The only difference is that in America, these fuckers won instead of getting arrested
The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

Again, any time a Republican says we have to slash Medicaid to fix the deficit, they need to be asked why we shouldn’t just increase taxes on the rich.
It’s a zero sum game. Make them defend giving more money to billionaires over keeping ordinary people healthy.

Please let this pass with one vote. Every single vulnerable Republican will be tarred as being the deciding vote on stripping healthcare from their constituents and exploding the debt, all to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.
So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on.

If you are more worried about protecting a political party from criticism, or spend more time policing the different types of leftists, progressives or liberals, all the while a right wing regressive oligarchy is dismantling the foundations of your country, you need to recalibrate your priorities.

I think there are good odds that the Trump administration uses the retaliatory tariffs imposed by Canada on lumber as an excuse for large-scale private timber operations on federal lands. They may even try to privatize national parks, etc. at a significant level.

Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law.
Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.
