Oh, look. The House GOP Budget reflects all the evil cuts to Medicaid they said they'd do in Project 2025. Maybe take them literally and seriously.

The illegality and unconstitutionality of the Trump regime is accelerating. This is a coup.

“At least Russia has elections”
Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999.
If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.
