BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

All ten of the PA Republicans in the majority sold out their constituents tonight to help Trump and their billionaire donors.
These GOP Medicaid cuts would devastate families and PA’s economy.

John James in Michigan had 132,500 people who were counting on him to protect their health insurance. Families, children, everyday people.
He voted to cut that funding to free up money to cut taxes for billionaires.
He's not going to be forgiven.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

DOGE and Trump admin have hobbled at least 11 federal agencies *that have been investigating Musk's companies.*
The NLRB alone had 24 ongoing investigations into Tesla & others--but Trump fired top officials so now cases can't move forward.

120. The Impoundment Crisis of 2025
The Trump administration's Monday spending freeze is likely to provoke a crisis over the constitutionality of "impoundment"—one that the justices could well have to resolve *very* soon.

Trump’s pick as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. is an enthusiastic defender of Jan. 6 rioters who wants to ban abortion with no exceptions. (His office is the only entity that can bring felony charges against adults in the District because we lack statehood.) www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
