The House GOP's CR gives Trump & Musk a blank check to steal YOUR taxpayer dollars. I won't vote to help two billionaires pick winners & losers.
 
I spoke on the Senate floor about exactly why I'm voting NO—let's pass my bill to prevent a shutdown ASAP.

Despite what Elon Musk says—Social Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme.

Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

A year or so ago, I bought a big bag of raffia at the local farm store. I knew I’d make
something but I was thinking cordage. Now I have one bundle left, and a new sun hat. #crochet

These are the things taxpayers could be funding if left to the GOP — lessons on demons and memorization of Christian scripture. Girls would be reminded of their place in society and every other religion would be admonished as near Satanism on your dime. jesspiper.substack.com/p/demonic-yoga

FINALLY one western nation is acting to root out Russian interference.

Romania's investigations into Pro-Russian candidate Georgescu reveal another puppet of the Putin regime.

$10,000,000 in cash, trips back and forth to Moscow, all the usual.

Why can't other nations get serious about Russians?

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families.

Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.
Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.
