Not a SINGLE Democratic senator should vote for the Republican spending bill. Doing so would simply further embolden and empower Trump in his effort to destroy our government and the vital services it provides.
STAND YOUR GROUND AND FIGHT — LIKE HOUSE DEMOCRATS DID!!

As American communities suffer the devastating impacts of climate change, the Trump administration is dismantling vital efforts that keep our air and water clean and limit carbon pollution.

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.

This bill would would allow health care providers to “physically examine a minor child” for the purpose of identifying their “biological sex” without the “consent of the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian.”

Trump/Musk are currently illegally blocking funding for the University of Maine because Trump doesn't like to Maine's governor. Voting no on the appropriations bill is a key way to get leverage to enforce the law. Why would King just surrender?
I dunno, man. Seems like Elon's already been shutting down the government in a pretty painful and totally unconstitutional way. Maybe don't play it off as that being better.

Why isn’t anyone asking them for proof of this? Ask them what GDP was last year. Ask what percentage of that was government spending. Ask them to explain why that is unsustainable. Ask why taking food from children helps anything. Ask the fucking questions! I guarantee they can’t or won’t answer.

I find it baffling that Musk‘s eugenicist world view is almost completely missing from the coverage of his political actions. Why does he hate USAID & is willing to cause deaths? Because he only views certain people worthy of life and dignity. It’s not a mystery. It’s out there for all of us to see.

If the CEO of Raytheon or Boeing called a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee a “traitor”, they’d probably have their contracts revoked. Or there’d at least be a Senate review and/or hearing.

Some points worth noting:
* The Canadian tariffs on dairy were negotiated by Trump in a plan that he touted, at the time, as great
* The tariffs only kick in after a certain amount of exports from the US that are tariff-free
* That amount has never been met
* The US has similar tariffs already

🚨 🤥 PAY ATTENTION — Elon is telling you they want to slash programs that help the poor & elderly so they can cut taxes for the rich.

They do not vote.
He’s inventing these “waste fraud abuse” numbers.

Truth is what *we* believe it to be.
The Trump administration appears to have deleted a Justice Department web page describing a study that concluded undocumented immigrants in Texas commit notably less crime than U.S. citizens, a finding that contradicts the White House’s frequent descriptions of such migrants as violent criminals
