Isn't Mike Johnson alarmed that Trump is spending money without Congressional approval?
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Worth remembering: The Constitution explicitly gives the power to set tariffs to Congress. They could stop this nonsense by the end of the day.

A lot of critical districts in the greater New York area.
In New Jersey and Pennsylvania alone, NJ-7 (Kean), PA-1/7/8 (Fitzpatrick, Mackenzie, Bresnahan). All swing districts. They can be reached by constituents at 202-224-3121, the US Capitol switchboard. Let them know what you think of the bill.

All hands on deck to stop the Big Ugly Budget in the House!
Squeaker Johnson knows he needs to ram it thru ASAP, before the pressure mounts.
If one of 👇 is your Rep, call them 202-224-2131 now. Reach out to anyone you know who might live in the districts.

Senator @schatz.bsky.social post this over at the bad place and it’s important. This Big Bad Brutal Bill is worse than you can imagine.
“This bill is a real piece of shit and it would be excellent if that's all anyone talked about for the next few days.”

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion.
They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich.
Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

Lots of TV drama: Will GOP Senate holdouts cave in?
(Spoiler: Duh.)
Murkowski just showed the way, with her sweetheart tax and Medicaid carve-outs only for Alaska. Everything about this bill reeks.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
