Republicans (not a single Dem vote) passed a bill yesterday to defund Medicare/Medicaid by $880 billion, increasing the debt by $4 TRILLION.
But don't worry - the wealthy, like Musk, will get their tax breaks paid for by folks like us trying to make ends meet.
🙏🏼☎️ your senators!

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

One thing I would love to see come from all the chaos is for every single elected office to have a path of recall by their constituency. If they do a terrible job representing the people, the people should be able to FIRE THEM!
If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

"If the GOP could pull Trump’s dick out of their mouths long enough for the oxygen to return to their brains, they might see how batshit crazy it is to run a govt like this... But that would require a spine and these Republicans have the collective courage of a baby deer caught in a 6-lane highway."

To be clear - these men are NOT police officers. They have been identified as some private security group that the Chief of Police said should have had no power at this meeting. This is heinous, and people cheered them on.
“Your voice is meaningless right now. ... I can talk over all of you.”

Every other news post is a "turning point in America" story, which pairs nicely with the fucking spiral we've all been in since 20Jan.

Less than a week to prove he is a lied to Congress. Think any Senator will say a word about it?

I don't know how to scream this loud enough. This is NOT A PAUSE ON "AID"! They have blocked all money to our government agencies - they can't pay regular bills or conduct necessary business. THIS IS CRIPPLING OUR COUNTY and is an illegal power grab.

Had anyone ever considered the story from Gus' POV? I mean, he was just a regular mouse, rolling through, looking for a meal, and got stuck in a trap. Then here comes this chick, and all these "decent" mice in clothes, snatching him up, forcing him into their cult garb. #Lovebombing him!

Rick called it pretty perfectly. Thankfully that nudes Jim Comer part wasn't televised, but Johnson did leave the floor for a few minutes.
Johnson will likely land the Speakership after some ritual humiliation, tribal chest-beating, goat sacrifices, and a final battle over the conch shell with a nude Jim Comer in a pool of pudding.
