McGovern: Listen to this quote from Murkowski who just caved and voted for this. "My hope is that the house is going to look at this and recognize we are not there yet."
If you really believe that, why the hell did you vote for the bill?

The GOP is trying to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts. If you’ve got a Republican senator, demand that they reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Is there any doubt why Trump pardoned all of the Jan 6 insurrectionists? Now he has a group of brainless zombies that will do his bidding anytime he calls on them.

Again and again, these GOP senators are choosing to remain silent or outright enable the shredding of our Constitution and dismantling of our government because they care more about the billionaires who will benefit than they do about us.
And all of these senators are facing re-election next year.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad?
We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.
