Is the press seriously going to cover this story without mentioning that Trump was impeached in his first term for withholding aid to Ukraine to pressure Zelensky into fabricating dirt on Biden to help Trump win in 2020? Seems relevant!

As Sen. @jeffyarbro.bsky.social says — 25% of health care spending in Tennessee comes from MEDICAID, which all 8 @TNGOP Reps just voted to slash to cut taxes for rich people (and add trillions to the debt)

But hey - at least @RepTimBurchett got to talk to Trump 🫤 — that’s one costly head-pat

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout.

Democrats voted yes.

Republicans voted no.

Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.
