“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget.
Republicans did it.
Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate.

the accuracy of this
one of the really challenging asymmetries in american politics is that democrats are asked to answer for the actions of every single hypothetical democratic voter in the country but republican lawmakers are not even asked about the behavior of their own elected peers
i would like some political reporter - any political reporter - to get one of the following reps on the record about mike lee and bernie moreno's comments:
- brad finstad
- tom emmer
- michelle fischbach
- pete stauber
both finstad and emmer served with her. ask them what they think of these lies.
