The thing I’ll say about the folks on here cheering on the Texas flooding … you gotta do better if you’re even halfway serious about opposing fascism. You’re feeding the soul sickness you hate so much.

Take a break from the trade war and focus on this. The Senate and House have passed identical budget resolutions and the reconciliation process has begun. 800 billion + in Medicaid cuts. 250 billion+ in SNAP cuts very possible unless we can make GOPers fear for their reelection chances.
The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.
THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no.
Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

While watching that horrifying, globe-shifting exchange with Zelenkskyy, I couldn't help but think about what a deliberately staged reality-TV moment it was, with two people ganging up on one and screaming a classic, totally petulant reality-TV accusation: They hadn't been thanked enough.

Let’s break down the $4.5 trillion in tax cuts proposed by Republicans in Congress
And yet, I cannot find any reductions in tax rates for the middle class
I did see a corporate tax cut, from 21% to 15% (6 percentage points)
Let’s discuss what that doesn’t mean for you… (buckle up)

This constitutes fiercer opposition to Trump than anything we've ever seen from the most powerful elected officials in the country. What a thing to watch.
WOW! You've got to watch all of this.
A priest just confronted Trump's fascism to his face. She's so incredibly brave.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.
It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.
