“The only reason the system hasn’t already collapsed is that the mission-driven staffers who remain are each doing the work of five people. They are holding Social Security together with shoestrings and chewing gum— but they can’t do it forever.”

"Trump has already demonstrated that he'll attempt to make up for his diminished competence with ever increasing rage. So as his hold over his cult diminishes and his political losses grow, he's likely only to get more willing to take out his resentments on his true arch enemy: the American people."

I am not surprised at this. POTUS has his hands so far up Speaker Johnson's ass, he's the dummy to Trump's ventriloquist act
Congress abdicated its role as a separate and independent branch of government on January 20 while also relinquishing all oversight responsibility, so it’s entirely appropriate for Johnson to show that he has surrendered his gavel to the executive.

So House and Senate Republicans have voted to create an American Gestpao, and yes I said Gestapo. ICE's current tactics are the exact same tactics used by authoritarian secret police forces around the world. We can, we must, We shall resist.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Thank you @cleaver.house.gov for continuing to fight against this disaster of a hill and fighting for Missouri familes
At a time when income inequality is at historic levels and working class families are pleading for relief, congressional Republicans are fighting to make the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in American history—all to fund more tax cuts for the top 1% of families.

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16.
