Breaking: The court has granted our request for another restraining order, this time to stop the federal government from unlawfully slashing research funding that was already approved. This would have cost NC’s universities hundreds of millions and damaged core industries, prompting major layoffs.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.
The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.
Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
