When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

This is a great summary of what's going to happen with the budget and what can be done. Bottom line: CALL YOUR REPS

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.
The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA.
Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.
