If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Today in American politics: cruelty, cowardice—and a spark of hope.
MAGA Republicans passed a budget slashing Medicaid & gutting universal school meals. Because in their world, starving kids & denying healthcare is fine as long as you’re not rich.
It’s cruelty by design.

Comparing @schumer.senate.gov — the highest-ranking Jewish lawmaker in Congress with family murdered in the Holocaust — to Hitler isn’t just vile, it’s antisemitic filth.
