Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Anyomne who thinks 1900 USA was a richer country than 2025 USA doesn't understand anything about wealth.
Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

Is DOGE an official or unofficial act of the President?

Are Republican senators in favor of this plan? Do they genuinely intend to relinquish their power and ultimately lead to the dissolution of the legislative branch?

🤔

Any attorneys out there care to share their insights regarding this document? Does this document indicate that the President has been authorizing DOGE? If so, is the President in violation of Article II of the Constitution?

I love basketball with all of my heart. As a former college 🏀player, it provided a home away from home. It taught me valuable lessons that other endeavors merely dream of teaching.

With that said, this @thenba.space All-Star Game has been terrible.
