This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

And the Dems have already conceded that they won't fight this.
Fucking weak people during a terrifying time
BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

I'd rather continue to fund the banking police (who have returned billions to consumers) rather than giving everyone a check for $2.15

This is so pathetic.
Just basically saying "we'll do nothing. You might as well wait on judges or GOP to grow a conscience."
Like thanks, guess I'll not vote for you next time. You'll have to wait for me to gain motivation.
Asked what Democrats will do if Trump ignores the courts, Sen. Amy Klobuchar says Senate Republicans might stand up to the White House. "I've seen a few of them stand up from time to time."

Courts can't do it.
Congress can't do it.
There's pretty much only 2 ways this ends.
Amd if the military stays put, Elon and Trump will stay in power for the foreseeable future.
They'll make up a crisis to suspend elections or use computers to rig them.

Many are asking: “What can I do now?”

Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

We really should call DOGE for what it is: an occupation of government.
No clearance, no legal authority.
They are pushing into administrative spaces and illegally taking control over information and levers of power.
An invading force would not act any different if it got into DC

Decided to move onto here.
Thought it would be better for my mental health.
But nothing is going to cure that with the state of this country as is haha
