When people talk about there being "Two Americas" in our country, this Buffalo News front page is it in a nutshell.
I don't begrudge people who are wealthy, but we shouldn't cut SNAP benefits to the needy at the same time we are giving tax cuts to those who should be paying their fair share.

🚨 Senate Republicans and VP JD Vance just advanced the largest Medicaid cuts in U.S. history.
At least 17 MILLION people will lose healthcare — all to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Trump’s GOP is choosing billionaires over families. We won’t forget.

Last night, 16 Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance a crypto-friendly bill that will enable Trump’s corruption.
Instead of standing up to Trump, these 16 Democrats decided they’d rather do a big favor for the crypto industry and legitimize an avenue for Trump to collect bribes.

Trump wants to criminalize congressional oversight. His corrupt DOJ just charged Congresswoman LaMonica McIver with “assault” even though video footage + witnesses prove SHE was shoved by ICE agents.
McIver was performing lawful oversight at an ICE Facility in Newark at the time.

The full House could vote on the budget reconciliation bill as early as Thursday. It is critical for taxpayers to weigh in today or tomorrow and voice opposition to proposals that could cause 10 million people to lose their Medicaid coverage and millions more to remain uninsured. Script in comments.
