Is anyone else feeling like this fun little experiment called democracy in this country is over? Now I’m reading that congressional Republicans are being told to NOT have anymore town hall meetings. How else do we voice our displeasure? Trump has it all, senate, congress and military. We’re screwed

“.. this [DOGE] narrative should end very soon,” the official said. “Probably the best way for that to happen is no more town halls.”

Bankrupt? Republicans just advanced a budget that will add $4 trillion to the debt! They’re not preventing bankruptcy, they’re expediting it.

Attention working-class Americans:
Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security.
Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.
