    Holy shit. Not only did Republicans in the Senate BLOCK a Bill protecting Medicaid, they also torpedoed Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to protect CHILDREN’S and MATERNAL health care through Medicaid.

    This is pure EVIL.

    Republicans are not here to help any person in America. They have blocked every single bill that would help Americans, they have approved every single bill to help corporations and 1%.

    Why isn’t this a BIGGER story??

    This clip has it all! The moment he realizes his constituents aren't as stupid as he thought they were. The blame the Democrats answer goes down in flames. The gaslighting goes down in flames. And he's left with nothing but to admit he didn't know enough about the bill he sponsored. At which point he turns on his snowflake feelings 😂


    From @linzdefranco Representative McCormick claims he didnt know that a bill he sponsored would make it harder for married women to vote.

    post from a wisconsin resident. so its about him. but the vote count tells the story....



    Ron Johnson just told Wisconsin veterans to drop dead.
    At 3:02 AM, he voted NO on funding VA health care under the PACT Act—lifesaving care for veterans poisoned by toxic burn pits. He chose to let them suffer.
    But he’ll still show up at parades, shake hands, and lie to your face. Don’t let him get away with it.

    from yesterday....

    Earlier today, the US Senate’s $340 billion budget resolution passed in the middle of the night. Here’s how Republicans voted when they thought nobody was paying attention. #RepublicanBudgetScam

    Demand your @GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff.

    Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

    Please share as widely as possible.
    “Last night in the Senate, something really important happened. Republicans forced us to debate their billionaire bailout budget framework. We started voting at 6 PM because they knew doing it in the dark of night would minimize media coverage. And they do not want the American people to see how blatant their handover of our government to the billionaire class is.

    Conservatives threaten to tank House budget vote needed to advance Trump agenda

    Speaker Mike Johnson has been making progress with moderates who've raised concerns about potential Medicaid cuts, but a band of fiscal hawks are refusing to budge.

    house plan through reconciliation process...


    If you're confused about exactly WHAT is in House Budget Resolution that's so devastating for everyday Americans, I've got the breakdown. I went through the full bill (S. Con. Res. 7), so you don't have to.

    Bottom line, blocking this vote is URGENT. It's a blueprint for gutting Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP & the community centers people depend on to survive while protecting massive tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

    Mike Johnson is scrambling for votes RIGHT NOW.

    Here's what's at stake: 🧵

    Here's the link to the resolution should you want to peruse and get angry: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-concurrent-resolution/7/text

    BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

    ❗️ “Did Russia invade Ukraine?” U.S. The Deputy Secretary of Defense nominee can’t answer a simple question!

    Senator Mark Kelly asks Stephen Feinberg a simple question:
    “Did Russia invade Ukraine?”.

    After his flawless answer, Mark added:
    “It’s a pretty simple question I had for the Deputy Secretary of Defense nominee. It’s an obvious “yes” to everyone except this administration”. USA Threads

    Jasmine Crockett: “It is time for us to say, Mr. President, guess what? Russia invaded Ukraine. Can we at least agree on that one? Facts matter. We may be heading toward the next world war because we have a president who wants to pal around with Putin. Is there anybody in here that has enough courage to say Russia invaded Ukraine?”

    Ranking Member of HVAC, Rep. Mark Takano:

    "I do hope that we can have a hearing specifically on the topic of the unfairly dismissed employees from VA Especially the veterans who had stellar performance reviews, but yet were still dismissed."

    Marjorie Taylor Greene denied me from speaking at today’s DOGE Subcommittee hearing on foreign aid, even though waivers to do so have always been respected by both sides.

    I was the first Dem on the DOGE Caucus, and I lead a Subcommittee on @houseforeign. Why is MTG so afraid?
