I think Republicans in Congress are proving, daily, that governing was never the point. They all just voted for a bill that’s horrendous for their constituents, but *amazing* for millionaires and billionaires. Politics over sane policy. The grift is on…

I wrote a thing about the disastrous Trump budget bill that will kick millions off health insurance, decimate AR' rural health system, and tons of other awful things. The fight is not over: Call our members of Congress at 202-224-3121 and tell them to change course. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

Ok, so here's what I've heard so far re: negotiations on the prison funding bill (THREAD). Senate Dems, working under the assumption that Sanders will get the money for the prison eventually, somehow, even if SB354 dies, are trying to use their leverage to get something useful. (1/ )

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

“We’ve created a world - very, very quickly, in 4 or 5 weeks - in which the level of American strength is incomparably lower.” Trump is making America far more vulnerable by abandoning allies, embracing enemies & destroying our democratic infrastructure at home. youtu.be/11QBNJj_8gM?...

Senate Republicans have confirmed Trump’s least qualified Cabinet nominees—and given up their role as an independent check on the president. This will encourage Trump, @dgraham.bsky.social writes. And in bowing to him, senators may be defying voters’ preferences.
