State of play: King (Maine), Cortez-Masto (Nevada), and Fetterman (Asshole) caved. GOP will look for more on the next vote. Top targets are the others who caved in March: Schatz (HI) Durbin (IL) Gillibrand & Schumer (NY) Hassan & Shaheen (NH) Peters (MI) Keep an eye on Warner/Kaine in Virginia too.

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

Their plan is to rehabilitate and then pardon an adjudicated habitual sex assaulter and human trafficker as a character witness for a different habitual sex assaulted who methodically defames his victims. No judge or jury would find either of them credible, and neither should anyone else.

Think of it this way: he’s soliciting false and/or misleading testimony from a convicted child sex trafficker and rapist to vouch for him so that he doesn’t have to show you the actual evidence that points toward his involvement and guilt, in exchange for clemency from life in prison.

Trump killed Sudan food aid after Biden declared it a genocide. Rubio backed the cuts. Now famine is wiping out persecuted Christians—and Trump struck a deportation deal with their oppressors. This isn’t foreign policy. It’s complicity in crimes against humanity.

If you look at post war Germany, Nazis and their sympathizers did not fare well. Many were tried as war criminals and either imprisoned or executed. Others were held in internment camps by the Allies.

Rubio called it “waste, fraud, and abuse.” But whistleblowers say no real audit ever happened. Just a purge of programs with words like “gender” and “climate.” This wasn’t about waste. It was about erasing U.S. aid—by design. Share, Quote, Like. #StopTheRescission

Clawing back foreign aid is tied to 'waste, fraud and abuse.' What's the evidence?
As the Senate prepares to vote on a bill to rescind $40 billion in promised foreign aid, critics of the measure say a thorough governmental review of targeted programs did not actually take place.

The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion.  They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich.  Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

Nothing like a little “creative accounting” to push a $3.3 trillion tax cut for the rich. Republicans are using an accounting gimmick to make it look like their tax plan doesn’t add to the deficit. Can’t pass it honestly? Just cook the books.
