Let’s make a list of stuff we’re spending money on and don’t need to.. ramping up ICE, building a new ballroom, bombing boats, bombing Iran, bombing Nigeria, golf trips, buying planes not needed for department heads … any thing else ??

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

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.
