The IDF is starving an entire population, luring them with promises of food, and then shooting large numbers of them dead every single day but then the Glastonbury artists did say something mean about the IDF on telly and, if you really think about it, that is worse.

The "big, ugly bill" will add trillions of dollars to our national debt, fire health-care workers, throw people off their health insurance, close rural hospitals and cause more people to go hungry. There's nothing beautiful about a bill that will cost Americans their jobs, savings and health.

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

They’re not only overturning precedent on the shadow docket, but ~deciding~ other cases in a non-binding (dicta) way to give cover for these actions. Today, this unnamed group of conservative justices, not even claiming this is “per curiam,” say that the Federal Reserve is different. Sure.
Finally, respondents Gwynne Wilcox and Cathy Harris contend that arguments in this case necessarily implicate the constitutionality of for-cause removal protections for members of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors or other members of the Federal Open Market Committee.
See Response of Wilcox in Opposition to App. for Stay 2-3, 27-28; Response of Harris in Opposition to App. for Stay 3, 5-6, 16-17, 36, 40. We disagree. The Federal Reserve is a uniquely structured, quasi-private entity that follows in the distinct historical tradition of the First and Second Banks of the United States. See Seila Law, 591 U. S., at 222, n. 8.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

As 1 of the MILLIONS of people who is dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid and ALSO receives SNAP, this bill will affect me. I'm angry, disgusted and NOT surprised that this Administration and Congress is targeting the most vulnerable: People like me who are disabled & subsist on fixed incomes.
