If you live in a Congressional District w/ a Republican representative, you owe it to yourself and your country to call them relentlessly (202-224-3121). Insist that they vote AGAINST Trump's budget bill. Even if you think/believe they have no courage, appeal to their 'courage' – it may just work.

School teachers have to struggle to get supplies for their classrooms and pay out of their own pockets to provide basic items and tools, meanwhile ICE that is of no value to society is given $140 billion of your tax dollars to terrorize school children and communities.

If you live in OREGON’S 2nd District, your Rep is Cliff Benz (Repub). Your district has the highest rate of Medicaid enrollment in the state—48% overall, 70% of children.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

GOP lawmakers eye SNAP cuts, which would scale back benefits that help low-income people buy food at a time of high food prices
The federal government spent $100 billion on these benefits, which are still sometimes called food stamps, in 2024.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill. People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games. They know exactly what is going on. Defend Medicaid. Vote NO on Cloture. NO on bill.

I'm a dairy farmer. Checking the weather and forecast is the 1st thing I do each morning. Farmers rely on NOAA and NWS as we select varieties to plant and plan our field operations. Forecasts are critical as we try to figure out when to cut hay, which needs 2-4 days of drying before we can bale it.

Before asserting that something like this is happening because he says he can do it, journalists should ask what the statutory authority is, and if it is unclear or nonexistent, the headline and story should reflect that.
