GOP comes together to pass a monstrous budget that will pave the way for tax cuts for the rich at the expense of Medicaid and SNAP. Congrats guys. Way to stick it to the working class and serve your billionaire masters.

Yes. Absolutely. And this is why RW media has spent decades lying about Democrats to people who already support Republicans: so that it justifies ANYTHING Republicans do to defeat them.

MAGA Mike Johnson says, "Just pray this through for us." He's asking the Lord to deny Medicaid to millions of people and cut SNAP funds so children go to bed hungry. He's that kind of Christian.

@sanders.senate.gov it’s a shame people did not heed your warning and Dems didn’t unite to face the problem head on and proactively. And now. The coup is in full force.
"These people want to abolish the concept of the minimum wage, they want to privatize the Veteran's Administration, they want to privatize Social Security, end Medicare as we know it, massive cuts in Medicaid, wipe out the EPA, you don't have an Environmental Protection Agency anymore, Department of Energy gone, Department of Education gone. That is the agenda. And many people don't understand that the Koch Brothers have poured hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars into the tea party and two other kinds of ancillary organizations to push this agenda."

PJD Vance owns an app called AcreTrader, which allows wealthy investors, many of whom are foreign, to purchase US farmland. Felon47, JD Vance, and Elon Musk are deliberately trying to tank farmland economies across the country so JD Vance and his billionaire tech buddies can swoop in and buy them up for pennies.
Here's a secret for all you Trump supporting farmers: they are deliberately tanking your industry so they can buy your land for pennies on the dollar at your bankruptcy auction. Hope this helps you understand what's happening.
Good luck!
