Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Now all those who voted for trump and his congressional acolytes will see who this government is for. We will be a poorer, sicker and more hateful nation. The amendments added to this bill make it one of the worst bills to hit the floor; the Alaska carve outs for Murkowski's vote, case in point.

Trump just cancelled a classified House briefing on the Iran strikes with zero explanation.    The real reason?  He claims he destroyed “all nuclear facilities and capability;” his team knows they can’t back up his bluster and BS. Here's what they're scared we'll ask:  🧵

God bless this woman. She is a hero. Every damn word 🔥 The only thing I’d add: call the local police and report the group of men impersonating ICE and the attempted kidnapping—while they’re still lurking around.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers. Nobody’s going to spit on our military,” Mr. Trump stated about LA protest. But yet he did not say that about Jan 6th march on the Capital and he pardons those insurrectionists. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

“The judges are not ‘deranged,’ Madam Attorney General.” @judgeluttig.bsky.social has a message for Pam Bondi. And he warns that Trump’s war on the judiciary could end in catastrophe for the rule of law. #Velshi

Judge Luttig: Trump’s war the judiciary could see "catastrophic end"
The Trump administration’s war on the rule of law is most evident in its relentless attacks on American judges who rule against the former president’s policies. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently escalated that rhetoric, calling these judges “deranged”—a remark that former federal judge J. Michael Luttig found especially alarming. “The judges are not deranged, Pam Bondi. They are simply enforcing their oath to the Constitution of the United States—the same oath that you, Madam Attorney General, took yourself.” In this timely and urgent interview, the former federal judge warns, “I don’t know where this ends... but it appears that, in this moment, the President intends to prosecute this war against the federal judiciary–and the rule of law– to its catastrophic end.”

Another indicator w/ Rand Paul of where this may be going on Hill (plus @atrupar.com video of Ted Cruz). Sen Paul raises right issues re Emoluments. As I discuss, optimal move may be to propose Resolution of Consent to Qatar deal (which will USEFULLY fail) rather than resolution of opposition.

trump has activated the military to guard our southern border. One would think that there were trained military air traffic controllers that could be deployed to troubled airports, and military personnel that could be trained to perform the function. Would that be a better use of the military.
