There is a special place in hell for lawmakers who cut benefits and safety net programs designed to help poor people while protecting the interests of the rich.

The next Democratic president can just impound the billions of extra ICE funding on day one, right? Withhold it without any explanation? Since that’s a thing presidents can do now?

A big reason Dems don't control the House right now—and this murderous spending bill is possible—is Andrew Cuomo, who fucked New York's congressional redistricting as governor and helped lose us seats in Congress. www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/06...
It all goes back to some tangled ancient history: When Cuomo was running for governor in 2010, he pledged to end “hyper-partisan” redistricting. Two years later he used the census-mandated redrawing of district lines as a chit in state budget negotiations. Cuomo got a new pension tier that lowered payments for some unionized state employees; in exchange, incumbent state legislators got the ability to create districts that would favor their reelection. The drawing of new congressional districts was punted 10 years down the road and placed in the hands of an unwieldy, supposedly “independent” commission. This year, when New York Republicans stalled the commission’s work, they essentially pushed redistricting into the state’s courts.

Cuomo made strenuous efforts to steer the state down the ideological middle, which he claimed was a necessity early on—when Republicans controlled a majority of the state senate—but which also enhanced his own power. One byproduct was Cuomo’s nominating of the four relatively conservative judges, including one Republican, who in April voted to tear up the proposed congressional redistricting maps. “What Democrats did to our majority on the highest court would never happen in a Republican-controlled state,” Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney says, which is as close as he will get to blaming Cuomo. “That court made a mess of this, and it put the project in the hands of a Republican in Steuben County. And we got a crappy result.”

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030. Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.
