Mike Johnson says Republicans want to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, calling them “entitlements” that need to be fixed. Of course, they plan to do it after next year’s midterm elections.

Since they tried to bury it, you know what to do. Video: xcancel.com/patriottakes...
Screenshot of a PatriotTakes post on X describing a 6-minute Republican opposition video outlining Ken Paxton's corruption, originally distributed by the NRSC, that has since been made unlisted on YouTube. The post includes a still from the video showing a black-and-white image of Paxton with a graphic reading "2011 - TEXAS STATE REPRESENTATIVE" and text describing Paxton soliciting investments in a technology company called Servergy while serving in that role.

Screenshot of a tweet from @factpostnews (FactPost) on X.com listing Ken Paxton's controversies after winning the TX GOP Senate primary runoff, including impeachment by his own party, a $300,000 fraud settlement, extramarital affairs, a mortgage fraud investigation, stealing a $1,000 pen, and firing whistleblowers. A photo of Paxton and partial vote results are shown below.

Remember last year's One Big Bullshit Bill? Republicans are now using that same 50-vote threshold budget reconciliation procedure to juice ICE and CBP with additional slush funding *and* fund Trump's ballroom. Call your reps. 🔥📞🔥 Info, numbers, script @ 5calls.org
Budget Reconciliation 2.0

A bill to use Budget Reconciliation to bypass the filibuster and provide additional slush funding for ICE, CBP, and Trump’s vanity projects.

This bill will...
Give ICE an additional $38.2 billion
Give CBP an additional $26 billion
Give DHS an additional $5 billion
Block all attempts to enact changes to ICE and CBP through FY2029
Provide $1 billion in funding for Trump’s ballroom
Allow these funds to be used with little congressional oversight and accountability

This bill only needs 50 votes to pass the Senate.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

A lot of people who sign up for their health insurance next month will see that it’s doubled or tripled in price. That’s unaffordable. And that's what Democrats are fighting to stop from happening, but Trump and Republicans would rather shut down the government than fix it.

GOP lies are coming fast now. They didn't have a clean funding bill; they refused to keep government open unless $90 million in our cash was released for *their* security details. Dems said no, we're not putting ourselves first, we're putting the working class's healthcare—which Trump trashed—first.
