  • Republicans are offsetting some of those costs with cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, along with major changes to Medicaid, the joint federal and state program that provides health care for roughly 70 million low-income, elderly and disabled Americans. Early estimates suggest around 11 million people could lose coverage under the GOP bill.

    Don't worry, we aren't getting medicaid - because we said we aren't. No need to proofcheck.

    The only saving grace, which is... like getting sprinkles on that dogshit sandwich:

    To get the bill through, Republicans turned to a special budget tool known as reconciliation. By doing so, the party was able to sidestep a Democratic filibuster and pass the bill with a simple majority. But the legislation also needed to fit strict Senate rules that require all of the elements to be primarily related to the budget and spending. That meant many GOP priorities were stripped from the legislation before the final vote.

  • Such useless deathrows. Renewable energy is competitive in price now even without subsidies - it's literally throwing money away for an investor to invest in nonrewable energy.

    Its like trying to make telegrams a thing despite having cellphones...

  • This would never work - there's already WiFi 6 (or newer) equipment deployed.

    You somehow expect both Grandma and Samsung and Comcast to disable their 6Ghz wifi? AND you expect the military to give up their spectra and what... buy all new equipment that doesn't exist?

    Ted Cruz is a fucking moron.

  • Well it's not like he can blame tacobell for this one - but I wouldn't be surprised if his dumbass couldn't successfully navigating launching a conference call.

    A reminder that At&t, T-Mobile, and Verizon all signed off on "Trump Mobile".

    Trump Mobile's "T1" mobile service will operate over all three major wireless carriers, according to the company's website. - Source

    U.S. strikes 3 nuclear sites in Iran, in major regional conflict escalation

    Trump initially sought to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran — one to replace the Obama-era agreement that he abandoned, despite Iran's apparent compliance, in 2018.

    I feel like this doesnt get enough attention.

    Dude threw away a winning hand and is now at the table naked.

    Trump asks Congress to wipe out funding for public broadcasting

    A reminder to support your local public broadcast station, and of Mr. Rogers testifying before Congress (and actually making a conservative switch stances - that won't happen today)

    Sending 20% of the roughly $8.6 billion of DOGE savings the group has so far listed on its website would amount to about $11 per taxpayer.

    Are we in a constitutional crisis?

    Amanda Frost is a Law Professor at the University of Virginia Law. She says a constitutional crisis occurs when one branch of government, usually the executive, "blatantly, flagrantly and regularly exceeds its constitutional authority — and the other branches are either unable or unwilling to stop it."

    Frost says the first half of her definition is already happening, and that it's clear President Trump has gone beyond the powers of the executive branch. She points to him trying to usurp Congress' "power of the purse" or trying to put an end to birthright citizenship as examples.

    Considering their willingness to ignore or deliberately misinterpret court orders, I'd argue we've met the second part of the definition...

    President Donald Trump on Friday said he plans to take executive action to overhaul — or possibly end — the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, slamming the agency for its response to historic floods in North Carolina.

    Army says Arlington National Cemetery worker was 'pushed aside' by Trump aides

    This is not the first time Trump has been accused of politicizing the military for his personal gain. He’s allegedly called dead soldiers “suckers and losers,” insulted the late John McCain for being a prisoner of war and recently stoked controversy for saying civilian Medal of Freedom recipients are much better than those who received the Medal of Honor — the highest military award in the country, often given posthumously.

    Supreme Court Blocks, for Now, Another Biden Student Debt Plan

    The move followed a decision last year that the Biden administration had overstepped its authority by trying to forgive more than $400 billion in student loans.

    Donald Trump questioned Kamala Harris’s racial identity in a confrontational appearance at a Black journalists’ conference.

    Trump was questioned immediately on his rhetoric about race during a tense appearance at a Black journalists’ conference, where the audience at times gasped and scoffed at his remarks.
