This isn’t Republicans stopping waste, fraud, and abuse. This is just cruelty. The cruelty is the point.
Donald Trump should fire Russell Vought immediately before he runs the country into the ground.
White House official Russell Vought said it “wasn’t in our interest” to release a federal budget plan, explaining a decision that defied decades of bipartisan tradition and that some experts say broke the law. wapo.st/46geyo7
Trump’s flip-flops like this show his weakness to the Chinese Communist Party.
Emil Bove’s nomination by Donald Trump is an insult to every single qualified, independent judge who has ever sat on our federal courts.
Senator Thune is out on Fox News asking for more bipartisanship after passing the Big, Ugly Betrayal and after jamming through a hyper-partisan rescissions package designed by Russell Vought? What a joke.
CONFIRMED: Trump's Big, Ugly Betrayal is going to kick as many as 15 million Americans off their health care and spike our national debt by another $3.4 trillion. The Republicans’ signature bill is the ultimate betrayal of the American people.
Senate Republicans love to talk about the fiscal responsibility, but they just added $4 TRILLION to the debt with their Big, Ugly Betrayal. And it’s all so that they can give tax cuts to billionaires.
Vance can try whatever he wants, but the Big, Ugly Betrayal rips healthcare away from millions of Americans, explodes the debt, and hurts working families. And it’s all just to give billionaires another tax break. Democrats will not stop fighting for working Americans.
Donald Trump and Linda McMahon are trying to dismantle public education in America, firing thousands of workers and defunding our schools. Democrats won’t stop fighting for #ClassroomsNotCuts. This is about our kids’ future.
This is cruelty. This is incompetence. This does nothing to keep America safe.
Trump incinerating 500 tons of emergency food set to go to hungry kids has nothing to do with government efficiency. It has nothing to do with fighting government waste. It’s cruelty and downright incompetence.
I called for this because we need accountability for how the Trump cuts impacted the response to the Texas flooding and how they’ll impact future disaster response efforts across America. We will not stop fighting to restore the National Weather Service.
The Department of Commerce’s Office of the Inspector General has opened an inquiry into staffing at the National Weather Service and the circumstances surrounding the deadly flooding in Central Texas. scrippsnews.com/us-news/first-…
Hear it from your own Brookings Register:
Strengthen Medicaid for those whom it was originally intended to serve. Cut waste, fraud, and abuse. Support rural hospitals. These are all pillars of our commitment to reforming Medicaid so it’s sustainable for the long term.
Senate Republicans knew this bill was wrong, but they are so damn afraid of Donald Trump that he just crushed them. Democrats will never stop standing up for the American people.
DONALD TRUMP SHOULD FIRE RUSSELL VOUGHT IMMEDIATELY. Vought is trying to eviscerate the budget process, the Constitution, destroy the balance of power, and hurt the American people.
This is what Republicans just did in their rescissions package: —Defunded local news and public radio that so many Americans rely on —Axed educational programming like Sesame Street —Slashed foreign aid that keeps America safe and healthy Democrats will not stop fighting for…
On the very same day that communities in Alaska turned to public radio and TV for tsunami warning updates, Republicans in Washington voted to take away funding for public broadcasting. It is senseless, cruel, and defies common sense.
THE SENATE DEMOCRATS WALKED OUT OF THE JUDICIARY HEARING WHEN SENATE REPUBLICANS TRIED TO FORCE THROUGH EMIL BOVE. He’s unfit to be the nominee. He’s probably the most scandal-ridden nominee in modern history. He’s just a Trump lackey.
STOP THE DOUBLE STANDARD. The FCC is investigating CBS’s interview with Harris, but an investigation into Fox News’s misleading investigation of the Trump interview on the Epstein files? Nowhere to be found. Stop the politically motivated FCC investigations.
The @FCC is investigating CBS’s interview with Harris but not Fox News’s misleading edits to its Trump interview about the Epstein files. This is an outrageous double standard. @SenSchumer and I are calling on the FCC to end its politically motivated investigations.
With these Republican cuts, this is a dark day for America, a dark day for rural Americans, a dark day for any American who relies on public broadcasting during floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other disasters. Democrats will not stop fighting back for the American people.
It’s past midnight, and Democrats aren’t letting up. We’re introducing amendment after amendment to fight the Trump-MAGA-Senate Republican cuts, their cuts public broadcasting that Americans need, and their cuts to foreign aid that helps keep Americans safe.
