I’m sorry—but it is very difficult to maintain a high opinion of anyone who thinks this is fitting conduct for the President of the United States. He embarrasses the country and makes his supporters look like fools every single day.

I spent yesterday and this morning being torn to shreds by TO THOSE WILLING TO DROWN by @matthews_mark This book is a masterclass of grief horror. Deep introspection does nothing to slow the breakneck speed or interrupt the action. A Greek tragedy of well-researched folklore.

Quite a spectacle to see so many support a bill that shits on them economically, all to own the libs.
But her emails But her cackle Ending health care, ending clean energy, giving AI free reign, transferring wealth to the billionaire class, all to own the libs. #biguglybill
I’m tired, borderline delirious, and frustrated. After 27 chaotic hours, it’s clear once again that my Republican colleagues are willing to sell out the American people in order to serve Donald Trump’s agenda.
I don't think we're talking enough about how this Big Dumb Ugly Bill expands ICE by a factor of 20. ($2.2B to $45B) That's 20 times more agents. 20 times more arrests, plus illegal detention centers. Trump is using the bill to create his own paramilitary gestapo.
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.
If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you need—just don't pass the bill! Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't? This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.
Good morning. 5:30am update: We have been debating amendments for 21 hours and we are still going because through 12 hours of debate and 21 hours of amendment votes, Republicans still don’t have 50 votes for their bill. Because it’s a moral monstrosity.
