This was the House of Representatives. Next the bill goes to the Senate, also controlled by Republicans. I believe this is a "reconciliation" bill, so the Democrats cannot even filibuster.
No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c), whether issued prior to, on, or subsequent to the date of enactment of this section.
Another brick in the wall between those that have, and those that don’t. History has shown us again and again that this usually ends up a disaster for a culture, a society, and a country. I’m 73, and though I believe I’m in good health, I hope that when this all blows up, I’ll already be dead and gone. I feel bad for my children and especially bad for my 6 grandchildren, all of whom are 12 and under.
I mean.....hate to say it that they'll likely be injured a lot from climate change....cause you know, Billionaires don't care how much damage they do because fuck it, they won't be around for the consequences so why should they?
My world history teacher, 20 years ago in high school, flat out said “republicans mess things up and then democrats come in to fix it and then republicans take credit while destroying things again”
And this isn’t some statement the dems are great or whatever. Just looking back on it, I had no idea how REAL that would be.
You sb furious. At the facists. And fighting til your last breath...so ur kids & grandkids won't have to live under authoritarian rule on a sick & dying planet.
No, this is going to blow up before the nazi-in-chief leaves office. Odds strongly favor you being around for that. He's not leaving without violence. And we won't have fair elections in half the nation either next year or 2028. No, you'll see at least the start of it.
Honestly, I think we’re already in the early phases of it. History tells us that there’s no formal “Declaration of War”, but a gradual increase in agitation and resistance, with some kind of catalyst along the way blowing it all up. I’m in “watch and wait” mode.
I'm also not sure that that 90% of their base will figure out that their Republican Congressfolk are really the problem. Gotta be the fault of Democrats, transgender people, uppity women who want to vote, and immigrants.
They just bypassed the filibuster to restrict California's ability to regulate vehicles within its borders. They'll probably go for that again on this bill.
Republicans are a group of like minded people you align with. Conservatism is how you see the world on every level. I would forgive a Republican before a conservative.
I could definitely see myself forgiving them after they stop being republican and conservative. And alive.
I mean, "the only good nazi is..."
I play this up a bit for humor and dramatic effect, of course. I am willing to be neutral to an enemy that surrenders and stops trying to kill me and ceases obstructing all efforts to make the world less shit. That's the basic peace treaty of life.
I don't *actually* forgive anyone who deliberately chooses the path of supremacism, seeking to do harm without consequence as if that were the pinnacle of human experience.
Forgiveness is never owed, and for some things, can never be earned. And that's fine. If they must suffer a long and peaceful life upset that someone remembers when they chose evil... that's fair and reasonable. If the consequences weren't permanent, they would relapse.
Okay, so, seriously, why isnt America stepping up and lining these evil fucks against the fucking wall?
Signed; a frustrated, anxious, transgender Canadian who is absolutely sickened by this monumental shitshow, and does NOT want your bullshit flowing up here. (also, I know it's easier to say as an outsider, but seriously, America, this whole thing is fuuuuucked)
Cause 70% of Americans are backwards racist misogynist nazis. And yes I count everyone who did not vote in that percentage since they helped by not voting.
Because if I picked up my gun and tried to do something about it, -I'd- be the one getting lined up against the wall by the corrupt and over-armed police state.
Signed; a stressed-out woman with many wonderful transgender friends that she's constantly terrified over the safety of.
Because 30% of the voting population are poorly educated, evil, racist, and/or have brain damage from lead paint. Also, humans dont like changing what they've always done even when confronted with evidence that it's not working. We will look for reasons to continue doing it the same way.
Most of the right voters in this country view voting as football, they just want their side to win no matter what happens afterward.
Because if I tried to do anything even remotely likely to help I and those like me would be painted as the enemy. Not to mention the amount of folks likely to assault or kill me in the process of doing so. I hate it and I wish my country wasn't such a shit show but realistically there is nothing I can do that won't put me and mine in direct danger.
So, they are adding work requirements to Medicaid, they start in December of 2026 (a month after the midterms, which is nice that they are still planning on having midterms)

since the largest users of those programs are republicans i hope they enjoy getting exactly what they voted for

Their pride comes from getting away with things. They feel mighty, and righteous because we keep letting them hurt people.

The crazy part is that most of their voter base benefits from those programs. I feel like they just dug their own grave in two years.

It's not gonna pass, they're catering to the 10% of their voter base, while forgetting 90% of them are on that assistance.

So far they've suffered no legal consequences though, so I'm not sure what would stop them.
