Let’s call this what it is: A closed-door meeting where Republicans huddle up and find out how they can give boatloads of our money to the richest among us and leave pennies for everyone else. They’ll pay for it by defunding Medicaid, which ~40% of kids rely on. The villains in any story book.
Ben Guggenheim (@ben_guggenheim): NEW: White House to begin hosting weekly tax discussions with congressional leadership -> Including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Speaker Mike Johnson, Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith and Finance Chair Mike Crapo

How can you tell that Trump and Musk don’t actually care about going after waste and fraud? They just fired someone at the Minnesota VA whose job was to find waste/inefficiencies to save taxpayer money. It’s all a façade to shell out more money for billionaires and big corporations.

Sharp cuts at the Department of Housing and Urban Development are likely to upend housing markets, make homes less affordable and roil mortgage transactions, according to current and former employees, contractors and housing experts.
HUD cuts expected to worsen America’s housing crisis, staffers say
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is expected to be slashed in half, according to an internal memo obtained by The Washington Post.

That’s Tammy Baldwin — not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, Fox News?

How far have we fallen as a country that we are siding with Russia and North Korea to vote against condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine?

Today, the US stood with Russia and North Korea — and against our allies — in voting against a UN resolution to condemn Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Let that sink in. This is a betrayal of the Ukrainian people, our allies, our interests and those who aspire for freedom.

People are mad, and we should be. We know when we’re being scammed. In the name of “efficiency” Musk is firing park rangers and cancer researchers, and defunding Medicare and Medicaid, all to find money for tax breaks for himself and big corporations.

Mark Alford (R-MO): Elon Musk has contracts with the federal government, but he is also, I think, doing an effective job at weeding out the waste, abuse, and fraud in the government. Constituents: BOOO!!! SHOW ME!!! CONFLICT OF INTEREST!!! HE IS THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE!!!

They’re letting a megalomaniac billionaire desperate for validation play President – if you’re surprised people are pissed, you need to get out of your DC bubble. Nothing more American than hating a bad boss, especially an illegitimate one like Musk. Republicans just don’t like being called on it.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 23(source)
Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies
Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick. That was in response to Musk saying “Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.” Musk responded @SenTinaSmith “What did you get done last week?”

I bet a lot of people have had an experience like this with a bad boss - there’s an email in your inbox on Saturday night saying, “Prove to me your worthiness by Monday or else.” I’m on the side of the workers, not the billionaire asshole bosses.

- Not to take on prescription price gouging - Not to protect veterans’ health care - Not to protect our avian flu response - Not to protect funding for firefighters - Not to protect funding for police officers All to pay for tax breaks for corporations.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 22(source)
On a Saturday too? Wow — well, here’s a summary of what Republicans voted to do this week: - Defund Medicaid - Defund Medicare - Not to protect IVF funding - Not to protect food assistance
@elonmusk: Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 21(source)
Senate Republicans once again showed us their true colors last night. They want to pay for tax breaks for their rich corporate friends by defunding your Medicaid and Medicare. Unreal.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.
