NEW: The average net worth of Republican committee members responsible for writing tax policy is $15 MILLION.

The wealthiest among them stand to gain $24.6 MILLION in tax cuts from the Trump tax scam.

No wonder their budget makes working people pay for tax breaks for the rich.

[Kels 💋💉🏈 ⛓️🔪🩸 @11spiced]

Republican Thomas Massie is the only GOP House member to vote no on the “budget” bill… and he did so with his chest out.

The bill will be catastrophic for many. Trump’s not cutting spending at all… they’re vastly increasing it.

Just not to help you. #obviously

Co-presidency is the right framing. This goes beyond oligarchy. Putin doesn’t let his oligarchs have this much influence over his government. This is an unelected billionaire unilaterally firing workers, dismantling agencies, and freezing funds.

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!!!

[ESSENCE @Essence]

Following Sunday’s announcement of The ReidOut’s cancellation, support for Joy-Ann Reid poured in, with calls for greater representation of Black women in media. https://t.co/93kzdeiGuk

Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) answering a constituent's question about guns: I am willing to invest more money in mental healthcare...

Constituents: No! BOO!!!

Alford: I don't think we need more gun control. We need more self-control.

Constituents: BOO!!!!!!

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

This vote is a disgrace.

Trump’s senseless betrayal of the alliances that have kept Americans safe since World War II and his fealty to the murderous aggressor Putin are a national security threat.

[CSPAN @cspan]

French President @EmmanuelMacron corrects President Trump.

Trump: "Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."

Macron: "No, in fact. To be frank we paid. We paid 60% of the total effort."

[annoyed by everything @anotherdeiinnyc]

The Speaker abdicating Congress' job for oversight to an unelected, unstable billionaire should be a bigger story but hey

“you’re giving away sensitive Government data to an unelected billionaire Contractor?”

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

As billionaires see their riches grow, homeless children are dying in the cold. Wealth disparity and tax cuts have a deep cost. What have we become?

Tonight, @60Minutes asked why Elon wants to shutter CFPB, the agency that should be protecting Elon’s own customers from fraud and abuse.

@ChopraUSA explains: honest companies and consumers will pay a heavy price if Elon gets his way. This is corruption.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Literally every legal expert and lawmaker are telling government employees NOT to respond to the unelected oligarch with no authority to make such a request for information.

Please share this fact sheet about Ukraine with anyone who needs it

[Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY]

Translation = I want yes men to rubber stamp any unlawful or unethical order Trump gives to the troops (like shooting protestors in the legs).

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

Well that is the truth. All of this is a process of rearranging government for an accelerated transition from democracy to autocracy. That includes a new domestic role for the military and new autocratic allies abroad. Read #Strongmen to see how that works out,

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

This. This. This!!!!!
Do not let them gaslight you into thinking this shit is what the American people voted for.
That’s a lie.

ACTUALLY NOT NEW AT ALL -- Trump lied about Ukraine and a bunch of other things in his CPAC speech.
