Second question to Nehls here was mine. He spoke about enjoying lobster tail and ribeyes on July 4th, so I naturally asked him whether the 60% of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck could enjoy those luxuries.
His reply? Those Americans don't "work as hard" as him, as he heads home for another two-week recess after a two-day work week.
For the 2nd straight week, the Speaker is sending us home with NO progress on anything. All because MAGA is demanding that nothing get done for you until they pass a hideous solution to a problem that does not exist.
This is not your grandpa’s GOP.
It's well within the bounds of decorum to ask Kean 1) why he voted to strip health care from millions who might need mental health treatment while his treatment is covered and 2) whether, based on his current mental state, he is capable of serving the people of his district
In other words, the recent announcement by the White House that Trump is considering giving 250 pardons to celebrate America's 250th birthday is effectively him announcing that he'll be giving himself a gift of $500 million and letting *hundreds* of unrepentant rich criminals off
Clarence Thomas's wife Ginni Thomas was a participant in the January 6th insurrection and tried to overturn the election results. I don't need to read a 92 page dissent explaining why he's a Confederate.
Would an average person who makes ~$70K a year be able to take a SEVERAL MONTHS of absence from their work w/out informing them for depression?
Do you see the double standard they set for themselves?
Medicare for me but not for thee
Paid sick leave for me but not for thee
🚨 REPORTED 911 Dispatch regarding Sen. Mitch McConnell:
Dispatched 8:36 to his home in DC on June 14th... Requesting EMS stating “unconscious and needing ALS (advanced life support).”
Is Mitch McConnell even alive? We the people deserve to know.
Theodore Roosevelt said the national parks were the greatest gift this country ever gave itself, and the greatest idea we ever gave the world.
More than 100 nations copied it.
Donald Trump looks at that gift and sees a piggy bank for his own pet projects.
This week we learned where our national park money has been going. Not to Yellowstone. Not to Yosemite. To the walkway outside his office, where Trump ripped out American flagstone and laid down Italian granite at a cost of $689,000 to taxpayers. He said he paid for it himself.
That was a lie.
To cover his vanity projects, they are robbing the parks. Spending on parks outside Washington is down $854 million. More than 900 projects went unfunded. They even pulled money from a guardrail on a Colorado cliff that the Park Service flagged as a safety hazard.
I serve on Appropriations.
The power to spend belongs to Congress, not to a king redecorating his palace. These parks are not Trump’s to loot.
They belong to all of us, and I will fight for every dollar.
Feels fake. He says he went to the doctor for some tests and the doctor recommended an extended stay in a mental hospital? And he stayed for months? I won't make any guesses but yeah if this sounds off to you you're not crazy.
