Just now 98% of republicans in Congress voted to screw veterans, steal health care from 600,000 Americans, and kill up to a million jobs while threatening a second Great Depression. Remember it.
Kevin McCarthy’s debit limit bill sets a negative precedent that will cut funding for programs that hard working Americans rely on. Here are a few programs that will be cut if this bill is passed:
A thread...🧵
Carroll appeared to fight back tears, successfully, multiple times before this moment. Those times, her voice quaked audibly, before she regained her composure.
But this seems to be the first time she cried — notably, at an affirmation of her decision to step forward. 🔽
