5. In their bill, Republicans passed steep cuts to food assistance, Medicaid, and put Medicare at risk. For me, that’s a moral line. It makes no sense in this time of incredible struggle when families are having such a hard time making ends meet to go after food assistance and Medicaid. https://x.com/repbeccab/status/1925557571294834690?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

6. The GOP just rammed through a budget that starves kids, abandons seniors, and guts Medicaid—all to bankroll billionaires. It’s a moral disgrace.Democrats fought like hell for 30 hours to stop it. Now it heads to the Senate. We need to rise up, unify, & have their backs.This is a war on humanity. https://x.com/thejenniwren/status/1925515445731229775?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

7. Tell me your values and I’ll ask you to show me your budget. Show me your budget and I’ll tell you what you value.From Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires that increases the deficit by $3.8 TRILLION, to his FY26 Budget that slashes Social Security, health care, child care, public education and more, to tariffs that disproportionately increase costs for the middle class, the GOP’s values support billionaires and hurt working Americans.Don't let them fool you with lies. Their actions speak for themselves. https://x.com/repdangoldman/status/1925580496374825334?s=46&t=Y_eU8-UkiXMiSZk9BBGRdg

8. The Republicans advanced their so-called “big, beautiful” bill — one that strips healthcare from nearly 14 million Americans. We stayed up all night fighting back. Now it’s headed to the Senate. Make your voice heard: call Republican senators and tell them to vote NO. https://x.com/rephorsford/status/1925513304664862918?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

11. Johnson: Today wouldn't be possible without the leadership of arguably the most powerful and most successful and most respected president in the modern era of United States. Democrats: *laughing* https://x.com/acyn/status/1925497216980209725?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

12. Smith: The Democratic Leader is mistaken. We aren’t currently in the dead of night. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925496449145741504?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

13. Jeffries: We will stand up today, stand up tomorrow, stand up this week, stand up next week, stand up this month, stand up next month, stand up this year, stand up next year, stand up at all times until we end this national nightmare and restore the American dream for every single person in this great land from sea to shining sea. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925495667323212045?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

14. Speaker Pro Tempore: It is important for the decorum of the institution for you to do the same.Jeffries: Every time I'm interrupted, it's going to add another 15 minutes to my remarks https://x.com/acyn/status/1925491151743918210?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

15. Speaker Pro Tempore: You are to direct your comments to the chair. Jeffries: You know what's interesting? Every time I come on this floor, I can use sharp language, he can use sharp language, you choose to admonish me. I don't work for you sir. I work for the American people. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925490569499074687?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

16. Jeffries: We know that this presidency has already been a failure. Filled with crisis and chaos, cruelty and corruption. And the American people know it. Which is why Donald Trump at the 100-day mark was the most unpopular president in American history. The American people understand. It's unfolding right before their eyes. No matter what kind of Maga spin you try to put on the situation. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925488511874212298?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

17. We’ve been here all night, as the Republicans have somehow managed to make their reconciliation be even more devastating. Here’s what’s going on and why I am voting hell no. https://x.com/rep_stansbury/status/1925505871771058666?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

18. Scalise: You can vote yes or you can vote no. I wish everybody would vote no. A yes vote gets America's economy moving again, allows President Trump to continue fighting for the hardworking families https://x.com/acyn/status/1925485285053440208?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

19. Pressley: I'm not begging you for benevolence. I'm asking you for decency. Do right by the people that sent you here. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925480321979752753?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

20. Tariff-fuelled inflation is different: It causes prices to rise, but there's no reason to expect wage rises to follow. The result is an enduring cut in your real wages and purchasing power. https://x.com/justinwolfers/status/1925600613674401934?s=46&t=Y_eU8-UkiXMiSZk9BBGRdg

21. Bean: So buckle up, America. And put your seat in the upright position. Because with the passage of this bill, the golden age of America is ready for takeoff. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925477526203506724?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

22. Republicans are taking away the one free method that exists to file your taxes in order to help their corporate overlords who run tax filing companies—and they want you to say thank you https://x.com/meidastouch/status/1925495953026609595?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

23. Smith: We are bringing an end to the unauthorized wasteful and redundant IRS direct file program which contradicts taxpayers' best interests. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925468687102009818?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

24. Clyde on silencers: They're firearms and protected by a law enacted in 1791 called the second amendment. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed and neither shall it be taxed… My Democrat colleagues asked how did it get in the bill and who asked for it… Me. I asked https://x.com/acyn/status/1925463519170027624?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

25. Raskin: It's telling Mr. Trump and his cult followers chose to name its bill on its size and looks instead of its contents and values. There's nothing beautiful or big about stripping 14 million Americans of their health care or removing food security from four million kids. That's ugly. That's small. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925458235110432838?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

26. Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants https://x.com/acyn/status/1925454360362066110?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

27. Doggett: Breaking yet another promise. Republicans are cutting medicare by $500 billion. On October 1 of this year, every medicare health care provider will see a 4% cut and that will occur year after year after year as seniors try to find someone who will accept medicare. And on January 1, millions of Americans who rely on the affordable care act lose their access to a family physician.Meanwhile, our national debt soaring by trillions from Republicans who talk fiscal responsibility but serving their cult leader, the deficit hawks have become chicken hawks tonight in submission to trump, the self-described king of debt, all to award billionaires with even more tax breaks https://x.com/acyn/status/1925449218485100871?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

28. Boyle: By my calculation, I have now been up 43 of the last 45 hours and I am not quitting yet. And we're not quitting yet because the stakes are just too damn high… not even during the great depression did so many people lose their health care as will lose it in this bill… it will affect interest rates. In fact, it already is. Mortgage rates have gone back up over 7% and set to rise by more. Not just mortgage rates, auto loan rates, the rate your credit card company charges you… This is class warfare. It makes the poor poorer, the rich richer, and the middle class left behind. And again, these aren't democratic talking points, these aren't coming from Progressive organizations. Last night the nonpartisan congressional budget office released the distribution tables in terms of who will get what from this tax bill. They found the bottom 10% will be 4% poorer in household wealth under this bill. With most of the benefits going to the top 10% of Americans. And of that top 10%, of course, it's the top 1% that will get the most benefit of all, robbing the poor to reward the rich. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925448521983111609?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

29. Fine: Rome is burning McGovern: One of the previous Republican speakers got up and said Rome is burning but I hate to tell him but Republicans are in charge and Trump is your Caesar. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925435390330380546?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

30. McGovern: My state of Massachusetts funds states like Indiana where the gentlelady is from. We get back less than we give. And so how dare she or anybody else vote to steal our tax money and give it to billionaires? So no, we will not go quietly, and no, we will not give up. We will fight this cruel, corrupt, immoral bill every step of the way because the people we represent are counting on us. And we will never stop fighting for them. I urge every member of this house to vote hell no, never, absolutely not on this terrible disgrace of a bill https://x.com/acyn/status/1925434878629486889?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

31. Host breaks down Trump's budget bill: "If you're in the top 20%, you're gonna get 3.7% increase in after-tax income from tax cuts. If you're in the bottom, you lose $800. You get a small tax cut and and a large cut in Medicaid and other benefits. This is a highly regressive bill that favors the wealthy, doesn't do much for the middle class, and hurts the poor"https://x.com/factpostnews/status/1925568714822303769?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

32. AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this https://x.com/acyn/status/1925432132266336684?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

33. Casten: The oil and gas sector don't like competition for the same reason you don't like DEI: because mediocre folks are scared about meritocracies. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925430450086191573?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

34. McGovern: The reason why the tax cuts for middle class families might expire is because that's the way you wrote them in the 2017 Republican tax scam bill. You made the corporate tax cuts permanent but those for working people you made expire, so it's your fault. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925427498307002682?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

35. McGovern: Boy, that was weird https://x.com/acyn/status/1925426351278018866?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

36. Massie: I would love to tell the American people we can cut your taxes and increase spending. But I can't do that because I am here to deliver a dose of reality. This bill increases deficits in the near term but promises our government will be fiscally responsible five years. How do you bind the future congresses this is a debt bomb ticking. Congress can do fantasy math. But bond investors don't and This week they sent us a message. Moody downgraded our credit rating. The bond investors who buy our debt demanded higher interest rates on the 10 year note, 20 year note and 30 year note. Very soon the government will be paying $16,000 interest per U.S. Family and what are we telling them? instead of taking care of that problem give you a $1600 tax break. Under the taxing and spending levels we are going to wrack up $20 trillion of new debt. It is closer to $30 trillion in the next 10 years. Massie: We are not rearranging deck chairs on the titanic, we’re putting coal in the boiler and setting a course for the iceberg. If something is beautiful, you don't do it after midnight. I oppose this bill https://x.com/acyn/status/1925424802405511391?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

37. Alford: I urge a yes vote. McGovern: They are so proud of this bill because they are doing it at 125 in the morning. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925422934681899011?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

38. McGovern: Some people are wondering why are we debating this bill at 120AM which is prime time in Guam because they are ashamed of what they are bringing to this floor. They should be https://x.com/acyn/status/1925422269117211002?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

39. Foxx: We’re interested in delivering… fiscal certainty for our future. McGovern: You know what gives people fiscal certainty? Food in their refrigerators https://x.com/acyn/status/1925421322634731641?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

40. "This is the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history."https://x.com/justinwolfers/status/1925579609153605966?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

41. McGovern: Democrats are united. And with strength in our mission and unity in our purpose, we're here to vote hell no on this monstrosity of a bill https://x.com/acyn/status/1925420341108908261?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

42. Houchin: The bill requires states to have skin in the game… Hayes: I would argue my state of Connecticut that sends more money to the federal government than Indiana already has skin in the game. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925419525702558075?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

43. McGovern: Hunger is a political condition. We have the money and we have the infrastructure and know what to do to end it and you bring to the floor a bill that robs from poor people, takes money away from the most incredible food assistance program in the world and take that and use it not to end hunger but to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires and that is shameful. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925413468339150992?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

44. Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have nothing to say. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes https://x.com/acyn/status/1925412415958851743?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

45. Houchin: The bill requires states to have skin in the game… These are good things. it protects the American people from a Democrat party that prioritizes illegal immigrants over vulnerable American families.McGovern: Enough with the BS, this is about throwing families off of food assistance https://x.com/acyn/status/1925411954858107300?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

46. McGovern: We live in the richest country on Earth and not a single kid in this country should go to bed hungry, not a single damn one and especially when Republicans are giving millionaires and billionaires a big fat tax break. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925410896144388570?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

47. McGovern: Let me say this again: Democrats will not stand by and watch Trump and his billionaire friends destroy this country without putting up one hell of a fight.*cheers* https://x.com/acyn/status/1925410224195944561?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

48. Houchin: The committee on the budget filed its report on which included the following statement from each instructed committee's reports. The committee print does not contain any congressional earmarks McGovern: I can't believe the Republican argument is just trust us https://x.com/acyn/status/1925406697268682938?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

49. McGovern: What about the earmarks in here that will allow certain companies to exploit and pollute pristine public lands, including for a coal mine owner with criminal convictions for environmental and safety violations? Did he just text Republicans the language of that earmark? Or did they draft it themselves? That's on page 559. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925406144195174916?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

50. Trump promised not to touch Medicare. 24 hours and half a trillion dollars later, Republicans passed a bill that will slash Medicare. There's no line they won't cross. https://x.com/whipkclark/status/1925567951375073685?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

51. BREAKING: In just one minute, Democrat Chris Pappas laid out Republicans' entire late-night budget scheme. This is incredible. https://x.com/democraticwins/status/1925431074286367055?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

52. Frost: And so America, we got to be very clear and truthful about this budget. Laws for gun manufacturers to make more money off of death, yes. Food for children to eat, no. Health care for seniors, disabled Americans and millions more, no. Resources to help working families, no. This is why they've been told not to host any town halls in their districts and why this debate is happening in the middle of the night. It’s nothing short of theft. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925404683323285880?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

53. Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but in the US congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925402637471818049?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

54. Frost: Which Republican just couldn't stand to vote for the horrible bill until it promised even more death to people? And I will yield to hear a name. Griffith: This is supposed to be a challenge because the rule says that we waived earmarks… He is out of order.Frost: I will yield just to hear the name https://x.com/acyn/status/1925402008728817668?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

55. Frost: My generation already expects that we'll never be able to afford a home, to get out of debt, to retire, to live comfortably. And, no, it's not because we've lived beyond our means. But it's because we've been denied the means to live. Trump and Republicans are making it worse https://x.com/acyn/status/1925401100775219641?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

56. McGovern: Democrats are making a series of procedural motions today to stop the consideration of this lousy, awful, disastrous bill… we will not stand by and watch Trump and his billionaire friends destroy this country without putting up one hell of a fight. And because this resolution waives the earmark rule, it is not in order for it to be considered on the floor. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925399795105169774?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

57. To justify their huge Medicaid cuts, Republicans really want you to believe that beneficiaries are:
Able-bodied Young men Playing video games In their mom's basement With no job https://x.com/moreperfectus/status/1925334717928235167?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

58. The Army Corps couldn't explain why the Trump Admin refuses to fund lifesaving flood control projects in blue states. It's pure political retribution https://x.com/repmikelevin/status/1925302925972148588?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

59. Neguse: This provision clearly states you no longer have to register silencers with the ATF. Is that incorrect? https://x.com/acyn/status/1925374111594987864?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

60. McGovern: What is in this bill does more to support assassins than it does American families https://x.com/acyn/status/1925372755777823013?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

61. Scott: It’s actually not a silencer. It’s a suppressor.Scanlon: If you look at your manager’s amendment, it says the section is amended by striking any silencer https://x.com/acyn/status/1925372286003290562?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

62. McGovern: The SNAP cuts contained in this bill threaten access to school meals because if kids get kicked off of SNAP and they are no longer directly certified to receive school meals. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925365670902133164?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

63. Neguse: I don't know that Mr. Norman has ever voted to waive the income tax 3/5 vote requirement in this house. I know Mr. Roy has not done that which I suspect is why he’s not here because he did not want to be on record on that particular vote and I understand why https://x.com/acyn/status/1925364903290052771?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

64. Neguse: If you did not intend to increase income taxes then you would not have needed to include a waiver of that rule. House rules are very clear that any income tax increase requires 3/5 support of the full house. If you want to increase income taxes, you have to get 3/5 of the house to support it. You all decided you do not want that rule to apply to this bill. The only reason why you would do so is because you know your bill does in fact increase income taxes. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925364265197912196?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

65. It wasn't enough to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP—Republicans just voted to authorize themselves to RAISE YOUR TAXES without the required 3/5ths vote. Their 60 page, last minute amendment says it plain and simple.They are getting ready to raise taxes on low income working families. https://x.com/repteresalf/status/1925364032682270816?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

66. They’re getting closer and closer to their dream of a national abortion ban. Late tonight, Republicans changed their budget bill again—this time to stop ACA insurance plans from covering abortion care.

71. This GOP tax scam doesn’t pay for itself—it adds $5 trillion to the national debt.Where are the deficit hawks?The CBO says it raises incomes for the top 10%—and lowers them for the bottom 10%.They do this by cutting Medicaid, SNAP, and school meals.

72. MSNBC perfectly sums up Trump's bill. This is a highly regressive bill that favors the wealthy, hurts the middle class and explodes the deficit."If you're in the top 20%, you're gonna get 3.7% increase in after tax income from tax cuts. If you're in the bottom, you lose $800. You get a small tax cut and and a large cut in Medicaid and other benefits."https://x.com/ronxyz00/status/1925536644968349797?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

79. McGovern: House rules require a super majority vote for any bill that increases income taxes. Guess what? Republicans are turning that rule off. Why did they have to do that? Because they know this bill will increase taxes on those families struggling the most to put food on the table. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925357261654040670?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

80. McGovern: We are not going to get a CBO report on the changes before we vote. It makes huge changes to key portions of the bill. How in the world are members supposed to understand what they are about to vote on?

81. Foxx: The words I've heard today are: cut, rip, gut, kill, cruel, stealing food, losing coverage, jam through, biggest transfer of wealth from vulnerable to wealthy people, irresponsible. That is not the way we ought to be talking about this bill. https://x.com/acyn/status/1925351295164325954?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

85. Bynum: I want to start off by saying just how laughable it is to be calling this bill “beautiful” and I would like to replace that word with “trash.” It is a trash bill and here is why. It is a bill that threatens $300 billion in cuts to food assistance, it is a bill that puts health care further out of reach for nearly 14 million people. It is a bill that will make it so families have to choose between putting food on the table or filling a prescription. It is a bill that does nothing to lower costs or address the housing crisis https://x.com/acyn/status/1925342518239273021?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

Your assertion that Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” uses “fraud, waste, and abuse” as a guise to gut support for the poor is spot-on, reflecting a cynical manipulation of a principle long upheld by the military to streamline operations (Wikipedia, undated). The CBO’s projection that up to 13.7 million could lose health insurance by 2034, primarily due to work requirements and eligibility barriers, underscores a policy that disproportionately harms working-class Americans, not just inefficiencies (DefiyantlyFree, May 20). This isn’t about protecting resources; it’s about reallocating them to fund tax breaks for the wealthy, like Jeff Bezos, while the U.S. faces a 0.3% GDP contraction and 45% recession risk, amplifying economic despair (PeteButtigieg, May 20; Reuters, Mar 31). The decline in international arrivals, driven by anti-American sentiment and Trump’s policies, mirrors this domestic betrayal, as both signal a leadership prioritizing corporate gain over citizen well-being (Euronews, Apr 22). Trump’s rhetoric masks a cruel reality: the poor are the target, not the protectors, of this so-called efficiency drive. https://x.com/diezelchrist/status/1924934923091100087?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg,

That is why he is posting about the stock market and saying this is Biden stock market, when he took responsibility for it on January 29th, and he said oh, this is my stock market. Now he doesn't want it anymore. https://x.com/acyn/status/1917703684273889527?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
10. Just knowing how many 75 year old white guys there are out there watching this on Fox yelling at screaming at Jessica on TV makes these moments that much better. https://x.com/ronfilipkowski/status/1917711248466104631?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

1. Trump has absolutely no clue what the Declaration of Independence is or what it says. https://x.com/ronfilipkowski/status/1917903311748923612?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
2. Beshear holding his own on Fox https://x.com/acyn/status/1917660823989936416?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
3. Beshear: This idea that we can reshore immediately when factories take three to five years to build.MacCallum: Why not try and begin the process?Beshear: Our projects are being paused and stalled because even when you are building that new factory, you do have to import certain goods https://x.com/acyn/status/1917659172927336566?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
4. MacCallum: Do you think it makes sense that there aren't any American cars driving around in Japan Beshear: I think that there are always nuances to trade policy that we can and should work on but I think it's more complicated than the example you gave because the largest Toyota plant in the entire world is in Georgetown, Kentucky. 11,000 plus employees, all-Americans all earning a great living creating a car that used to have the most American parts in the country https://x.com/acyn/status/1917658204470927710?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
5. Kamala Harris: And folks, what we are experiencing right now is exactly what they envision for America. Right now we are living in their vision for America. But this is not a vision that Americans want https://x.com/acyn/status/1917790593444704469?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
6. Kamala Harris: I have been inspired by the movements like the one in Wisconsin that put Susan Crawford on the supreme court and by leaders across the spectrum. Including congressional leaders like Cory Booker, Chris Van Hollen, Chris Murphy, Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, AOC and Bernie Sanders https://x.com/acyn/status/1917789176885563751?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
7. Kamala Harris: The American people deserve leaders who make their lives better, and make our country stronger. But sadly, we have seen quite the opposite over these past few months. https://x.com/acyn/status/1917786735964217547?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
8. Kamala Harris: So look, some people are describing what's been happening in recent months as absolute chaos. And of course I understand why. And it's certainly true of those tariffs. Tariffs that, as I predicted, are clearly inviting a recession. https://x.com/acyn/status/1917783430886220070?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
9. Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them. https://x.com/acyn/status/1917782660530987021?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
10. Watch this brutal recap of Mike Lawler's disastrous town hall:"Constituents pressed @lawler4ny... many of Lawler's answers were interrupted with boos and jeering from the crowd.”https://x.com/addisondick0/status/1916890130196955334?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
11. Meiselas: People are concerned about potential market manipulation.. Is that something you’re looking into?AG James: We do police Wall Street, and all I can say is that we’ve been reviewing a lot of this conduct to determine whether or not it’s actionable. https://x.com/acyn/status/1917655773804650887?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg

1. I’m just gonna leave this here. So MAGA and Trump can see how dumb they sound to everyone else. https://x.com/retroagent12/status/1917756936386404731?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
2. Judiciary Republicans want to spend $1.3 billion on hiring lawyers, $250 million on new cars, and $858 million for bonuses nearly 20x the national average.Since they still claim to be all about cutting waste, I offered to DOGE their budget for them: https://x.com/repmoskowitz/status/1917941194320957442?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
3. Jasmine Crockett & Eric Swalwell begged House Judiciary Republicans to vote NO. They offered the whole damn package. And those soulless traitors STILL voted to let Trump exile American citizens. This isn’t just betrayal—it’s the birth of authoritarian rule. Sound the alarm https://x.com/thejenniwren/status/1917728303340818582?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
4. Goldman: Raise your hand if you do not think children with cancer who are American citizens should be deported…Looks like it’s all the Democrats and none of the Republicans https://x.com/acyn/status/1917793828096073921?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
5. Strange scene in Judiciary as Republicans refuse to debate with Rep. Neguse over an amendment that protects grants for local police departments https://x.com/acyn/status/1917783924924875032?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
6. The GOP voted to allow January 6th rioters serve in Homeland Security roles. https://x.com/housejudiciary/status/1917740615816614252?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
7. Moskowitz: This seems to be very simple. You should want to take it and be clear. Karoline Leavitt couldn’t be. This is your opportunity to clear that up that we’re not going to arrest like Justice Thomas even though he goes on planes and does stuff with Ginny… You know he goes on yacht…. https://x.com/acyn/status/1917739997970719064?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
8. Raskin: Our chairman… How does one go from a libertarian railing about the deep state and the fbi and the doj coming down on the rights of the people to becoming a supine submissive authoritarian who votes against providing basic due process rights for the people against the government? https://x.com/acyn/status/1917724625389379718?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
9. Lieu: The fact that we even have to introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport US citizens is batshit crazy. This should not even be a discussion https://x.com/acyn/status/1917709268708647159?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
10. Goldman: Do you have a thought or belief of your own or is everything literally just whatever Donald Trump tells you it should be? https://x.com/acyn/status/1917707855261753695?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
11. Balint: What happened to that family of American citizens in Oklahoma City should scare the hell out of all of us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up. https://x.com/acyn/status/1917693336519073956?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
[1:33 PM]
1. Kevin Kiley missed every vote on deporting U.S. citizens, veterans, and kids with cancer. When I called him out for missing those votes, he finally showed up, I gave him the mic but he had nothing to say to his constituents. https://x.com/repswalwell/status/1917935815826849923?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
2. You have to see this. The silence is deafening. 9 hours of debate and the GOP has not said ONE WORD to defend their cruel bill that deports U.S. citizen children with cancer. https://x.com/repswalwell/status/1917778790568132878?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
Swalwell: What are we doing here? What in this hearing achieves lowering costs for the American people? Do you know how far you’ve deviated from that goal? This is where you are: today, you will make it easier to deport more American citizen children with cancer. https://x.com/acyn/status/1917258499828113865?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
1. Swalwell: The president deported a four year old American citizen with cancer... People just wanted cheap eggs and now you’re deporting kids with cancer https://x.com/acyn/status/1917684771301515644?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
2. Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter https://x.com/acyn/status/1917677182148829204?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
3. Crockett: If we’re going to talk about numbers and mandates, it is the reason that the only person in modern times to have the lowest approval ratings at their 100 day mark is the same person the first time they were in and now this time https://x.com/acyn/status/1917671737975791621?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
4. Crockett: The national average price of eggs in March was $6.23. A 6% increase from the previous month. A 60% increase year to year… The national average for gas is $3.17.. nowhere near the $1.98 that Trump claimed https://x.com/acyn/status/1917670216634622350?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
5. Casar: There’s a Republican majority today but there could be a Democratic majority in under two years. If we get a chance to have subpoena power and look into this and find out the Musk has used his power to enrich himself, the consequences could be much greater than just having his contracts cut off. https://x.com/acyn/status/1917666305454530647?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
6. Casar on his amendment: We’re talking about ways to save money and here’s an idea: why don’t we say Elon Musk has to follow the law and leave government at the end of his 130 days otherwise… we cancel all of his contracts. That would save us $3 billion a year https://x.com/acyn/status/1917662859192066154?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
7. Lynch: Reclaiming my timeComer: But but—Lynch: You don’t get to just interject Comer: You know what? You’re out of order https://x.com/acyn/status/1917648740573405514?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
[1:33 PM]
1. CONGRESS: Greene: For the American people watching at home, our Democrat colleagues are sitting here trying to score points and spread lies and divisiveness about Republicans in order to spread more garbage… This committee is trying to do serious work https://x.com/acyn/status/1917648021422235865?s=46&t=SBtrQ-AcWQWQmvuMOzLppg
2. Crockett: If you can’t explain to me how this is going to help your constituents, I don’t understand why we are talking about it because we weren’t elected by Donald Trump, JD Vance, or Elon Musk.. we were elected by the people of our districts https://x.com/acyn/status/1917644452589625753?s=46&t=Y_eU8-UkiXMiSZk9BBGRdg
3. Garcia: This committee should be investigating powerful people, not enabling them https://x.com/acyn/status/1917641293112696914?s=46&t=Y_eU8-UkiXMiSZk9BBGRdg
