Democrats just flipped Nebraska's biggest city! Democrat John Ewing unseated the Nazi incumbent in today’s election to lead Omaha, a victory that ends the Nazi Party 12-year hold on Nebraska's largest city.

Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor and overcame a large fundraising disadvantage

It’s another HUGE pickup for Democrats—and another sign that the political environment is grim for the Nazi Party

OHIO is run by the Nazi Party and is full of cockroaches like these👇

A trio of appeals court judges upheld the convictions of former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and ex-Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges. Both were found guilty for accepting millions of dollars in BRIBES from FirstEnergy to pass power plant bailouts. #ohio #corrupt #Corruption #criminal #crime #bribe #uspol #uspolitics #news #politics #gop #republicans #ohpol #ohpolitics

Values-based voter, clearly:

"After years of voting Democrat, Philadelphia voter Sharita White decided she would cast her ballot for Donald Trump. Eight months later she says she has nothing to show for it."

Also: 96% of #MAGA still worship Trump and approve of him. Not a cult. Nope.

And: Voters are leaving the #Republicans and Trump in droves...but don't like the #Democrats any better.

"The only place where Republicans can find this kind of money is in earned benefits and medical care. So they sent their budget to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees Medicare and Medicaid, to find hundreds of billions in cuts.

Yesterday, the GOP announced where these cuts would come from. And to no one’s surprise, the big target is Medicaid, which provides health benefits for the poorest Americans."

"But if they do renew them, as they almost certainly will, it will blow a massive hole in the budget, requiring a hefty debt ceiling raise.

That has angered fiscal hawks on the GOP right, who have demanded $2 trillion in spending cuts to help offset the deficit. That number has come down by around half recently, but it still means deep cuts to government programs."

Why are Republicans pushing to cut Medicaid while lying about what they're doing? Jay Kuo explains:

"Republicans have known for some time that they have a problem. The Trump tax cuts for the wealthy, passed in 2017, are set to expire at the end of this year. If they don’t renew them, they will have to answer to their big donors."

'Under Cover of Night,' #GOP Unveils Plan to Kick Over 8 Million Off Medicaid

"This bill confirms what we've been saying all along: #Trump and #Republicans have been lying when they claim they aren't going to cut #Medicaid and take away people's #healthcare."

"House Republicans late Sunday unveiled legislation that analysts said would rip Medicaid coverage from millions of low-income Americans—including children and people with disabilities—to help fund #TaxBreaks that would disproportionately benefit the #wealthy."

"I think there are two basic trends in GOP politics which lead to Trump: right-wing media and white supremacy. …

The fundamental core of Trump’s presidency—the belief that white supremacy and democracy are incompatible, and that white people therefore need to jettison democracy—is the longstanding core belief of the post Civil Rights GOP."

Everything Is Horrible · Trump Is (One) Logical Endpoint of the GOPBy Noah Berlatsky

WOW! " U.S. Senator #ChrisMurphy DESTROYED House #Republicans for being cowards, lacking the kahunas to protect their oath! He shone a MASSIVE spotlight on their hypocrisy—turning a blind eye to our civil liberties while waiting to kiss the ring of a dictator keen on burning the #Constitution!

In a recent hearing with Secretary Kristi Noem, he condemned the #Trump admin's budget for blatantly disregarding Congressional appropriations and #immigrant rights.
