I want to tell you why I'm voting against the Republican funding bill when it comes up for a vote tomorrow.
You deserve to know the stakes here.
First of all, you get this, Trump has a plan and he's implementing it to destroy our economy and our government, to create a crisis that allows him to
hand our government over to his billionaire friends and to suspend our democracy.
I wish that weren't true, but it is.
The question then is this, does the funding bill make it easier or harder for Trump to implement that plan?
Now, I judge that it makes it easier, and so I can't support it.
The basics here are this.
Republicans are in charge, right?
They need Democratic votes to pass a funding bill.
But they never negotiated with Democrats.
They didn't even try.
They wrote their own partisan bill.
They filled it with all sorts of right-wing shit.
This isn't a continuing resolution.
It doesn't just continue last year's funding, even though the press is reporting it that way.
It makes big changes to law, and they're all changes designed to make it easier for Trump to implement that plan to destroy our country.
For instance, it makes massive cuts to housing programs, to Social Security, to programs for health care, for working families.
That paves the way for Musk to advance his illegal assault.
It gives Trump brand new spending powers.
