What chaos did the MAGA Republicans face this weekend?
The MAGA Republicans having a disastrous weekend, as I previously reported. They're canceling all of their town halls because they know that they're going to get asked difficult questions or they're going to get booed, so they're avoiding those. Also, they rolled out what they claim to be a continuing resolution, a CR to keep the government funded.
Is the GOP's continuing resolution truly effective?
But when you actually look at this 99-page document, it's actually not a continuing resolution. It's part of Trump and Musk's plan just to destroy the government. I mean, take a quick look, as Jamie Dupree says, a quick look at the GOP, quote unquote, continuing resolution. There are 22 different instances in the bill where funding for certain programs is set at zero dollars. Just look, for example. For example, for the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Energy, $0, $0, $0 on major pieces of funding, $116 million here, $38 million there. And why this is so deceptive as well is a continuing resolution usually just means you take the existing budget and you continue it because you can't pass your own budget.
The MAGA Republicans have been using continuing resolutions over and over again. Because they're so incompetent, they can't pass a budget. And usually when you talk about CRs, you want it to be clean. So there's not all this other language in there that you have to parse through. Because then if there's other language, you would say pass an actual budget versus a CR, a clean one that just takes the budget and rolls it over. So this is really just a way to kind of be deceptive while gutting. I mean, look, agriculture. This is a way to be deceptive and gut education and all of these things that Americans that Americans rely on. By the way, there's nothing in there about no tax on tips, nothing in there about no tax on Social Security, nothing in there. about no tax on overtime, more lies from the liar in chief, Donald Trump. Then you have the MAGA Republicans going on TV to try to justify all of these things like MAGA Republican Nancy May. She's like, Elon's a genius. We need more cuts.
What are MAGA Republicans saying about Elon Musk's actions?
I'd like to see the whole government get destroyed. This is what Nancy May says. Listen to her say it.
Let's talk about Elon Musk for a minute. His critics are saying that he is usurping powers that should belong to the president or should belong to the Congress. The Congress has the power of the purse. He's the one who's been cutting positions in various government agencies. Where do you come down on that?
I don't think Elon Musk can cut enough. And in fact, I'd like to see him cut more. And I'm so grateful. As a member of Congress, on average, you have 15 to 20 full-time employees. Not all of us. We don't have the time or the ability to find all the waste, fraud, and abuse. And what he's done in a few short weeks with his large team, they have the same clearances, the same qualifications as anybody else taking a look at this information and this data. What he's done is a great service to his country, a great service to every hardworking American to expose some of this so that when we do get in there, when we do take that scalpel and we do start cutting away, that he's been able to find the fat that we got to trim. And I am so grateful every day for what Doge is doing, what Elon Musk is doing in service to his nation.
You know, some people say he's going too far.
I don't think he's going far enough, quite frankly. There is certainly enormous waste, fraud, abuse across every agency across the federal government.
How are MAGA Republicans justifying Trump’s decisions on Ukraine?
And you've got MAGA Republican Brian Fitzpatrick claims that Trump cutting off intelligence sharing with Ukraine is actually part of the art of the deal. It's escalate to de-escalate. Help Russia, but then that helps reach a peace deal. The hell is he even talking about? Play this clip.
Let's talk about Elon Musk for a minute. His critics are saying that he is usurping powers that should belong to the president or should belong to the Congress. The Congress has the power of the purse. He's the one who's been cutting positions in various government agencies. Where do you come down on that?
