It takes from the poorest and gives to the richest—among other things.

          Dems don’t filibuster, don’t be delusional. This bill included so much funding for Trump’s Gestapo is basically this act. ICE is already a completely unaccountable, militarized force, directly at his command. Now they basically have a blank check.

              Of course, only Republicans exploit a government majority trifecta so skillfully. Democrats just get Chuck Schumer’s stern looks and strongly worded letters, instead.

            I was talking about The Enabling Act.

            The reason almost everything in the MAGA agenda is in this one bill is because it’s the senate-filibuster-proof yearly budget bill. Any other bill the MAGAts try to shove through can be blocked by the dems.

              Ah, misunderstood. You’re right then, as far as it goes. The Democrats could theoretically filibuster any other bills, but I’ll believe it when I see it. So far they’ve demonstrated the spine of a flatworm.
