“The Senate Budget resolution sets up the toxic combo of

Tax cuts tilted to the wealthy
🚨+Cuts to programs helping people afford food and health care
+Massive, regressive tariffs
=Transfer of wealth from low- and middle-income families to the wealthy”
-B Duke

The majority of Americans are harmed by this draconian budget. The resolution now goes to the House.

A quotation from Lincoln

We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not vanish from this earth.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1863-11-19), “Dedication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg [Gettysburg Address],” Pennsylvania

On the Senate's draconian :

Johnson: isn’t so sure it'll get thru the House next week but perhaps the week after. Whenever: HSE passes its RES, the 2 need to be melded together -lots of complications here.

If you are a HSE R from a nominally red dist., is it worth it for you to vote for the House GOP l'ship’s budget RES? Includes instructions for the HSE EGY/COM CMTE to find $880B in cuts -undoubtedly incl. & soc-safety net cuts.

From Heather Cox Richardson's Feb. 12 essay:
Republicans' #budget #resolution would cut $2 #trillion from the mandatory spending category including Social Security and Medicare. #Republican lawmakers reportedly said GOP wants to #cut #foodaid for more than 40 million low-income Americans and House #Agriculture Committee seeks to cut $150 #billion from supplemental nutrition. Proposed $4.5 trillion in #taxcuts for wealthy and corporations and a rise of $4 trillion in the debt ceiling.

"Constant tutelage of our acting and thinking has made us weak and irresponsible; hence, the continued cry for the strong man who is to put an end to our distress. This call for a dictator is not a sign of strength, but a proof of inner lack of assurance and of weakness, even though those who utter it earnestly try to give themselves the appearance of resolution."

— Rudolf Rocker

Gott steh und bei - war aber zu erwarten 😱

Zitat:
07.22 Uhr: Der republikanische Kongress-Abgeordnete Andy Ogles hat eine Resolution eingebracht, um die Verfassung derart zu ändern, dass US-Präsidenten für eine dritte Amtszeit gewählt werden können.
... arbeiten die Republikaner nun daran, dem 78-Jährigen längere Macht zu verschaffen. Brisant: Theoretisch könnte dann 2028 auch Barack Obama gegen Trump antreten.

It feels good to shrug off toxic people. I need to do this more often. “If I can’t change the people around me, I change the people around me.”

I have a tendency to put up with a lot of b.s. because I’m pretty easy going, and always want to help people but. Nah. Some folks are just not nice and take advantage. I’m done. It’s 2025! I can’t change US politics, but it’s time to get rid of some toxic people in my life. I’m making a list…That’s the #resolution. 🎤🥳

I designed and #3Dprinted a small box for a 6.3 mm jack socket for my headphones. It is firmly attached to the underside of my bench using two screws that were already there. One #resolution for 2025 is trying to avoid unnecessary friction in everyday life and this will avoid to have to run the cable on the top of the already rather crowded desk 😎
