They probably decided more people would rather read about a trial than democratic backsliding. When you’re selling news, you have to appeal to the low information majority.
Well, we know that the House Republicans are going to present some bad theater and eventually pass this damned bill that will harm the majority of us in this country. Shame on them all. They should have never considered the horrible piece of legislation in the first place, thought of their constituents instead of the president, and thrown it out and started over. Shame on all of them. They have committed cruelty and hardship. May the 2026 election rid us of the ones that we can.
On a related subject: I'm glued to C-Span at the moment but they don't zoom out to show the chamber. Are the Republicans in the room listening to Jeffries? Anyone know?
“THIS GROWTH has already begun at levels never seen before,” Trump declared on Truth Social after the 1st monthly job loss report in over 2 years.
Repubs are tethered to Trump's lowering incomes for over 80% of workers, putting tens of thousands on unemployment, gutting health care & nutrition programs to bankroll tax breaks for the wealthiest.
Now is the time to ask how our faith and values are calling us to act. Now is the time to email and call the offices of our representatives in Congress as the House moves toward the final vote on the reconciliation bill. This bill would decimate the clean energy tax credits at the heart of our nation's progress in combating climate change. Calls to congressional offices are especially needed in the following districts if you have friends or family members to whom you can forward this email:
• Rep. Bacon – NE-02
• Rep. Bresnahan - PA-08
• Rep. Ciscomani – AZ-06
• Rep. Fitzpatrick – PA-01
• Rep. Garbarino – NY-02
• Rep. Hurd – CO-03
• Rep. Joyce – OH-14
• Rep. Kiggans – VA-02
• Rep. Kim – CA-40
• Rep. LaLota – NY-01
• Rep. Lawler – NY-17
• Rep. Mackenzie - PA-07
• Rep. Malliotakis – NY-11
• Rep. Miller-Meeks – IA-01
• Rep. Newhouse – WA-04
• Rep. Nunn – IA-03
• Rep. Valadeo – CA-22
• Rep. Van Drew – NJ-02
• Rep. Wittman – VA-01
Constituents can call the offices of their representatives using the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. There are multiple reasons a representative might vote against the bill, including the impact on rural healthcare if Medicaid is slashed. Thus, a sample script might be:
My name is ______________, and I’m a constituent from ______________. As a person of faith, I’m morally outraged about the reconciliation bill. Whether it is slashing Medicaid or making cuts to SNAP, there are countless reasons to be upset with this bill. I am personally concerned with clean energy tax credits which have helped people across the country to lower their utility bills. We do not need the chaos and harm that this bill would inflict. I urge Rep. ______________ to vote against this bill.
Why the hell should we care about the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial?! It was the *headline* of the NYT!
