Dude, read the room. You'd be better off just not tweeting. YOU VOTED FOR IT. Want to do something decent that shows basic empathy for people who are hurting? #Forcethevote on #MedicareForAll

The Pentagon budget has nothing to do with it. We all know that is your Pet Rock for cuts. What about my money to other countries. Even some of the spend within the United States. If you didn't like it, why did you vote for it?

Democrats passed that defense appropriations bill. It should never have been passed.

Not to mention the $110 bn excise breaks to liquor companies, the $120 bn "double-dip" for corporations, the $2 bn for Space Force - what???- and (trumpet fanfare) the $6+ billion booze break so Senators can drink more. Does this money cover breathalyzers for Senate sessions?

Well, that’s a stretch...just a distraction from the actual awful bill the Dems are trying to enact??
