Can't reblog my OG post again so quoting it instead:

Apologies for tag spam once again.

Lisa Kailai Han and Yun Li highlight growing anxiety over a new U.S. budget bill that could worsen the deficit by trillions. Stock markets showed slight declines amid rising Treasury yields and inflation concerns. While some companies thrived, uncertainty looms over Treasuries and consumer loans. As the bill heads to the Senate, the pressure mounts for rapid approval.

A message you can send to your Congress folk to oppose the awful budget, and a provision now included to BLOCK states from regulating AI for 10 years. Yes, they're trying to keep states from regulating AI as part of the NATIONAL BUDGET. What the heck?

This message should go to your Senators regarding the budget #ContinuingResolution. You will need to copy and paste it into the forms on their websites.

The House passed a stop-gap bill Tuesday to fund the government through September and the Senate must vote on it. The House has gone into recess to force the Senate to accept the bill with no changes.

Dear Senator --

For months Republicans have talked about how they were going to fund their legislative priorities, but here we are again, facing another Continuing Resolution.

In your negotiations in the Senate, constantly remind everyone that the Constitution Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 gives the power of the purse to Congress, not the President. The President has no legitimate authority for meddling in the appropriations process.

The Continuing Resolution must include language forbidding the Executive Branch and DOGE from usurping budgetary power from Congress.

Stand firm in your efforts.

Does anyone know exactly HOW Medicare and Medicaid will be gutted by the House’s version of the budget? I’m guessing that whatever is ultimately passed will activate NH’s trigger law, but still want to have an idea beyond “I’m fucked” #uspol #usbudget #medicaid #medicare #FuckTrump #fuckmusk #resist

@w7voa
So, 3/4th of the Senate and House pass the #USBudget bill... A bipartisan supermajority.

Yet somehow, everyone frames this around the disgruntled far right minorities' hissy fit. No wonder people think democracy doesn't function - even when there's clear evidence that it can.

I guess Repubs didn't get the memo that most of the money is going to US arms makers directly.
