Just a deep, dark cesspool of corruption like we’ve never seen before in US history at every single agency and level of government. Republicans in Congress continue to ignore all of it and if people still care about having a Republic they will vote them out as soon as they can.

Another $20 billion. That is the face you make when you heist the US taxpayers for $40 billion two weeks before your midterm elections from the most corrupt America Last regime in history.

Yes. This has been making the social media rounds.
The thing is, this is so spot on it NEEDS to be making the rounds.

Let them clutch fucking pearls all they want.

Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to Medicaid and plan to let vital ACA subsidies expire.

Millions on Medicaid will lose coverage. Millions on ACA plans could see premiums rise by 114% per latest estimates.

Every lie told about the shutdown is meant to cover this up.

Calling for gas chambers. Expressing love for Hitler. Endorsing rape. Using racist slurs.

I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

First, Republicans passed the largest health care cut in history, gutting Medicaid and putting hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes across states at risk of closure.

Then, they shut down the government rather than work with Democrats to fix it.

Every day of the Trump Shutdown is hurting families.

Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as “epic.”

Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”

Remigration was Germany’s non-word in 2023.

While it means to migrate back, it has become a far-right euphemism of forced repatriation. When the far right uses the term, it’s an overtly racist call for forceful mass deportation of non-white immigrants.

In case anyone was wondering about the U.S…
