Posting and pinning #P2025 for easy ref. It’s gated now (seriously wtf), but I put in a fake email address and somehow got access. Take advantage and read it because I took one for the team and filled out the form. There’s literally no reason to be surprised.

As we hit 9AM, here's where we are on the MAGA murder budget:

Over night, the House Freedom Caucus did what it did best and folded in humiliating fashion for vague promises they won't tell us about. After a long delay, the "rule" allowing the start of debate passed with just one GOP no vote.

The MAGA Repukicans are deferring their most painful spending cuts until after the midterm elections to win votes on holdouts. Vote them out for giving Bezos a tax cut!

"A conga line of angsty Republican lawmakers filed through the West Wing on Wednesday, hemming and hawing about Trump's bill. They walked out with signed merchandise and photos in the Oval Office."

ICYMI in MD: The US Dept of Edu, in all its wisdom of letting the states handle edu decisions, are stepping in and withholding $125M in funding to MD ($7B nationwide) that was already approved by Congress and Trump. Why? They didn’t give clear reasoning.

Maryland programs scramble after Trump administration withholds millions for schools

It’s unclear when, and even if, that money will get distributed to organizations that support low-income families in after-school and summer programs they otherwise couldn’t afford.

Maybe this is a sign for Cuomo to take time away from politics to focus on not sexually harassing women. But he won’t. He’ll run still, as an independent. And this was who the establishment Dems wanted. Says all you need to know.

Tbf, it’s an IDF PR account. They don’t understand what international waters means and thinks it’s a war zone. Calls everyone Hamas after trying to call them antisemitic (lol). Thinks peppering curses makes their argument smarter. Can’t do the most basic of primary source gathering. They’re a joke.

LOL Israel admits that’s why peace talks have failed. Literally, they said that. You can’t even look into what the country you’re trying so hard to defend has said, you support a genocide, and you think it’s ok to murder innocents. Pardon me for not being offended by anything a Nazi has to say.✌🏼

falennon @falennon.bsky.social · Jun 10

The IDF propaganda account doesn’t like facts. After trying to goad people into making this about Jewish people and antisemitism, they’d rather double down on being a nazi than admit Israel has lied to them and that Israel has a bad history too.

falennon @falennon.bsky.social · Jun 10

LOL.You think the Nakba wasn’t real, claim now isn’t related to the past, claim Israel gave land back to Gaza when it wasn’t Israel’s to begin with. But Netanyahu has said he wanted Palestinians out 20 yrs ago to claim land. It’s why peace talks always fail. You support genocide. Just own it coward.

It’s Gulf of Mexico. And a “gulf” is not an “ocean”. You’re embarrassing yourself. But keep flapping your gums. You’re providing great evidence for the need to reform our educational system instead of dismantling it.

falennon @falennon.bsky.social · Jun 10

That’s not at all how it works lol. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest.

falennon @falennon.bsky.social · Jun 10

Are you really trying to will away the existence of the Nakba with your revisionist history? “Israel *returned* Gaza”, lol wow.
