6/ Here's another one. Trump snuck $40 million in this bill for a "statue garden". Likely will be filled with MAGA "heroes", reportedly maybe somewhere in South Dakota. Plenty of money for Trump statue gardens, but not enough money to keep feeding hungry kids.
What do you wanna bet Trump will be one of the statues
Or all of the statues.
He wanted to be on Mt Rushmore. This is his version.
7/ Found another one: there’s $100 million in the bill for OMB to find “budget and accounting efficiencies in the executive branch”. What? What does that mean? There's no explanation. It's just a slush fund for MAGA chieftain Russ Vought. $100 MILLION. That's not small money!!!
Good to know that your priorities in dealing with the current Executive is policy debate.
I'll do it for $1M. Just propose an amendment that'll create a 99% savings for the federal government by outsourcing to a 100% American small business.
VOUGHT HAS NOT PAID APPROPRIATED FUNDS NOW, what in the hell do you think he plans to do with more money to spend? When are you all going get this? uncertain strategy already being used to derail the Inflation Reduction Act. www.desmog.com/2025/05/30/e...
And because he took down the website both Senate and the House created this tracker👇🏼 Tracker for Appropriations 👇🏼 democrats-appropriations.house.gov/100-days-tru...
thank you for sharing this!!!!
Most welcome 🇺🇸

In short, the Fascists understand that our government just prints dollars. The Dems pretend that some tax payer somewhere owns our dollar printing machine.
Republicans impose rules on Democrats that they themselves disregard.
And the Dems fully embrace the myth that money comes from tax payers. While the Fascists fully embrace the fact that the dollars in their pockets come from government spending
Stop Trump's golf trips and make SS stay in non-Trump properties. There, I saved millions. Pay me 50 bucks.

The Democrats need to replace Schumer with you! Please Senator Chris Murphy we need you!
Um that could go towards Healthcare and SNAP
Christian cunt Amerikkka

These people are such criminals and filled with so much greed and corruption. You can’t even keep up with the amount of horrors they’re committing.
The Democrats should be shouting this stuff from the rooftops.
This is not on Trump anymore. The Republicans have sold out their constituents for what? Power? Kickbacks? 3 pieces of silver?
3 boxes of used copy paper and 5 cases of Coors Banquet
Anymore? He’s only ever been an opportunistic shitbag who inserted and semi coopted someone else’s movement. They just rolled with it, because if was popular with the masses and easily manipulated into enacted their bullshit, i.e. bribed.
If republicans actually gave a shit they would have convicted him in one of his impeachment trials. They didn’t, because they were either in on it beforehand, or didn’t care because they could profit off it. So, again, trump was never responsible. He’s just the puppet enacting someone else’s plan.
Senator - I sincerely hope that you remember this day the next time you are tempted to use words like “bipartisan” and “common ground.” I will personally never vote for another Dem who talks that BS. Cc: @slotkin.senate.gov
Voters used to demand that legislators were bipartisan. Every poll showed that. But these are not normal times and GOP must be stopped. It takes new thinking. That’s hard for people who remember when it was different.
Dems better learn fast. I WILL NOT vote for anyone who talks about their “friends across the aisle” or claims to “reach across the aisle” to find “common ground.” There is NO COMMON GROUND WITH NAZIS!!! Cc: @slotkin.senate.gov
We should bring in DOGE to cut off those wasteful funds to Mr. Vought!
Our entire budget is a slush fund for them. They’re literally stealing from us and putting it directly into their pockets and the pockets of their donors.

All of trump’s sycophants are finding ways to steal money from the American taxpayer.Each one may have a different way of stealing money from the taxpayers but they all do it. They also use other corrupt practices to make money by being in trump’s regime.
And Rand Paul’s reason for voting “no” on this? Because it doesn’t have enough cuts for poor and middle class programs to pay for the tax cut for the rich! The GOP is perverse, corrupt, cruel, evil, and deadly dangerous to our future! We will make it pay in every election going forward..
SOOO do something. Donate your own money to help people. Stop lacking a spine. Volunteer your time and money to help. Plant trees. Donate to food shelters. I shouldn't be able to do more with less than $20,000 a year than members of CONgress do with their salaries.
You are very ignorant. Chris is a Senator fighting for us. WTF have you done to stop the bill. Then stfu!
I understand you mean him. But What will 10 trees he’d plant do? What will 20 cans of pure sodium and fake food do? There will be very very few people left with means to donate pretty soon. Hyperinflation is coming
It's not just this 1. It's all of them. I shouldn't donate more of my time and money each year when I work for a nonprofit being paid squat than the members of Congress who earn 6+figures.
WTH
Lies and the lying liars. Damn Gillibrand, I wish Franken was still in the Senate.
why not put forth amendments and strip these out?
All the amendments they tried today to strip out some of this crap was voted down by republicans
if it is under the Byrd rule Republicans don't have the votes (it becomes the "standard" 60-40 then)
Amendment after amendment proposed by Democrats has been rejected.
Of course - but make them vote/go on the record
www.cnbc.com/2025/06/30/s... The GOP is ok with more people dying.. & they will.
😲 😡 🙄
I don't want my tax dollars going for any of this.
Trump is lining his OWN pockets with this 100 million dollars in his bill. But WHO will investigate HIM? THIS is why he does it...because he gets away with it. Call him out on it. Maybe it's under the Byrd Rule & be dismissed.
Trump is making up labels to try and sound official. The clue is the word "efficiency"...similar to the label he used for Elon's fake "Department" [DOGE] to 'cut spending' while making money for himself & his 'team'. Trump is making it up to make MORE MONEY FOR HIMSELF.
Dems should call a press conference and yell about this stuff-
and it will maybe air on CSPAN 3 they can't force anyone to cover it. But plenty of time to still talk about how Biden was old
I think it's the tone of the messaging that's always way too thought out-it need to be more emotional, dumbed down and blunt imo
I think if you are really motivated and don’t want to challenge any of your previously held beliefs; it’s very easy to make anything seem how you want
I foresee a taxpayers’ strike in a couple of years
We need to be striking now! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 @generalstrikeus.bsky.social
We’re not there yet. The currently low-info folks need to be feeling the pain. And a lot of what is bad about the bill is delayed till after the midterms and after 2028
I never thought I could hate someone with the visceral passion that I hate Trump. He and his MAGA cult have destroyed so much for no other reason then they could.
there was a document before of who "qualified" to be in the "Statue garden"
Yeah, just like North Korea.
This administration is wasting so much of our tax payers dollars. Total BS!!
🔥
📌
He wants to use the money to put his face on Mt. Rushmore.
He wants a big head in SD. Gross.
He's already arranged the location with gestapo barbie, it's going to be near the 6 grandfathers, aka mount rushmore, so yet another 'f you' to the Lakota & other regional plains cultures that have held that area as sacred for millenia.
If only this wasn't your fucking fault, huh asshole?
Outrageous 🤬 🤬 🤬
So vulgar🤮
Its gonna be confederates.
Some rich guy in the UK built a statue garden of "heroes and villains" Cleverly, none are labelled as such...
Unbelievable!!
Aaaaaak! What the actual F?
LOL😂😂😂😂. Another ridiculous waste of our tax $$$.
Hope to visit with a sledge hammer someday.
Why do you guys keep filing pointless motions to commit instead of substantive amendments? Seems like you’re just giving Republicans more time to make deals with holdouts.
what are you even talking about? You think substantive amendments will get support from Republicans? They are probably working things with the Byrd rule, where they can actually then vote them out
WTF! 🤬
I bet I know which one will be the tallest and have the most central view position...and it won't be George Washington.
The GOP’s Trump bill is “DDD” - Destructive Disastrous Deadly Children will die. Americans will die. Babies and mothers and grandparents will die. And Republicans don’t care.
Time the once "GOP" goes the way of the Whigs and the Bull Moose Party...
I dunno ... I wonder if he wants a statute garden in order to fill it with statutes of himself. That would make more sense.
A statue garden? He thinks he's Mussolini.
Of course! Or Adolf Hitler resurrected... MAGA "party" is fascism American style! USA is now a 21st century version of Germany's Weimar Republic...
That’s $80 for a statue garden & military parade. As someone who worked in state gov’t public health dependent on fed grants, I feel faint at this budget. Everything is so twisted & distorted now. Painful.
Material things over the living...says it all about Trump's character. He is a sadistic sociopath who should never have power or control over anyone.
Gross.
The list of heroes is in the federal register: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
Thank you Jackie...
