It's no manifesto, it's a list of votes with links to the actual votes. If it's any kind of "manifesto," then it's an evil Republican manifesto promoting billionaire greed and hate and contempt toward everyday Americans. |

Cliff notes: GOP does not care about Americans. Also, 1. that is a cliff notes version with actual links to facts, and 2. Isn’t the reason we’re here because too many Americans can’t stomach any more than cliff notes? Thank you OP! |

Your description is false. The amendment says nothing about Republicans raising housing costs. Just that a budget that passes must lower housing costs. |

No, it's not all that false. Every working class American can see that housing costs are out of control. Trump got elected to help Americans' bottom line and cost of living. Trump promised housing cost relief. But in their budget vote, Republicans are blocking it, they are showing they don't actually care about housing costs. https://www.realtor.com/news/real-estate-news/trump-orders-emergency-price-relief-on-housing-what-does-it-mean/ |

Trump got elected for one reason and one reason only. Not costs or economy.
Just for white male supremacy. That’s it. He and the whole GOP party DO NOT CARE about working class or middle class or even upper middle class. Their only “platform” is to make themselves and their billionaire friends richer. And they are excited to burn the whole country down if that’s what it takes |

Sad that poor rural white males thought that somehow they were going to be part of that club when they voted for him. FAFO. |

| This is absolutely outrageous. Call your senators. Hold them to account. Don't let them try to deny their record. Call on them to change course and do the right thing and SHOW it, on the floor with their votes, or be voted out of office. |

| Yes the GOP, Trump, and Musk are out to protect the billionaires. They DGAF about average people because campaigns don’t fund themselves. |

| It’s shocking that you continue to be surprised, they told you exactly what was going to happen and will find some way to manipulate the results and blame dems. trump owns the media, the military, all of it…. yet sone think calls are going to make a difference. No one is standing up to him. not one soul. And you continue to be surprised. this is what maga wants and they won the election. |

Let's say they have a bill that sends money to Ukraine. This would be in violation of the amendment. as it does nothing to lower housing costs. This is basically Democrats' trolling. Trump is lowering housing costs by deporting illegal immigrants. |

Housing costs will go down because the market will be gutted with houses all the unemployed can no longer afford.
I don't think these two idiots actually understand what they are doing to the US economy l. |
