Ted Cruz wants it. He asked for it and they tried to give it to him. Simple as that.


Looks like the museum they want to transfer it to charges $30 admission. So Republicans want to spend $85 mn to give the shuttle to a museum in Texas that will charge admission. Sounds typical of Republican math.



Sounds typical of Republican grift.

the Parlimentarian isn't a democrat. Let's be honest about what is happening...the Senate Parlimentarian is trying to ensure that the bill complies bith with senate rules and the law.


Democrats are bringing these challenges. Non-partisan Parliamentarian is ruling on those challenges. Democrats are winning on many of them. Republicans have said they will abide by parliamentarian in order to preserve filibuster.

They are also going to make if even more difficult to ret justice if you are wronged by the government.

There is no market for slightly used USPS trucks. This is so stupid and performative, and it saves almost nothing.

Worse. It costs millions because they have to buy or refurbished new gas powered trucks, while auctioning the EVs for pennies on the dollar.

Ironically, this program already exists. It’s called Medicare.

Right? And Medicaid. So they’re going to cut funding to the programs that fuel rural hospitals and then put together a different fund to bail out rural hospitals? What?


Rather than allocate money to patient care, they'll just give money directly to the hospitals and leave out the patient care? Just brilliant.


DP. Well, it is brilliant, if they give hospitals enough $. Are they proposing that?

What is brilliant about the government giving hospitals money to stay open instead of giving people who qualify money for healthcare that they give to the hospitals (and other rural healthcare providers like doctors and clinics) when they need healthcare?
