It's so frustrating to see so many on the left gleefully jump on clear falsehoods like this, spread around video clips that purport to "prove" something or another without any context, and act like the brainless MAGA mob desperate for another fix of outrage. Be Different. Be Informed.

Nobody would’ve voted for him, that’s why. Don’t think in terms of “why didn’t you” but in terms of “please do” - some type of center leaning combo of two people who can speak coherently without the goal of “triggering” people they don’t like… the is the new target

While we all honor and give our thanks to the many many military service men and women who paid the very highest price to protect us we need to keep the fight going in their memory. CALL your senators. (202) 224-3121 🛑 STOP 🛑 this horrible ☠️ DEATH budget ☠️

Fair enough. Now, I know this bill certainly lives up to the “big” part of its name, so, um, has anyone actually read the whole 1100 pages? And if so, what noteworthy items are actually in the bill? Seems like a big part of their strategy is simply making the truth impossible to find.

Adam-- we need a SLOGAN. A short, sweet SLOGAN. Multi-Purpose.. Like YES WE CAN. even Without Talent, I can propose: FIX IT! We want to.. Fix it! We will... Fix it! Complaints about (Immigration, Education, Civil Rights, et al..) We will...... FIX IT! I want to.... FIX IT!!

Is that clear? I read that as Make it $$$? Something shorter? More flexible? Everyone (everyone!) feels things are going the wrong way. or Broken. Pick their own Flavor. Every one has a Gripe a Cause. We need to agree.

Is this really the kind of America that most sociopathic, immoral Saltines want to live in? Don't you all realize that many things you like to do will disappear, or be severely restricted if Le Donald is allowed to have a free hand in this country?

I disagree with you. I'm not sure what you think is "made up" but points in that bill have been circulated. This boils down to essentially giving people who are not politically savvy an idea of what may be in store.

Circulated does not mean the same thing as true. Someone please point me to exactly the pages of this bill that reference any of this. I want page numbers of the bill, not some editorial. None of this is possible on a budget reconciliation bill. Unlike MAGA we don't have to make shit up. Just stop.

Bruce Springsteen est belle et bien le boss et le restera. Heureusement qu’il y’a encore se genre de personnalités engagées et qui osent dire les choses réels qui se passent dans son pays malgré qu’il pourrait déclencher la fureur d’Adolphe Trump,petit dictateur en phase d’apprentissage. Soutien

It’s like Paul Ryan being surprised that one of his go to work out bands, like Rage Against the Machine, weren’t huge fans of the GOP. He said he really liked some of their songs, and Tom Morello asked which ones, so he could review them to make sure he wasn’t sending mixed messages. 🤣

Someone needs to draft a new Constitution. One that taxes the rich and provides for the poor. One that punishes liars, takes money out of politics and no longer considers corporations as people. The past few months has shown us where our Constitution is weak. Time to strengthen it for the people.

That would require a Constitutional Convention, which the far right has been advocating for decades. They want to re-write it according to fascist, white-supremacist ideology, and have been preparing to do so, but cannot get enough states to approve the idea. Yet.

Basically none of that would be possible to pass via a budget reconciliation bill. Which is the only kind of bill the Republicans can pass because they don't hold enough seats to pass anything else. We have got to stop trying to propagandize ourselves.

True to an extent. Non-budgetary items are restricted by the Senate's Byrd rule, but the Presiding Officer of the Senate can override the Senate Parliamentarian's recommendation to remove such items. It's very uncommon to do so. Sadly, that has already happened in another issue, so no guarantees.

Are the senate going to approve this bill If so. Don’t expect any foreign visitors or help from foreign countries IF WAR IS TO BREAK OUT YOUR COUNTRY IS NOW DEEMED ANOTHER NORTH KOREA IN THE MAKING. IF THIS BILL IS PASSED PROJECT 25 in the making

That’s like telling the police when you get pulled over because they suspect you might be driving while intoxicated &you respond “I’m not driving” & police respond “Well, it appears that you are driving” & the young man responds, somewhat defiant, “I’m not driving, I’m traveling..” TRUE MAGA STORY🙄

None of the things on the list are related to the budget. The GOP is trying to pass a reconciliation bill, where everything in it must be budget related, in order for a simple majority to pass it. I’m pretty sure these things are not in the bill.

The person falsely credited with the statement literally just said it wasn’t. Don’t fall for propaganda. The propaganda producers (Russia and China) target the left just like they target the right. Be alert and check your sources.

Please actually look at the bill before claiming what's true and what's false. I've seen numerous reports on it, not just memes. Maybe it's too much to admit that your former colleagues are trying to sneak this shit through?

Right? He’ll do that shit whether it’s in the bill or not. CBP asking those entering the country via air travel what their political ideologies are?

It seems we have a case of "alternative facts" unfolding before our eyes. Are we witnessing a cleverly crafted disinformation campaign or simply a case of miscommunication? Either way, it's a great reminder that in the age of AI, fact-checking is more crucial than ever.

It’s not completely false. You need to read the bill. It’s over 1000 pages, which is why it’s ridiculous that it’s already been put up for vote🤦‍♀️ we should all have the right and responsibility to read it

How is it the Democrats who have been screaming fake news to Republicans for all these years are now falling for fake fucking news. I thought we were smarter than that. I guess I was wrong.

It is not entirely false in what the men says. Changes are being made that will hinder the judicial branch from holding the executive branch accountable. And at this point telling Dem’s they are overreacting is bull$hit since everything we were worried about has come true.

God, I hope it doesn’t get past. We have to call our congressman and the courts and tell them to stop this bill. Our entire government will collapse if this bill gets passed.

He can ignore SCOTUS for a year or more. He shouldn't be able to ignore SCOTUS at all.......but he has, and nothing has happened. He doesn't need any of this in a bill, because he has the same power as Putin now. Does Putin need approval for anything?

1/2 This article is mostly accurate but I think it overstates the effect the contempt enforcement limitation may have in the future. It is definitely problematic for current and previous court cases, though, possibly allowing gov't to proceed with immigrant exile with impunity.

2/2 Note that the contempt enforcement limitation is based on a rule that has been around for some time, but apparently not adhered to with regularity. Courts need to simply follow that rule & can set the security (bond) amount arbitrarily low. It's possible current cases can be amended to comply.

I have, though not fully. The parts concerning contempt enforcement and AI funding & regulation I've practically memorized, having posted often about those issues. Again, please site language in the bill that supports all the meme's claims. I'm more than willing to learn what others may have found.

Thank you 4 clarifying this meme is not from U or Liz, however there is language in the BUDGET Bill which let's tRump delay or cancel elections legally, ignore SC rulings, Judges cannot enforce their own orders, protesters can be tracked & criminalized. tRump is doing all of it now illegally.

I followed the “Liz Cheney/Adam Kinziger” group on Facebook for a while until I discovered it is NOT, in fact, run by them. Just simebody using their name. I saw several posts that were either false or falsely attributed to influential people, like this one. Not a trustworthy site.

Thank you for calling this out. When I first saw it I was pretty sure you two had nothing to do with it. It made me realize that people don't even need sophisticated "deep-fake" technology to impersonate and basically liable famous people like you.
