The GOP passed a budget resolution that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Kinda surprising. Red states (and districts) tend to receive a disproportionate share of those monies/programs. They'll be angering a lot of voters in their home districts. I figured a lot of talk, but not much action on the part of Congress, because he hurts too many of their voters.

Unless they think we're moving to autocracy, and they won't have to worry about that. The thing is...in an autocracy, there is really only one center of power (the dictator). As Tolkien wrote, "there is only one lord of the ring, and he doesn't share power".
