RE
The U.S. is slashing #foodassistance, #education, and #Medicare while firing a huge chunk of the government workforce.
Where’s the money going?

That's what Sen. #ChuckGrassley wants to know too

#Grassley Says #DonaldTrump Isn't Following The Law

The Iowa Republican said the president needs to notify Congress
before firing watchdogs in charge of rooting out waste, fraud and
corruption.

Continued thread

Sen #ChuckGrassley (R)criticized the measure, which nonpartisan estimates say could lift 400k #children out of #poverty, because it could help #Biden’s #reelection campaign. He said he would evaluate the bill after the #House vote.

Sen #MittRomney (R),who supported previous #ChildTaxCredit expansions, called the new #legislation “excessive”& said it would turn into “another entitlement program which is massively expensive.”

(#entitlement = #Republican speak for #LowIncomeFamily programs)

Let the bullshit begin! Earlier today, Sen. #ChuckGrassley admitted that there's no #evidence of #wrongdoing by #PresidentBiden, and yet here we are as the sun sets, and the #HouseRepublicans have voted to open an #impeachment inquiry. This is the biggest and most embarrassing #fishingExpedition in modern history. It's going to blow up in the #Republicans' faces, and ultimately help Joe #Biden in the #2024election. Mark my words.

Fox News · House votes to authorize Biden impeachment inquiryBy Elizabeth Elkind

Just another right-wing Twitter kook with empty threats about putting people on lists?

No. This guy is a former #SCOTUS clerk for Neil #Gorsuch and is currently Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senator Chuck Grassley.

Is it a joke? Is it for real? As NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen says, 'it's the stakes, not the odds.' Or, as the WA Post's Dan Baltz wrote today, 'Take [them] seriously ***and*** literally.'

They mean it.
