Each Note Felt, 39th Day of Summer, 525 M.E. (Electra): Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Stable Genius' big, bad budget bill. They made no changes and passed it just as the Senate had sent it over to them. They voted to close rural hospitals, to throw millions off of Medicaid, to kneecap alternative energy, and to add trillions to the national debt. I won't go into all the negative impacts the bill will have on our lives - I haven't read the entire, nearly 1,000-page document, and others describe it in far better detail elsewhere. Do your own homework and read up on it yourself.

I will say this - some of the worst parts, like the Medicaid cuts, deliberately won't kick in until after the 2026 mid-term elections, so we won't have experience the full impact of this awful legislation until after the Republicans have a chance to try and get reelected. But don't fall for it: it's too late to negate all the ill effects this will have on this nation, but the sooner we begin the long, protracted healing process the better. 

Vote the bastards out of office. In Georgia, this includes Marjorie Taylor Greene (naturally), Rick Allen, Buddy Carter (at what age does a grown man stop calling himself "Buddy"?), Andrew (Day of Peaceful Tourists) Clyde, Barry Loudermilk, Richard McCormick, Austin Scott, Brian Jack and his cheesy siblings, Monterey and Pepper, and Mike Collins and his brother, Tom Collins (just kidding - that one's a cocktail, but I need one after this vote).

So here we go, amerika, the longest I-told-you-so in recorded history.
