Today’s blog will focus on headlines we missed and…The Big, Ugly Bill Republicans will pass even though it’s as popular and devastating as catching an STD. Even the moron, The Fascist Felon, doesn’t even know what’s in this UGLY AF shit sandwich. And, Baghdad Blondi keeps gaslighting what is and what is not in the UGLY AF bill. So feel free to share what information you have as long as it’s credible and not from some MAGAt infested shithole.
Good Trouble:
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ marathon floor speech is stretching into its third hour as Democrats mount a last-ditch effort to stall the passage of Republicans’ megabill. Jeffries started speaking around 4:52 a.m. and read through stories from voters who could be impacted by the megabill’s cuts to social safety programs like Medicaid.
It’s not clear when Jeffries plans to end his speech. Democrats lack the votes to ultimately stop passage of the megabill, making the unlimited speaking time afforded to party leaders the last option for them to prolong passage of the GOP legislation. Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy have set the previous records for the longest House floor speeches, clocking in at over eight hours.

Lawrence O’Donnell: This Baffling Trump Answer Shows His Mind ‘Does Not Work’
O’Donnell aired footage from Trump’s press conference Tuesday, which showed the president being asked by a Fox News reporter whether there was an expected time frame that detainees will spend at the center—days, weeks, or months.
Rather than answering the question, Trump launched into a monologue about his affection for Florida.

Trump Pushes GOP Bill—But Doesn’t Seem to Know What’s in It
Trump Warns Against Cutting Medicaid While Pushing a Bill That Slashes It
In the closed-door meeting, Trump told lawmakers that Congress should steer clear of cutting Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security—arguing that doing so would hurt Republicans in upcoming elections. “Those are the three things you don’t touch if you want to win,” Trump said, according to three sources who spoke with NOTUS.
One member reportedly replied, “But we’re touching Medicaid in this bill.”
Fact Check:
Trump says if the bill passes there would be “no tax on Social Security.” Not exactly. Under the House and Senate versions of the plan, fewer seniors would pay taxes on Social Security benefits, but millions of Americans would still have to pay.
The version of the bill passed by the Senate would add a $6,000 tax deduction for seniors age 65 and older ($12,000 for married seniors) beginning in 2025 and through 2028 — regardless of whether they receive Social Security benefits. (See Sec. 70103) The House version of the bill proposes a $4,000 deduction for seniors though 2028. (See Sec. 110103)

Staunch election denier appointed to Georgia county’s board of elections
Gail Lee, who has challenged the registrations of hundreds of voters in the county, was nominated by the local Republican party
An Atlanta-area county has appointed a staunch election denier, with a history of challenging voter registrations, to the county’s board of registration and elections, a pivotal position to cast doubt on the results of future elections.
DeKalb county’s Republican committee nominated Gail Lee and a second Republican activist, but the nomination of William Henderson was rejected last week by the chief judge of the DeKalb county superior court, Shondeana Morris, after a letter campaign against the two promoted by the county’s Democratic committee and voting rights activists.
Lee has challenged the registration of hundreds of voters in DeKalb County since the 2020 election, beginning her efforts after Donald Trump’s narrow loss to Joe Biden in 2020. Lee told CBS News in December 2023 that she still believed Trump won, and attended a 2022 conference in Georgia hosted by the Election Integrity Network – a 2020 election denialist group linked to the Trump campaign.
