Nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like taking from the poor to give tax breaks to billionaires … and buying more tanks. https://x.com/popbase/status/1910366887269068929?s=46&t=nVM3A9JQ856GgygehDHrrw The U.S. House of Representatives just narrowly passed a Republican-backed budget plan, which proposes deep cuts to programs that support low and middle-income Americans. Key components of this plan include: • Major tax cuts primarily benefiting the wealthy • At least $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act • At least $230 billion in cuts to food assistance programs such as SNAP • $175 billion in new funding for mass deportation efforts • A $175 billion increase in military spending

Books on the Holocaust, histories of feminism, civil rights and racism, and Maya Angelou’s famous autobiography, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” were among the nearly 400 volumes removed from the U.S. Naval Academy’s library this week after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office ordered the school to get rid of ones that promote diversity, equity and inclusion. The Navy late Friday provided the list of 381 books that have been taken out of its library. The move marks another step in the Trump administration’s far-reaching effort to purge so-called DEI content from federal agencies, including policies, programs, online and social media postings and curriculum at schools. In addition to Angelou’s award-winning tome, the list includes “Memorializing the Holocaust,” which deals with Holocaust memorials; “Half American,” about African Americans in World War II; “A Respectable Woman,” about the public roles of African American women in 19th century New York; and “Pursuing Trayvon Martin,” about the 2012 shooting of the Black 17-year-old in Florida that raised questions about racial profiling.
