This will only change when Repubes can no longer defend the ultra-rich, their patrons.

SOP for Repubs has long been to defund agencies that enforce regulations they don't like.

Underfunding tactics like this should get more coverage from MSM.

Is TX capable of electing an honest politician anymore? LBJ witnessed poverty in TX, and brought us MediCare, though he certainly had his faults. The current crop of TX politicians is a laughingstock.

Not all GOP members on the last point, but some. Like the Gomerts of the party.

This SOB Social Security Commissioner Andrew Saul is messing with my money. Mine and nearly 30 million other Americans. Another one of Rump's appointees selected not for his ability to do the job but put there just screw up the process.

Congressional Repubes don’t give a damn about the will of the people. It’s all about the money, which keeps them in power, and subservient to the billionaires.
