    The bill, which was opposed by all but one Democrat in the House, boosts defense spending by $6 billion and reduces non-defense spending by about $13 billion while also giving the Trump administration more leeway on future spending decisions.

    Democrats have raised alarm about empowering Trump further while his administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, led by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has been rapidly slashing government programs and cutting workers in a push to reduce the size of the government.

    Neoliberals aren’t on our side.

    Fuck right/left, we need to start thinking bottom/top. And the vast majority of our government are beholden to the top 0.01%. The reason everything is a culture war these days is they’ll do anything to avoid a class war.

    Because 99.99% beats 0.01% regardless of wealth disparity
