Joe Biden: Still kicking GOP ass
This debt deal will rank with the most significant legislative accomplishments of Biden's first term. In a situation that should not have happened, created by his opponents, with immense stakes, he and his team produced the best possible outcome for the country.

Wish they'd admit a lot of things
The “but we need to stop spending” crowd is really saying, “I don’t want my money going to help people I don’t like, I don’t think deserve it, and/or are taking away my white privilege.”

I wish they would just admit that.

The deal POTUS brokered:
-Completely protects Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, ACA, Inflation Reduction Act climate provisions
-Expands food assistance eligibility to veterans, homeless
-Beats back $130 billion in cuts to vets, seniors, kids demanded by GOP pic.twitter.com/OD3k6IT7HF

Jeffries: 25% of the nation's debt was racked up under the four years of the Trump Administration. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility with that shameful record… pic.twitter.com/NEeAWbKjrn

The GOP just does not care
This is our republican congress workin' on the debt ceiling. They all went home. This is real time folks.

Goddamn right we can
If we can afford $858,000,000,000 in Pentagon spending and $10,000,000,000,000 in tax cuts for the wealthy, we can afford to make sure kids don’t go hungry or die from lack of healthcare.

This is exactly how deplorable the GOP is
Here’s Ronna McDaniel on Fox News saying that a possible debt default “bodes very well” for the Republican presidential field pic.twitter.com/J6R9pPJVsf

And Biden needs to start telling America this is all on the GOP
Here are the facts:
— MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) May 22, 2023
The GOP raised the debt ceiling:
- 3 times under Trump
- 7 times under W. Bush
- 18 times under Reagan.
97% of all US debt was incurred prior to Biden's presidency.
25% of all US debt was incurred under Trump.
This is a #RepublicanDefaultCrisis.

No deal, period
You don't make a deal when it involves haggling away health care, taking food from families, stripping away school from students & making the cost of housing climb.
— Congresswoman Summer Lee (@RepSummerLee) May 19, 2023
It's time @POTUS prepares to use the 14th Amendment. We CANNOT make deals on the backs of struggling Americans.

Russian stooges
Allow me to address the elephant in the room: the only one who would benefit directly if the U.S. defaults on its debt is Vladimir Putin. — Now the GOP’s behavior suddenly makes sense, doesn’t it?

Robbing from the poor to give to the rich
Imagine taking food or medicaid away from a family in need so your rich donor has money to buy a yacht.
— Congresswoman Summer Lee (@RepSummerLee) May 18, 2023
Imagine cutting childcare for a kid or increasing school costs so your rich donor can buy a vacation house at the beach.

This alone should end the debt ceiling negotiations immediately
So … lets get this straight, you fuckwit.

If the economy falls, it's because the GOP pushed it
another media coverage failure:
— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) April 29, 2023
to make crystal-clear that, if default crisis occurs, it will be because House Republicans chose it
their turn toward extremism has created the threat
it's not about the economy or even the debt
if it were, they'd have forced Trump to deal w/it https://t.co/mVp9tnN7Uv
