  1. They won nothing but a paycheck @ your expense they caved

  2. Doesn't matter. You cut social safety nets instead of taxing billionaires/ cutting the GROSS AMOUNT OF WASTE in the military budget. CUT IT BY HALF, YOU'LL HAVE ALL THE MONEY YOU MEED

  3. CRIMINAL TAKE OVER👿👿👿👿❌

  4. Look at this stuffed suit pretending like we're all saved or something 😂😂😂

  5. all join for an unenthusiastic "Yay."

  6. Where is my money whites !!!!

  7. I'll be cheering when Congress puts a ceiling on inflatation, and provides housing for low income seniors and Healthcare For All. USA is living in the Dark Ages compared to other Western nations.

  8. I saw this Video just now as a lead to an article in the NYT front Page. If this issue was such a Big Moment in our History, one would not need to "read a script" to make your points. My gosh even a 2 star Lawyer or an average Salesman/ Sales woman can deliver a Closing point without script. Look at your audience in the eye, don't blink. With all respect " I wouldn't hire" this gentleman to represent me or my Company. I think we had Classes in Public Speaking back in High School.

  9. Our senators are heroes. Thanks for saving us.

  10. Republicans Destroyed Americans Social Security

  16. Nothing to be proud of… stupid people with stupid behavior

  17. Do you think this people care about American citizens? No! They care only about serving those big companies and make money but went it come to the people they don’t care. And yet $100 billions for Ukraine. Slava Ukraine.

  18. Notice how he didnt even state what was in the bill? Average Americans are being gutted.
