If progressives were already having a bad day, this might make it worse:
Folks, you're not going to believe this, but the Senate just passed … another tax cut! https://t.co/UTsUVR0QdN

This is unbelievable. Just when you thinking hold CHIP hostage is bad, you find out it is only the beginning. Their capacity for evil is unimaginable; whenever you think you cannot imagine it worse, it gets worse. https://t.co/oRSWLehB08

As if the government funding deal wasn't bad enough, we now find out there's yet more tax cuts hidden in it.
The bill contains $31 billion in tax cuts & it delays implementing 3 health care taxes related to proper functioning of Obamacare. https://t.co/NuajoKbhsG

Somehow Nancy Pelosi will have to come up with a word even more dire sounding than “Armageddon.”
