  2. Jon Stewart should be blasting this all over the airwaves.

    This is why I think the whole bloody apparatus needs to go, a la Second American Revolution, just like Jefferson and others thought.

    How do we honor our fallen heroes? Letting rich oligarchs bicker over their retirements due to percentage points.

    This is the best idea of America?

    Stay classy, you leaders.

    Keep fighting for insider trading and dementia voting.

  4. I am sure the NYCFD who endorsed Trump are thrilled by this.

    Leopards eating facea.

  5. Robbing the nation and not even trying to hide their corruption.

  8. According to the article, 9/11 victims’ health care is still funded until about 2027. This would have extended it to 2040.

  9. It’s funny how we can’t afford things unless it is the MIC and some tax breaks for billionaires and millionaires. 

  10. Orange Osama… kills more Americans slowly and without illegals.

  12. Welp, the NYCFD back Trump. This must have been what they wanted when doing so.
    Ya get what ya pay for!!!

    (Pointing & laughing)

  13. >”Obviously we are not against smarter spending and we’re not against cutting wasteful spending,” Mr. Brosi said

    I’m sure there are billions of dollars in funding for things Mr Brosi thinks are wasteful that others consider to be critical.

  15. It’s shitty that this was dropped but just for context, funding is expected to last sometime through 2027. Original spending bill would’ve ensured it out through 2040 or so, and it’ll likely come up again during the next budget meeting in March.

    Still, for those who voted against it, I do hope this was an eye opener that President Musk and convicted felon Trump don’t care about the well-being of the working class.

  16. Well, if they voted for Elon, they got what they were asking for. Sorry to the innocent heroes caught in the crossfire.

  17. Not surprising, same way they treat veterans. It’s very much a case of “what have you done for me lately?”.

  20. Hear that, Long Island? What about YOU, Staten? How does that grab ya, Mo?

  21. Not shocked. The American Republican Terrorist party is overwhelmingly against supporting Americans. Especially those who have gave something for this country. Those are the ones these terrorists hate the most. Veterans, charitable people, and hard working Americans are on their most hated list

  23. I just can’t fathom the glee they must feel to destroy so many lives

  24. Where is our independent media screaming this message ? Child cancer research , farm aid and 911 healthcare funding all dropped because Elon Musk wanted to swing his tiny PP around.

  25. Why not, he wants to cut off all the people who ever helped this country. Veterans and first responders are good for a photoshoot but are just tossed aside any other time

  28. Sucks to suck.

    Maybe you shouldn’t be a war-mongering class traitor.

    Don’t these assholes remember that it was Republicans that fought them tooth and nail in the first place? Of course not.

    That would require knowing how to read and remember things.

  29. >The health fund does not sunset until 2027.

    Could someone ELI5?
