Gotta pay for those tax cuts for the billionaires! --
🚨NEWS: I've obtained a list of the Medicaid cuts in the Republican reconciliation package. The big one is that they're going to raise premiums and co-pays on beneficiaries at or above the federal poverty line ($15,650 for single people, $21,150 for a couple). That's what helps pay for the tax cuts.

Trump's "Gilded Age" jobs --
Trumpism is actually not about restoring good manufacturing jobs. Bringing mass scale toy manufacturing to the US (brutal factory jobs) while gutting unions/regulations (also core ideological commitments of Trumpism) is a recipe for drudgery and subjugation. newrepublic.com/article/1949...

Trump now says he doesn’t need other countries to agree to anything. He’ll just write down numbers and call it a deal. That’s a guy with a sharpie, not a trade agreement. And it's not an enduring foundation for doing business together.

Calling out the corruption --
A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers. This is corruption. Always call it out.

Secretly spent $21 TRILLION. Had to make sure that was a "t" and not an "m" or "b". Nobody called Mart's Golden Bunkers.
