Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.

This case will make its way to SCOTUS. The Christofascists want to eradicate the Johnson Rule limiting church spending/campaigning. Combined w/ the J.D.Vance lawsuit before SCOTUS to negate the ban on coordinated spending btw candidates & PACs, all the billionaire guardrails will be destroyed.
