Even MAGAs have to be able to understand why this is bad, right?

RIGHT?

And it's blowing another enormous hole in the deficit and the national debt, as interest rates are rising. Is the problem with this beyond their comprehension?

Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill

1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history.
2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history.
3. All of this is being done to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.

Witkoff has advocated for ceding Ukrainian regions to Moscow, and has met Putin four times, most recently last week.

Three days later Sergei Lavrov reiterated Putin's demands for a settlement and Moscow’s forces have continued missile and drone strikes on Ukraine, with civilian casualties.

US officials have prepared sanctions on Russia, focusing on natural resources and banking.

It is unclear whether Trump will sign. His sympathy for Moscow have given way to frustration with Putin’s spurning of his calls for a ceasefire and peace talks.

First arresting a judge now threatening to arrest Governor Evers.

This is what an authoritarian regime looks like.

What is it, put it in the hands of the states or let the federal government run it?

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.

It also received $22M in federal aid.

While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

I'm not sure people understand that the economic meltdown isn't *just* about tariffs. Trump and Rs are pushing a coordinated suite of policies that are dismantling America's economy.

And it's working. www.thebulwark.com/p/behold-the...

Behold: The Glorious Trumpcession Is Here

This isn’t just Trump and tariffs. It’s a coordinated attempt by the Republican party to hobble the economy.

Who's "we" exactly, @schumer.senate.gov?

When people at the top talk about “short term pain” from tariffs–they aren’t talking about their own pain.

They’re talking about working people's pain–when folks will lose their homes, health care, and not be able to put food on the table.
