Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.
The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.
Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Let’s keep this simple:
Tariffs = a Trump Tax.
Prices are sky high – and what Donald Trump is doing will only make them higher.

The bottom line? Trump and his GOP allies are running the government like a Ponzi scheme for the ultra-rich. Working Americans get higher bills, worse health care, and no relief—while billionaires get handouts. That’s not leadership. That’s theft. #JointAddress

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign.
Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

This morning, I sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regarding Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest.
Within minutes, the White House confirmed receipt.
By noon, President Trump fired the Director of OGE.
I want to know: Was this to prevent his answer?

No one is above the law in our country, unless you happen to be a twice impeached, adjudicated rapist, business fraud, felon who tried to overturn the results of a legitimate presidential election via violent coup.
In that case, yes — you are in fact, above the law.
