Extending the Trump tax cuts for the next 10 years would add roughly $4 trillion to the deficit.

Remember this the next time Republicans try paying for them with cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
