Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

So sick of people talking like Trump thinks tariffs will help the country. He likes tariffs because so far he’s in total control of them so he can leverage them for his own benefit and if it causes the economy to tank, he will use the ensuing chaos to grab more emergency powers.

The picture of Kristi Noem in front of humiliated half-naked prisoners being kept in effectively an El Salvadoran concentration camp at the direction of the U.S. government is a depraved abomination that all of us need to condemn.

It’s not that Trump is a Russian asset; rather he is Putin’s partner. They jointly want to undermine democracies & have the world run by dictators & a few loyal oligarchs. Once you understand this, everything falls into place & the urgent need to resist is clear.
