NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990.

In fact, it would be the largest transfer *ever.*

Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

If you're looking for an explainer on why due process matters to share with friends and family members who might ... need convincing, I've removed the (partial) paywall from my March 19 post for "One First" on the topic:

Keep a list.

19 Democrats including, Chuck Schumer, backed MAGA Republicans in making corruption, tax evasion and fraud easier. They voted to repeal the rule requiring cryptocurrency bros to adhere to the same tax reporting rules as stock brokers. #3E #EndOligarchy

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

NOAA tracks it all:

✅ Hurricanes
✅ Tornadoes
✅ Wildfires
✅ Flash floods
✅ Tsunamis
✅ Droughts
✅ Heatwaves
✅ Rising seas

Cutting NOAA funding is like taking the battery out of your smoke alarm to save money—It makes absolutely no sense.

Really proud of my friend Brendan Farrington for making his fight with United Health Care to get his prescribed cancer treatments public.

It shouldn't take this much for them to do the right thing.
