Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is now law.
It rips health care away from 17 MILLION people and raises grocery costs for 40 MILLION people, just to pay for tax handouts for billionaires and billionaire corporations.
Here's where we go next.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

This is how I started my recent 100-minute Q&A: by stating unequivocally that what Trump did was illegal.
Every major media outlet should have led with that statement, as it was factual, not subjective.
That has now been confirmed.
The same will be found regarding using the Marines on ICE raids.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

A GOP-controlled state appeals court ruled last week that over 65,000 lawful votes cast in North Carolina's Supreme Court race can be thrown out — potentially handing the race to the Republican candidate.
This is what stealing an election actually looks like.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
