Not surprisingly, the Trump and GOP budget has nothing about no tax on tips, nothing on no tax on overtime, and nothing on no tax on social security. It does have a $4.5 trillion tax cut for billionaires however.

Blame Game Won’t Fly
Instead of leading after the DC crash, Trump deflects, blaming Buttigieg & DEI. Buttigieg fires back: “Trump should be leading, not lying.” Trump fired key aviation safety personnel—so what’s his plan? Or is finger-pointing all he’s got?

The 5–2 conservative supermajority on the North Carolina Supreme Court is almost assuredly not going to block any of these new laws.
Democrats have a chance to flip the NC Supreme Court if they win judicial races in 2026 and 2028. That's the only plausible path around this power-grab.
