If this works, look for Trump to try and declare judicial orders and duly-past laws null and void.

This flew under the radar, but Trump says his administration won't enforce an anti-money laundering law that requires corporations to disclose information on who really owns shell companies to the Treasury.

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote.
The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate.
His approval ratings are tanking.
He does not have a mandate.
Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.
He's not.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.
The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.
Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Trump's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose:
If we are angry at each other, we won't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

The moment Trump starts speaking, every Democrat that could, should stand up and turn their backs on him. Police unions love that tactic when someone disagrees with holding cops accountable.

Turning backs is visually very powerful and would certainly not be ignored. Would love to see him try to carry on reading from an autocue and not get angry if they did that!

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.
