Even Donald Trump’s top IRS nominees can’t explain how his “Big Beautiful Bill” makes any sense.
![Senator Warren says: Here we have Zuckerberg and Bezos getting billions in tax breaks paid for by kicking 15 million Americans off their health care. How does handing out billions of dollars to corporations for research they did [years ago] lower costs?

Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

The astonishing thing about Watergate, in contrast to today, is how the President was actually shamed into leaving office.
Imagine that: shame.

The Democratic Party's approval ratings are terrible, a young Democratic politician solidly wins a primary in the country's biggest city by generating enthusiasm and high turnout, and Democratic leaders think the move is to publicly distance themselves, even denounce him, do I have that right?

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

the reaction to Mamdani's campaign is clear proof that centrism is a reactionary ideology, and has nothing to do with a pragmatic desire to win.

$56 for an afternoon nap seems rather pricey. Does it come with a pillow and blanky?
It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets.
Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake.
