The "big beautiful bill" is a bunch of BS. On today's Coffee Klatch, Heather and I discuss what the new GOP budget reveals about GOP priorities — and the massive Trump power-grab hidden in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr2azomuEFM - ThreadSky

I think she’s right though. Poles don’t matter to them. He’s just getting as rich as possible and exercising his wildest fantasies of control.

Trump and his billionaire supporters have lost popularity among 2/3 of the American voters, Midterms will be GOP worst nightmare, and Trump will be a lame duck president for the remainder of his term.
Do your homework, views have changed, we the people know.

Senate Dems CAN use new rule to STOP Big Budget Bill & MAGA polices! Repubs voted to stop California emissions laws, NOW Dems can challenge virtually ANY Trump admin action & eat up time on the floor. Call Senate Democrats (202) 224-3121.

I was trying to explain to someone what was in FELON Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," & before I could even start, she blurted out, "Oh, I love that name. I love that it's beautiful."
I can't stand how Americans - even well-educated Americans - are so completely stupid, so gullible, so easily conned.

The bill eliminates the mechanism for appeals to SCOTUS on anything the administration is doing or will do thereby ensuring his despotism is complete. Nothing else matters except stopping this bill in the Senate. Or him, anywhere or anytime else.

Trump is trying to kill dissent. He emulates Kim and Putin tyrant thugs.

The Dems need to flood the zone with Lincoln Project videos and get them to go on Faux News with pictures so the MAGA dumbasses can see what Trump is stealing from them.

Example…

He said screw you to the people of North Carolina who are recovering from hurricane Helene, and spends 💰on his parade!

Trump is ignoring repeated warnings that his budget could worsen the national debt, harm many of his own constituents, strain the finances of low-income families, and contribute to far less growth than the White House claims

We the People MUST collectively say NO. Trump is destroying the #Economy

Democrats have historically done well when in power, but they are in the minority in Congress

Congressional Republicans are in power now, and can make change

If you want change, call the Senate Republicans
