What sparks the fury in me is how this asshole spent years shitting on skilled public servants as "deep state," told everyone he could do a better job, and then, five minutes into his tenure, he's on TV crying about how haaaaard governing is. MAGAs should learn when to take a seat, but they won't.

Yes. They are cruel. ICE is also now deporting Ukrainians who are here legally as war refugees. Let that sink in. Imagine if we deported Jews back to Nazi Germany back in the 40's. This is just cruel. ICE needs to be stopped.

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

Trump is claiming tariff power that he does not have, insisting the US faces an emergency. A trade deficit is not an emergency. And Apple manufacturing iPhones in China or India is not an emergency. He’s threatening to take illegal action.

Olszewski: We’re still learning in real time what this bill even includes. Taking out fees on gun silencers? Making tanning easier—while they’re gutting food benefits and taking away healthcare from people. They’re turning their backs on veterans. It also adds trillions to the deficit.

I found numerous examples of JD Vance IN 2017 criticizing Medicaid cuts as a BETRAYAL OF TRUMP VOTERS. When Vance/Trump support the GOP bill, which has huge Medicaid cuts very similar to the ones JD criticized, he should be pressed to explain. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1954...
