BRENNAN: Goldman Sachs says the hit to growth from tariffs will more than offset the boost to growth from the fiscal package MIKE JOHNSON: What they're discounting is the growth that will be spurred on by this legislation and the fact that the so-called tariff war is beginning to subside already

I KNOW the cruelty is the point But when the CBO says that healthcare would be ripped away from nearly 14 million Americans because of this bill And then I hear Mike Johnson claim it will HELP Medicaid recipients and it’s the “moral” choice I just get SO ANGRY with their callousness and hypocrisy

This is such a gross distortion of standard practices, it’s almost easy to forget the lie itself fashioned the mistrust. But then, forgetting was always the aim. And when people fall sick, they will call it proof of the damage they claim to be undoing. That is how tyrants become indispensable.

Somewhere between 60%-70% of those on Medicaid are actually working. So upwards of 140k of your own constituents are doing what you want, but you’ll strip them of healthcare anyway. Good news is, that will just make your state sicker and cost taxpayers more which is the Republican project so … yay!

I’ll say it again - when any politician uses the ‘I haven’t read that story’ lie about something they knew they would get asked about, the interviewer has a duty to say ‘Okay, in that case I’m going to terminate this interview and you can come back when you’re better prepared.”

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

By a one vote margin the House GOP voted for a bill that will increase hunger and poverty and worsen healthcare for millions of Americans including seniors with the cuts in Medicare. All to enrich their campaign donors.

What media you support is a statement of your priorities and your values. If you think Trump needs to work more effectively with a GOP Congress, support The Washington Post. If you believe we must fight for our democracy, then consider becoming a Democracy Docket subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Shame on West Point for inviting a draft dodger, who views the US military as merely props to be used for his own glory, to give its commencement speech. With no respect, the tacky wheezing fool wore a campaign ball cap and rambled on about yachts and trophy wives to the bored graduates.

Remember when we were promised 90 tariff deals in 90 days? Apparently, it's not going well, so Donald is just going to crash the economy instead. He's level-headed that way.

One of the great under-reported stories of Trump’s ignorance (insanity?) is that for years he has made repeated comments about stealth fighters which suggest he believes they are literally invisible in the sky. His weirdness cannot be overstated.
