Trump said he would get a peace deal within 24 hours, and now is poised to lose the war. Why? Because he is the weakest U.S. president in our lifetime. He's told Putin he can continue the war and pay ZERO price. No sanctions. No new weapons for Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/u...

If birthright citizenship is a mistake, let’s be consistent and make it retroactive. J.D. Vance’s wife would not be an American citizen nor his children. Is the Vance family a threat to America? Perhaps not. And the same for millions of other birth-right citizenship families.

So what we have learned is that the Republican budget bill: - increases wealth for the richest 10% - decreases wealth for the poorest 10% - adds $3.8 TRILLION (greater than the total size of many foreign economies) to the deficit. What a f---ing disaster.

The GOP’s budget for billionaires doesn’t trim food assistance for children—it guts it. It would slash SNAP to its core and make 300,000 New Yorkers go hungry. I introduced an amendment stopping Rs from shifting costs onto our state. Not one New York Republican joined me.

A trade war + a budget busting, deficit-hiking, debt-exploding Maga tax bill has the bond market very, very nervous. Many of the assumptions built into the Republican billionaire tax cut assumed lower interest rates, and we are headed in the other direction.

The call between Putin and Trump was a painful reminder that Trump is the junior partner in the Russian-American relationship and that Putin will continue his mass-murder campaign in Ukraine for as long as he can get away with it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The CBO just released a score on Republicans' existing mega-package and found that the GOP budget plan would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion over a decade. It would boost the incomes of the richest 10% of Americans while lowering the incomes of the lowest 10%.

Republicans are scheduling votes in the DEAD OF NIGHT on Trump's "big, beautiful bill." They advanced their bill last night at 10:30PM. The next vote is scheduled for 1AM on Wednesday. Why hide? Maybe because this bill rips away health care from babies, new moms, and seniors.

Under Trump's economic plan, people making between $17K and $51K could lose an average $700 in after-tax income, taking into account tax and social spending changes, according to a new study. Those make $4.3M or more would gain an average $389K. @tonyromm.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

The House Republican budget adds about $2,000,000,000,000 to the debt and slashes essential programs. I joined @newsnation.bsky.social with Chris Sununu and Rep. Richard McCormick to discuss what's at stake in this bill.
