If Musk & his pals are so concerned about increasing the national debt in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, why don’t they cut the $664 billion in tax breaks for the 1%; the $420 billion in tax breaks for large profitable corporations; & the $150 billion in increased military spending?

Trump has nothing on his public schedule again today..... maybe after the report that he's taking classified intelligence briefings only about once a week and all the bullshit back and forth with tariffs, Susie Wiles decided to take the senile grandpa off the board. Who's working the autopen now?

I was the first member of the House to participate in the AIDS/Lifecycle ride back in 2014. This weekend, I'll become the first U.S. Senator to participate in the ride. The cause could not be more important.

Why did Jake Tapper write a book on a former President while the current President is ushering in fascism and oligarchy? Jake isn't used to getting his hands dirty fighting for democracy. If it doesn't come easy, he's not going to do it. Biden is an easy target. Trump will hit back. Hard.

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

Donald Trump spent the night ranting about investigating Beyonce so that you would forget that House Republicans just moved a bill forward that would cut Medicaid. Don’t let them get away with it.

Many American voters are likely to excessively overcorrect from 2024-2025 to look for honest, authentic, effective, consistent communicators who don’t rely on slogans and platitudes in 2026-28. They aren’t plentiful.

Foreign nationals are prohibited from contributing to Donald Trump’s campaign. But Trump’s memecoin scam allows foreigners to influence U.S. policy by putting money directly in his pocket. This unlawful graft must be stopped.

On issue after issue, the Trump administration's conduct has been so hamfisted, heavy-handed, and hubristic that it has already rattled millions of voters back to their senses. There is no "mandate." Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

White privilege is being hired for a job you're not qualified to do, whining about DEI while screwing up again and again and again, and then being given extra time to "get it together" in the future.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.
