Look what Jake Tapper did to us. His garbage book—which contains none of the proof it claims to include—is the foundation a vile madman will now use to justify ending our democracy by undoing actions he’d otherwise not be able to touch. Democracy dies as Tapper swims in gold, Scrooge McDuck-style.

Remember “pioneering Americans who’ve…pursued justice and sought to create a better life for us all. They remind us what we’re fighting for in the face of Trump cultists who imagine white nationalist rule won’t make us poorer, uglier and increasingly irrelevant.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

"The prospect of courts cutting the legs out from under Trump’s shakedown scheme has made his bad hand even worse. In short, if he can’t rely on IEEPA to steal Congress’s tariff power, he won’t be able to unilaterally impose tariffs of up to 1,000 percent, as he has threatened to do."

Bernie: "What that is all about is that if you're rich in America, you can make campaign contributions, you are entitled to massive tax breaks because you're superhuman beings. But if you're a poor working stiff, working at McDonald's, struggling to put food on the table, you're entitled to nothing"

The Medicaid cuts proposed by the GOP are awful on their own. But they could also reduce economic activity — resulting in a loss of 850,000 jobs across the country in both the healthcare industry and beyond. All for tax cuts that will mostly benefit the richest Americans.

Sec of Education Linda McMahon makes Tommy Tuberville look like a Mensa member

Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon's family is worth $3.2 billion. The administration is trying to give her a huge tax cut, paid for by cuts to Medicaid and food assistance -- including for kids. I asked her to explain why she needs the money. She refused.

The CBO estimates that Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which is stuffed with tax cuts skewed to the wealthy, will explode the deficit by $2.4T and kick 10.9M people off their health insurance. This has always been the GOP strategy: socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Tuesday: Cruz and Booker sparred over the 2023 protests outside Supreme Court justices’ homes — and Cruz, smug as ever, played outraged. But where was that outrage when angry mobs attacked Capitol cops? When Trump pardoned 1,200+ rioters? And will Cruz hold Trump accountable for threatening judges?

Donald Trump keeps promising “hundreds” of trade deals. He was supposed to have them by now. Reality check: ZERO Not one deal signed. Not even a clear definition of what he thinks a trade deal is.

📌U.S. intelligence vetted by among others, MARCO RUBIO, laid out that Putin helped put Trump in office. That it is regularly ignored by our press in the context of NATO and the War in Ukraine is shoddy, and ISN'T journalism. It is essential background, and informs Trump's dealings in the region.

For those keeping score: we are 5 months into Trump’s term and he has made ZERO deals! He has failed to make a deal to end Ukraine or Gaza war. He failed on Iran deal. And he has made ZERO trade deals. He only has the concepts of a plan with UK on trade. But NO formal deal. TACO Trump is a FAILURE!
