Big beautiful bill? Sadistic move to destroy the lives of poor people. Read @paulkrugman.substack.com.web.brid.gy on work requirements that rely on falsities about “malingerers” on Medicaid to take away benefits from the poor to pay for tax cuts for the super rich. Monstrous.

Yes, the Media’s Biden Coverage Was Flawed. But Its Reporting on Trump Was Far Worse. “Despite wishful thinking, there’s no such thing as ‘just the facts’ or complete neutrality, because editorial decisions and reporting choices always matter.” [theguardian.com]

It’s amazing how Trump labels the bloated Republican budget that explodes the deficit a ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ and so many media outlets now routinely use that term in their headlines & stories. Foreign leaders find Trump easy to manipulate, and Trump find media easy to manipulate.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

Trump says he’ll use revenue from tariffs to “offset” more big tax cuts. Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations. But revenue raised from tariffs will be coming disproportionately from average working people. See how this works?
