1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history. The anti-Robin Hood.

Most important chart of the day, from the Yale Budget Lab; the black dots are the net effect of the budget bill and the tariffs. The bottom 80% get poorer; only the top 10% come out ahead. Take from the poor and middle class, give to the rich. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/com...

Crucial new analysis from @budgetlab.bsky.social taking CBO’s distributional analysis and including the impact of tariffs. The combined effect of the “big beautiful bill” and Trump’s tariffs has the bottom 80% losing on average, the 9th decile flat, and only the top 10% better off.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Scott Perry lived on the false trail of 2020 election fraud, tried to install a patsy as AG, and had his phone seized by the FBI as a result. What possible standing does he have scrutinizing the lives of people whose earnings qualify them for Medicaid? Unreal.

EXACTLY! Thank you, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 We need to see ACTION—at least WEEKLY—from every elected Democrat (district, state, federal), and most especially, from our minority leader, @schumer.senate.gov. We’re facing unprecedented times. @thereformers.bsky.social
