worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

This isn’t a tax cut. It's a $24 trillion loan GOP Republicans are taking out from the younger generation.   The people of boomer generation, many who are wealthy, are asking young people to loan them $24 trillion. And they are not going to pay it back in our lifetimes.
