New in PN: Thom Tillis’s retirement is an ominous sign for the GOP "It’s the first warning sign that Republicans’ massive cuts to Medicaid and social programs could lead not just to widespread death and misery for their constituents, but also to electoral disaster for the party."

There are four political stories people should know about tonight. First, President Donald Trump’s tariff war and weaker consumer spending translated to a contraction of 0.5% in the U.S. economy in the first quarter, even more of a drop than the 0.2% economists expected.

He knows. He does not care. His donors will back him because they think money can outvote people, and they want their billionaire tax cuts.

Stealing from the poor, giving to the rich, at a time when inequality is already at record levels. Inequality is the thing that holds us back most — and this Republican bill exacerbates it. (Again) #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

REPORT: Trump/MAGA budget bill could “add $3.5 to $4.2 trillion to the debt.” National debt for all of us to give billionaires massive handouts. Let’s be clear: The Republican Party is not “the party of fiscal responsibility.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer www.crfb.org/blogs/senate...

Gift article. We'll see if Nancy Mace either: 1) pays a big enough bribe to Trvmp, or 2) promises enough acts of obsequious sycophancy to Trvmp. This is how our coin-operated government works these days.
