Three different federal judges delivered legal setbacks and slap downs to Trump in the span of an hour and a half today in a series of cases challenging controversial moves taken during the early days of his second term. The rulings are the latest to pump the brakes on Trump’s agenda.

i have no particular argument with the data here, necessarily, but it should be standard practice to provide examples of what "center" actually means, politically, if you're going to make this argument. is a republican who votes to slash medicaid but lives in a swing district a centrist?

Trump promised to lower grocery prices and make housing affordable. He hasn't done shit about that, but he's had plenty of time to pardon cop beaters and strong-arm Republicans in Congress to gut Medicare.

The House budget reconciliation framework that cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid has just passed. They are literally taking from the sick and poor to give the rich tax cuts.

Honestly if you want to trick Democrats in Congress, just say it’s Friday and they can leave unless they want to keep working and they’ll all head out, they won’t even give a shit what you’re voting on

Tim Burchett votes yes. massive cuts to health care for poor folks — all to set up massive tax cuts for the rich. They never cared about the debt.

They appear to be trying to trick Democrats into leaving and then bringing only republicans back quickly to try and pass the bill they didn’t have the votes to pass.

The House budget bill passed in a 217-215 vote. Rep. Thomas Massie was the only Republican no vote. Shameful that no other Republicans care about their constituents or possess a spine.

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

Republicans don’t give a shit about deficits. It’s a cudgel they use when Democrats are in power. That’s it. Period. These “principles,” including small government, liberty, social conservatism, they’re all cudgels. The quicker people understand that the better.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Yeah, I'm a Jefferson Airplane fan. For a bunch of hippies, they were as punk as shit from 1967 to 1972. THE great American band of the era. After that they devolved into total crap, but that doesn't erase peak Airplane. Good article. Grace at 85 is still as big an entertaining asshole as ever.

Lee Zeldin was on Fox today talking about clawing back money lawfully appropriated to organizations by legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act simply bc Trump doesn't like it. This is an especially egregious example of how Trumpers have redefined "fraud" to just mean "spending I disagree with."
