Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

So, I'll say this: just this morning we got two polls showing Trump and Musk underwater with the public. So, yes, all this shit is terrifying, and yes, we're all at incredible risk. But they're moving fast because it turns out people don't like this shit, and we shouldn't lose sight of that.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."
