JUST NOW: Republicans just passed their budget bill, which will slash Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion to pay for massive tax giveaways for the ultra rich, while Trump is in the Oval Office BRAGGING ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY HIS BILLIONAIRE FRIENDS MADE from his manipulation of the stock market yesterday!

Congressional Republicans are turning their backs on Americans to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. This budget resolution lays the foundation for Trump to gut Medicaid and strip resources from seniors, veterans, those with disabilities, children, and working families.

hey, world-outside-the-US: we’re all going to start building a new network of international trading and diplomatic alliances now that excludes these market-manipulating lunatics, right?

I’m glad Trump decide to pause his attempt to destroy our economy in the short term so he can get back the hard work of destroying our economy over the long term.

On April 3,2025, Trump flashes a $5 million 'gold card', which he has said will be a route to US citizenship. So, if this is the case, the only crime those are being deported is of being 'poor'. #ProudBlue

How much wealth was transferred from the retirement accounts of working-class people to the pockets of the ultra-wealthy by Trump’s manipulation of the markets over the last week? $100 billion? $500 billion? More?

No strategy, no plan, just chaos. Trump is single-handedly driving prices up and pushing us towards a recession with these tariffs. Time for Congress to act.

Let’s live in the real, fact-based world. Since taking office, Donald Trump has done more to weaken America than any president in US history.

Can Trump impose his will on the world via tariffs? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04... Can Trump command a world fearful of the madness of his tariffs? He might be mad enough to think so. I am not convinced.

Almost 30 years ago, in "Life as We Know It," I described Gingrich Republicans as people who would kick the crutches out from under Tiny Tim. Jack Fowler of the National Review, a high school classmate of mine, wrote to me to object. And now here we are.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"
