FWIW, Musk is 100% correct on this issue. This bill is a disaster and will lead to a recession — at minimum. Trump, as usual, is a tiny vindictive asshat and is using the government to target people who disagree with him.

I can tell you that NONE of my Florida neighbors are happy about this.

Watching human beings stand behind a podium & defend starving their neighbors, children, grandchildren, babies is quite an experience. They have speeches queued up to defend bankrupting states & no conscience as to the depravity of their actions. This level of hate is beyond what I’ve ever seen.

As Marshall, a doctor, well knows, Medicaid recipients don't engage in fraud (they can't, since they are not involved in payments); it is corrupt health care providers (including some doctors) who defraud Medicaid programs.

Our client, Zaya Perysian, took President Trump to court to challenge his executive order that denies trans, intersex, and non-binary people accurate passports. No matter what, we'll keep fighting until this executive order is gone for good.

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe. The government should not be policing the artistic or political expression of citizens, visitors, or anyone else.

Good news, as the government is wholly untrustworthy when it says Mr. Abrego's deportation is not "imminent."

This makes a mockery of Trump’s attempts to justify his mass deportations as a war on criminal gangs. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/u...

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress. But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/1974...

It’s pretty impressive how bad this bill is, honestly. Gigawatts of projected energy shortage. Starving kids. Massive deficit increase. But at least Trump’s rich friends get their tax break!

Our intelligence confirms this - we have intercepts of high level Iranian officials who are surprised that damage at the nuclear facilities wasn’t worse. Trump is going to refuse to admit the truth, which increases the chances that Iran is able to reconstitute their program.

I’m fine with him retiring, because this is a clear chance for a Dem replacement, but politics shouldn’t be a blood sport. A single disagreement with your party shouldn’t lead to threats from the President. It’s insane.

Unfortunately Jefferies is apart and or fed by "Old Blue Blood" democrats who fear a new wave of young vitalization of the party and country, not dissimilar to MAGA ironically. Old Blue Blood democrats (Clinton, Schumer, etc) are hurting the USA.

“I canceled Obama’s nuclear inspection program, then I bombed Iran. Now, I am offering them pallets of $30 billion in cash, plus another $6 billion, if they agree to negotiate Obama’s plan. It’s called the Art of the Deal.”

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
