1. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just confirmed that the Big Bullshit Bill will cost poor people $1,600 a year while, at the same time putting $12,000 in the pockets of rich people. $12,000!

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.
And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.
This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.
