Trump already passed a massive tax cut for the rich – and paid for it with health care cuts for the rest of us.
Apparently, that wasn’t enough – he's seeking new backdoors to give even more tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy – while we face rising costs. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

Rather than address corporate greed or propose actual rising costs, Trump’s new plan for the housing crisis is…50-year mortgages!
Republicans want homebuyers to pay more, get less, and be trapped in debt for a half century. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

This is what a bunch of Democrats in the Senate just voted for:
"The provision, tucked into a measure to fund the legislative branch, appears to immediately allow for eight GOP senators to sue over their phone records being seized in the course of the investigation by Jack Smith ... into the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

No agreement on healthcare but the government will temporarily reopen.
Wish Dems would have stood their ground.
Many millions will now shift to not purchasing any health insurance or signing for high deductible health plans that strain budgets without offering robust coverage.

It took them less than six months to pass a budget bill that gave billionaires permanent tax breaks and stripped away nearly $1T in Medicaid from Americans and ACA susbsidies.
Also notable — Trump starting issuing tariffs 10 days after being sworn in.

Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

A stark reminder that-despite the fecklessness of 7 Democratic senators-Donald Trump and his MAGA lackeys are the real reason health insurance premiums have skyrocketed
The callousness of their Big Ugly Bill and half-baked ideas (like this one) to “fix” the crisis will get even MORE people killed

Trump: "We want a healthcare system where we pay the money to the people instead of the insurance companies. We're gonna be working on that very hard over the next short period of time. Where the people get the money. We're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars."
