Republicans just blocked their own "big, beautiful bill" that would kick millions of Americans off their health care...because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc.
But it won't be DOJ.
It won't be the SEC.
It won't be Congress.
You know who CAN investigate this?
NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Profiteering at the public’s expense. Trump and his partners in crime chuckle and celebrate as millions of Americans suffer shocking financial losses.
“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.”
Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

Now listen to this in the context of the SCOTUS’ decision.
Yes, you can get a lawyer and file a habeas petition IF you can get a lawyee. But when wheels go up on the flight you are gone. And from what we’re seeing in the Garcia case this Admin will fight like hell to keep you gone.

Trump put in place the largest tax increase on the American people yesterday. Meanwhile, House Republicans ran out of DC early so they won't have to defend Trump's tax hike.
