Trump is touting the no tax on tips provision in his budget bill.
But many tipped workers won't benefit because their earnings are so low. And the provision expires in 2028.
The estate tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich? Those were made permanent.
Funny how that works.

After getting blocked the first time, Sen. Mike Lee is revising his land grab plan and trying to sneak it back into the “Big 💩 Bill.” The new proposal would force the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

This comes after the Senate parliamentarian ruled his original plan, which targeted up to 3.3 million acres, couldn’t be included. So now he’s tweaking the numbers and trying again. Same scheme, just smaller print. They’re still coming for your public lands. Keep watching and please, keep fighting.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
Don't let them get away with it.
