So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Great framing.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Hey media, and hell, dems too... Stop saying DOGE is cutting programs and firing people. Congress controls the "purse" Congress controls funding. Congress is run by Republicans. So Republicans are cutting funding and firing everyone. Give them the credit they deserve.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Don’t accept a buyout.
Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.
And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Per Wired/TPM/NY Times, Musk engineers now have alarming access to both ends of the system for federal #Medicaid $ for states: (1) HHS/CMS payment portal system, the interface for states to request funding and get federal approval and (2) Treasury payment system that actually sends the $ to states.

The fact that Trump is hurting his own people so badly would be an interesting story if the press decided to tell it.
Seven of the 10 states most dependant on federal $ are red , and 7 of the 10 least dependent are blue. Biden's green jobs projects are disproportionately in red districts. Rural areas rely much more on federal funding than urban. Rural healthcare doesn't exist without Medicaid and CHIP.
