Extending the Trump tax cuts for the next 10 years would add roughly $4 trillion to the deficit.
Remember this the next time Republicans try paying for them with cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
The "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

my superpower for predicting things? paying attention to what people with power say and do
People laughed a few days ago when @jamellebouie.net said we might not have flu shots next year, but:
NEWS: The FDA abruptly canceled its upcoming advisory committee meeting to select the strains for next year's flu shot.

Black history happens every day, and the stories from NPR listeners are good examples of that. From becoming the first Black mayor of a town to singing music about change, these stories matter.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

Absolutely wild how Kamala lost a lot of votes because of how they were handling gaza to a guy who wants to bulldoze it and build a resort there.
This is so nauseating and monstrous.
Trump on Gaza: "We're gonna have it. And we're gonna keep it ... nobody is gonna question it ... we'll have lots of good things built there, including hotels."

Absolute corruption at its finest. Doesn’t a purchase like this have to go out to bid? ffs.
Tesla, whose chief executive, Elon Musk, has been advising President Trump on how to cut government spending, is likely to receive a lucrative contract to supply armored versions of its Cybertruck pickup to the State Department, according to public documents.

If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect.
It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.
