Actually the real story today—not the bullshit tariff thing—is that Trump does not have enough Republican votes to get his budget passed in the House. He’s destroyed his air of invincibility and is now officially a lame duck.

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril.

Keep threatening Americans.

The protests will only get bigger.

Trump is hated.

Musk is hated.

The political winds have shifted.

People are fed up.

This is only the beginning.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes last year. DOGE should look into that.

The House GOP just passed a draconian budget resolution, but despite GOP misinformation, this is just a blueprint, not a final bill. That means there’s still time to push back against proposed Medicaid cuts and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what you need to know. 👇
The Budget Blueprint Is No 'Big, Beautiful Bill'
At best, it’s a concept of a plan. But then they’ll try to spin it to voters.

There are essentially 2 kinds of people in the country. Those who want to be happy and live well, and also want those things for others. And those who don’t give a d*mn about anyone else so long as they theirs. I think this basically describes our political divide at the moment.

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

Perhaps Trump should have just left the nation’s Inspector Generals, the professionals charged with finding waste & fraud, in place instead of firing many of them. DOGE is not a sophisticated strike force joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

Let’s be clear. Ukraine didn’t start this war any more than Poland started WWII.
