There’s a lot going on with Trump and Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s all bad.
16 MILLION losing health care.
4.3 MILLION losing food assistance.
And 3 TRILLION added to our national debt.
All for billionaires and billionaire corporations to get even richer.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power.

Understand this about Trump’s trip to the Gulf:
He sold out our national interest for his family's business interest — giving away key U.S. tech innovations to Gulf countries while they cut deals with his advance man, Eric Trump.
This isn't America First. It’s Trump Profits First.

Thanks to Trump's disastrous USDA cuts, DMV food banks have lost 1.4 MILLION meals and food banks nationally are struggling to meet growing demand.
There's nothing "efficient" about taking food from people in need. It's just more cruelty from Trump and his cabinet of billionaires.

Nothing Donald Trump could do at this point will reveal anything further about his weakness of character. But the character of the Republicans who go along with him? Who refuse to speak up amidst the unrelenting corruption. More is being revealed about them every minute.

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?
