Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Pretty depressing to see the transition from Biden’s fake, media-hallucinated “cost of living crisis,” in which supposedly no one could afford anything (but magically bought more stuff than ever before), to Trump’s tariff economy, in which people ACTUALLY can’t afford things (and stop buying them)
Last week:
P&G CFO: "We see consumption trends consistently deteriorating." $PG
This week:
McDonalds CEO: ".. traffic in the US remained challenging as visits across the industry by low income consumers once again declined by double digits versus the prior year period." $MCD

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Republicans love to call themselves the “party of fiscal responsibility.” Yet every GOP president since Reagan has ballooned the deficit, while Democrats have been left to clean up their mess.
Trump is no different: this budget bill is going to add $3.4 trillion to the national debt.

There is not a single person in the Democratic Party who is treating the death of USAID with the gravity it deserves. There’s no political issue more important than the death of 14 million people, but they’re just delivering boilerplate condemnations and nothing more.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.
