‘America First’ Is a Lie
America has *always* been about putting America first. Trump’s “America First” movement is about something else entirely.

So Trump imposes blanket tariffs, and only when a CEO pays him $5 million will he offer a carveout. Anyone who thinks he’s “draining the swamp” is either complicit or a fool.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.
That is beyond unacceptable.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: They're out there saying 'we just passed a bill to eliminate taxes on tips & taxes on SS benefits.' NONE of that's in the bill. But they deny that they're cutting Medicaid. So they want credit for popular stuff that isn't in the bill but ignore the deeply unpopular stuff.

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills.
Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds.
Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

JD Vance is currently claiming that his obnoxious comments about France & the UK planning to put 20,000 peacekeeping troops on the ground in Ukraine had, wait for it, nothing to do with France & the UK. Doublespeak, dipshit or both?

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.
The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.
Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.
