Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history?
It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich.
Reverse Robin Hood.

This is the place to go for people who love their neighbors and care about their communities. Those who won't tolerate secret police ripping them apart, and insist that our Constitutional civil liberties be restored. Can you do any of that for us, JD? Zero tolerance for posers, liars, and grifters.

Thoughts on this ceasefire:
- Israel is *lighting* Tehran up right now. Some of the most intense strikes so far
- Khamenei says Iran will not surrender
- Trump says ceasefire will hold “forever” which is fucking laughable
- nobody cares that 400kg of uranium is missing?

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

Woke up this morning, thought to myself that I would post that Trump is definitely not going to wait 2 weeks to bomb Iran, then said oh whatever, I'll just post that tonight

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump Is Indisputably the Co-Author of the Israeli War Against Iran—and His Iran Plot is Easily the Most Significant Betrayal of His MAGA Voters Yet
One thing MAGAs agree on is that MAGAism opposes the US becoming involved in any new foreign wars. But the available evidence now confirms—beyond any doubt—that Trump planned the current war in Iran.

This chart is absolutely essential.
It explains why Trump removed America from the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018.
Because it was *working*.
Trump needed a cause for war, so he manufactured it. This has all been in the works for some time now. He was never "weighing options."

Here is the dirty secret no one is speaking out loud: Trump does not believe that bombing the hell out of Iran is going to send Iran back to the negotiation table, nor has anyone in his inner circle suggested to him that outcome.
He fully knows he has entered America into a war.

“Many presidents have dreamed of delivering the final blow to Iran’s nuclear program, and none could until President Trump.”
This is garbage. Other Presidents could have done the same thing but they chose not too.
