Weird how there’s no “rammed through” language being used
“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget.
Republicans did it.
Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate.
Be precise and give, uh, credit where credit is due

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

The White House has issued an Executive Order to allow Afrikaners to be treated as refugees.
