Yep.
Trump’s latest speech is a fever dream of fake victories, 1500% drug price cuts, $1.99 gas, and a prayer that thanks him for granting access to “the throne of heaven.” Really. Dive into this hallucinatory victory lap through fantasyland. #Congress #25thAmendment

Prediction: By Remembrance Day this year (Nov. 11, 2025) the US will be experiencing the Mother of All Buyer's Remorse. The Reaganesque question "Are you better off than you were 1 year ago" will hit home with a sledgehammer "NO" for an answer.

"A clown with a flamethrower still has a flamethrower" wrote Charlie Sykes on The Bulwark in what seems like an eternity ago, but it was only 2022. It was remarkably prescient.
Charlie has a great podcast with great guests called To the Contrary, also available on YouTube.

Today is the beginning of the end of MAGA. It starts to unravel NOW. The Tariffs+DOGE cuts+BBB+rounding up 30% of your cheap labour (America's dirty little secret) is going to make the chickens come home to roost. By September--November things should be getting interesting.

Here's the skinny...
Senate Republicans are calling to cut Medicaid and CHIP by over $1 trillion, growing to an 18% cut by 2034.
This would be at least four times the size of the largest Medicaid cut in history.

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism.
It's a lie.
It's a lie.

What a shameful day for America.
NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.
They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

When Qatar gave Donald Trump a jet, I started thinking about past gifts to politicians. Checkers, a Cocker Spaniel pup, and a $400 million 747

Excellent article by Benjamin Wittes on Trump's sale of the Indulgences. I added the Trump as Pope photo because I believe that's where we are now.
