if I could only listen to one kind of music for the rest of my life, the answer would be Memphis soul. RIP Steve Cropper, whose guitar and production defined the Stax sound as much as Booker T’s organ or Otis Redding’s shout

It has to be said - again and out loud - that it’s Republicans in Congress who’ve unshackled him.
“We are now seeing how a truly unshackled Trump uses his power.”

The GOP budget is going to be the single most unpopular and destructive budget in modern American history - tariffs/higher prices, exploding deficits, gutting health care, slashing clean energy/higher electricity costs, huge ICE expansion.

Going to be a parade of horrors and they are scared of it.
Where is the Republican budget? By law it was required to be passed and in place by Sept 30th. Anyone seen it? Got any idea what might be in it? Why the f-ck is the House taking a month long vacation without getting their work done?

Dems ready to negotiate. Rs remain on vacation.

Trump’s budget hands billions in tax cuts to the ultra-rich—while cutting Medicaid, food assistance, and education for working families.

This isn’t just policy. It’s values on display.
