So Johnson’s vision is to cut health care for the neediest and most vulnerable, cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy, and then cut the government’s ability to check whether the super-rich pay even those smaller tax bills. Got it.

This last IRS cut is the most galling. One estimate suggests that the deficit may grow by $500 billion due to the DOGE/Trump assault on the IRS. That’s $500 billion *in one year.*

On the one hand, Trump publicly saying he doesn’t know anything about what is going on besides what he’s being told might be a lie to try and shift the buck but on the other the evidence for “he is not actually mentally competent to run the country” is getting stronger by the day
Easy to be flippant, but Trump going on the record to tell the media he is not in control of his govt and is being misinformed by advisors. Someone else is running the country.
