The budget bill passed by the GOP did not extend the tax credits for ACA subsidies. This means the subsidies disappear at the end of this year, raising the cost of insurance by over 100%
No money, they said
They DID, however extend tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations

Trump's will is not inevitable
The majority of lawsuits filed against his administration have successfully blocked his policies

Trump's proposed 50-year mortgages are a scam that benefits only lenders
With a 50-year mortgage, the buyer of a $400K home will have paid over $1 million in interest, compared to $493K for a 30-year mortgage
The monthly payments are not that much cheaper - $2481 vs. $2346 for a 50-year loan

THIS is why they are willing to overlook fascism and cruelty

Trump does not care about the suffering he causes Americans
During the shutdown he:
*Bulldozed the East Wing
*Cut SNAP benefits
*Admitted importers pass on the cost of tariffs to consumers
*Announced curbs on air travel
*Participated in a Great Gatsby–style party at Mar-a-Lago.”

One thing I could not understand is how returns on stocks could be so good under Trump when the rest of the economy seems to be deteriorating.

I don't care as much about individual Dems as I do about the Democratic agenda
If some "squishy" Dems are not prepared to fight, let's primary them (looking at you, Schumer, Fetterman)
We need Dems who are not afraid of power and are willing to use it
@rokhanna.bsky.social is one of them

The prize for doublespeak goes to Trump’s pathetic Solicitor General John Sauer
When Justices suggested that Trump’s tariffs infringe on Congress’s right to levy taxes, Sauer declared “they are not revenue-raising tariffs”
That’s an impossible position because of Trump's own social media posts

From G. Elliott Morris in Strength in Numbers - the best explanation I have seen for why Dems won big last night:
"[T]he best explanation for 2025 is that voters didn’t know what they were getting with Trump 2.0 last November, but now they do — and they don’t like it."

It looks like the GOP is out of touch with most Americans
While they insist that prices are down and the economy is doing great, we know those are lies
I guess when people are struggling to pay the bills, they just don't care as much about "illegal aliens"

Trump's party at Mar a Lago wasn't just "tone deaf"
It was a celebration by Trump of the suffering he has inflicted on millions of Americans, from those about to lose SNAP benefits to family farmers going bankrupt to federal workers working without pay
He thinks he can get away with it
