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.

In her first week, Biden FTC Chair Lina Khan pledged to "protect the public from corporate abuse."
In his first week, Trump FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson announced that "DEI is over" at the agency.
One agenda to protect people.
The other to distract from corporate plunder.

So if there’s another listeria outbreak, CDC can’t tell the public about it?
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.
