Why would Trump say that releasing a list of pedophiles is an act of “hostility” against him? I can think of only one answer…

A NEW REPORT just revealed that the Big Beautiful Bill is even worse than we thought.
It'll rip away health care from 16 MILLION Americans, just so Jeff Bezos can buy a third yacht.

This made me laugh out loud- a rare occurrence these days when looking at govt websites. I was looking up the status of a bill in Massachusetts (where cod is the state fish) and must have made a typo, because this screen popped up.

Social Security isn’t the third rail of American politics any more
Team Trump seems to have concluded that Social Security is no longer the “third rail of American politics” — that they can touch it and live to tell the tale. It will be up to voters to prove them …

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Fact check: that’s not why millions of people are “mad” at Elon.
Classic MAGA straw man.
The far right is afraid to debate because they can’t defend a deranged gazillionaire illegally dismantling important government functions without transparency or oversight.

I'm all for going after waste, fraud, and abuse. The Department of Defense spends $800+ billion a year. It's never passed a single audit. Ever.
USAID was audited three months ago.
Is Elon scared to lose all the defense contract money he pockets from the Pentagon?

Russell Vought is on the cusp of confirmation to lead OMB, where he could gut the civil service and social safety net.
He's also the mastermind behind Project 2025, which Trump once disavowed but has so far followed to a tee during his second term.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Reminder that the estimated cost of extending the Trump tax cuts is at least $5 trillion — more than twice the amount DOGE originally stated it would cut in “wasteful” government spending.
