Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

The GOP loves blaming the national debt on govt spending that helps millions of people.

What they won't tell you?

The real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich.

If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush & Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio.

Donald Trump’s attacks on courts “follow a clear pattern seen in backsliding democracies around the world,” writes Andrew O'Donohue. “To undermine public support for the judiciary, political leaders adopt policies that are popular but very likely illegal”:
Trump Is Baiting the Courts
The president is following a playbook that authoritarians around the world have used to assert their power over the judiciary’s.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

#OligarchEra 🇺🇸
Never lose sight of how weird and corrupt it is for the president to have his unelected, unconfirmed oligarch friend—his biggest campaign donor—conduct US foreign policy.

No other US president did that, and there’s no reason to think he’s representing the American people rather than himself.

WATCH: @aoc.bsky.social explains how the Republican bill will:

- Gut Medicaid
- Increase premiums for private health insurance
- Force rural hospitals to close

All to give a giant tax handout to billionaires.

Trump doesn't have “conflicts of interest” anymore.

A “conflict of interest” sounds like an unfortunate situation where Trump might choose his own interests over the nation’s.

But Trump isn’t conflicted about anything.

He's the most corrupt president in American history.
