Even with massive cuts to Medicaid & SNAP… even after slashing housing, and gutting public education…
Republicans’ $3.7 trillion tax cuts still add $2.4 trillion to the deficit. Our kids & grandkids will have the GOP to thank for the economic train wreck they will be left with.

Vance told Roberts that courts shouldn't check executive 'excesses'—then invoked Andrew Jackson's defiance of SCOTUS. The data shows Trump losing 96% of recent court cases across ideological lines. When lawlessness is your only path forward, attack the judges.
J. D. Vance Warns Courts to Get in Line
The Vice-President says it’s time for Chief Justice John Roberts to step in and make judges behave. He’s wrong.

The authoritarian script
The authoritarian script:
1) Court rules against leader
2) Attack judges as biased/dangerous
3) Delegitimize judicial system
4) Create permission for threats
5) IF NO MASS RESISTANCE → Purge the courts
6) IF MASS RESISTANCE → Forced to retreat

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
