Honestly it's funny that he is *quite literally* saying "deregulate and reduce the burden of taxation on business to create jobs" and nobody on the left will criticise him. Good.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
Some changes that they can look forward to:

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

📣 Caveat: This is not an endorsement of Sen. McMorrow; I'm a big fan of both her as well as Rep. Stevens.
Having said that, as someone who has personally raised over $21 million for hundreds of Democrats via *small individual* donors over the past few cycles, I want to underscore her point here: 1/

I’m not accepting a dime of corporate PAC money.
Why?
We need to rebuild trust in our politics. And the people you serve shouldn’t wonder who you really work for.

Trump says the drug kingpin he just pardoned “has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly.”
In other words, Trump has no idea who this guy is. It seems possible, though, that someone’s beak got dampened.

Trump betrayed Ukraine, secretly colluded with Russians against Europe, and has a secret line with the Kremlin outside of official overview, hidden from everyone including US spy / national security agencies. These are the reddest of flags. A spy sits at the White House.

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.
The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

And then you throw a public party on every July 4th? Every national holiday? Where the public is invited by lottery and the food is free. Maybe one of them is a potluck. And the President has to come serve the public.
If they ever get around to building this thing, it should be bulldozed on Day 1 of a new administration. No messing around, no hemming and hawing about procedure or costs. Order heavy equipment in and start knocking it down immediately, as surely as an overthrown tyrant's statues would be torn down.
Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
