GOP budget talks are breaking down because they can’t agree on legislation that starts killing their voters immediately or delays it until 2029, when a different president will take the fall for it.
The impasse is over timing. Not the crime.

It's pretty common for presidents to receive weird gifts and then transfer them to their presidential library. But those gifts then sit in glass display cases, outside the control or use of the ex-president.
Does anyone think this jet will sit on display in a library in Mar-a-Lago?

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!”

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

Trump reduced British auto tariffs to benefit luxury carmakers like Rolls Royce.
Meanwhile, the costs of essential goods like strollers, medications, and clothing are skyrocketing.
So the rest of America has to go without but he's happy to help his rich friends buy luxury cars?

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.
In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.
Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

Of the American voters who are alleged to be upset about immigration, how many of them are upset because ...
a) their life has been directly impacted in some way by illegal immigrants,
vs.
b) they're immersed in a media system working relentlessly to active their fear, ignorance, & xenophobia?

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.
Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts.
And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B.
We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.
