Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Republicans have tried to repeal the ACA over 70 times over the last 15 years. They've had 15 years to come up with a replacement plan.
15 years later? They have no plan.
And today they voted to spike healthcare premiums for over half a million Michiganders.

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

This is one of the last steps in Trump's push to becoming a king. When he controls the regulators, there is no one left to protect interests of the American people.

Trump is asking Scotus for unchecked power to purge “independent” regulators at will. If he wins, the FTC, FEC, FCC, NLRB all become partisan weapons he can bend to his will. This is a direct attack on the guardrails that keep presidents from ruling by decree.

The Hernández pardon created “a tremendous disincentive for [overseas] prosecutors, police, judges and governments to take on the risk of investigating and assisting the extradition of officials who may be released arbitrarily by the US president”, said Ricardo Zúñiga, a former senior US state department official who focuses on Latin America.
