Here's what everyone should know about the latest version of the OBBA. I don't expect the House to produce something that improves on these metrics meaningfully, and there's a good chance they'll make it worse.

Whoever thought that the Senate would reign in some of the fiscal irresponsibility of the House was badly mistaken.
The Senate looks poised to make it worse.

Not only are our policymakers being fiscally irresponsible, they're being dishonest with the American public about how irresponsible they're being.

The top income decile will see increases of 2.3% ($12,000), largely due to tax cuts.

Luckily, they weren't hurt, but the experience of a missile strike nearby was traumatic for them, to say the least. Her husband Anatoliy's office, located across the street from where the first rocket hit, suffered damage from the blast wave, as did many other buildings.
