Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law:
- Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP
- Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Has anyone pointed out that Trump doesn't seem to know the difference between a trade deficit and a budget deficit

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

Correct. It’s really more of a hijacking than a coup.
This is not just a coup and a Constitutional crisis. It is a national security catastrophe for the United States from which there is no assurance we will ever fully recover. Not hyperbole. If foreign enemies had landed troops on our shores it’s unlikely they would’ve done as much damage as fast.

Does the new deal w Colombia address this at all ?
Yes, the deportees were in shackles. The crime they committed was having no documentation. That is not violent criminals.

Last year, more than 8K murders were committed in the US by American citizens. 29 were committed by illegal immigrants. Trump, using Hitler's Playbook, has demonized immigrants.

Netanyahu is going to delay the cease fire deal that he’s about to announce.
So that it happens when Trump is in office or just before.
So it looks like Trump did it.
Because that’s the SECRET BARGAIN they made back at the illegal summit they had at Mar-a-Lago last summer.

Many Americans voted for a billionaire who now wants to hire his wealthy friends like Scott Bessent. Bessent is worth $525 million and thinks that $7.25 an hour is a living wage.

Trump’s Treasury nominee Scott Bessent, worth $525 million, thinks $7.25 an hour is just fine for everyone else. Must be nice to have no concept of what a paycheck feels like.

Pretty clear where this is going ….
Padilla: Will you defend birthright citizenship as the law of the land?
Bondi: I will study birthright citizenship
Padilla: You're asking to be considered for Attorney General and you still need to study the 14th Amendment of the Constitution?

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

The richest man on the planet could probably solve child cancer himself using less money than he burned destroying Twitter.
Instead, he used his influence to strip $190 million from the budget for pediatric cancer research.
