Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

You Can’t appease Trump, you have to just push back
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

No revenues but at the same time people here are curtailing their purchases and investments, and other countries *are* collecting tariffs on U.S. imports. The worst of all worlds!
Only a stable genius could have accomplished all this!!

Trump's tariffs have taken our economy from the envy of the world to a laughingstock. Congress has the chance to stop him by passing my bipartisan bill. Let's get this done.

Trump circumvented Congress on tariffs by declaring a Fentanyl emergency. A handful of Republicans in Congress can stop the tariffs by joining with Democrats. Call your electeds and tell them.

Walz: "For him to mock them and to say this about Canada, that they're nasty people. The thing I think that has to start to set in and I would argue that happened in Wisconsin is that there's buyer's remorse. Nobody signed up to insult the Canadians and drive up potash prices."

This is what fascism looks like, folks
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

"Most people, including a lot of journalists, don’t understand what an executive order even is. It’s not a law or even a quasi-law. An executive order is really just a memo from the president to his staff..."

The Trump administration is now ordering massive cuts to the Social Security Administration.
This could effectively block millions of Americans from getting the benefits they have earned.
