This is really terrific. Do yourself a favor and watch
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Yes, the GOP budget guts Medicaid, SNAP and gives more tax breaks to the mega-rich — but it also:
- Lets Big Oil buy public land to drill
- 10 year ban on state AI regulations
- Tax break on gun silencers
- Restricts funding to nonprofits
- Defunds women's health organizations

Cutting the deficit was never really on the table, taking care of the rich folks was always the goal, no matter what it takes. If it means millions lose their health care, so be it. Trump added $8T to the deficit his first term, the largest increase ever, and will gladly add more without a thought.
The House GOP budget imposes austerity on those who need help—not to improve the budget deficit (it makes it worse), but to redistribute your money to those who need it least. It’s the reverse Robin Hooding of America.
