Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but maybe just maybe, bragging about kicking people off food stamps while telling them to pay for a billion dollar ballroom at the same time is a losing electoral strategy.
But what do I know.

Can we move on from ‘hoping and praying’ to actually, I don’t know, doing something?
Sen. Ron Johnson: "I am hoping and praying that President Trump is, that this really is bluster. I do not want to see us start blowing up civilian infrastructure. I do not want to see that. We are not at war with the Iranian people. We are trying to liberate them."

Well alright then. He’s just admitting it.
Trump: I won't use the word war because they say if you use the word war, that's maybe not a good thing to do. They don't like the word war because you are supposed to get approval. So I will use the word military operation.

A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.
Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a year after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M.

Forcing homeless vets into warehouse institutions - great idea. Especially as we feed folks currently in the services into the line of fire for Epstein’s War (or is it Schroedinger’s war?).

🚨 The Trump admin just gave VA lawyers power to initiate FORCED GUARDIANSHIP over homeless veterans — stripping them of legal autonomy and forcing them into institutions. Nearly 33,000 veterans are unhoused in America. This is despicable.
