Elon Musk Trump-Republicans just voted to add trillions to the deficit, but let's be honest, that's nothing new for GOP. The Reagan, Bush, and Trump I tax cut bills added $10.4 trillion to the deficit. The new betrayals are of Trump's 2024 promises to "forgotten Americans" and his oath.

AG AG's own chart shows that Obamacare stopped the growth of healthcare as a percentage of household expenses, which is what it was supposed to do. The result? Savings to federal budget b/n 2010 and 2034 estimated by CBO to be $1.7T versus pre-ACA baseline. co-equal.org/legislative-re…

So, Elon Musk says: "This is the final straw" But is it really? Is there anything from Trump that MAGA won't swallow? For example, if Trump declared Musk his best friend again tomorrow, wouldn't MAGA get on board, despite Musk bashing OBBB and saying Trump on Epstein list?

This is getting lost. When Stephen Miller shrieks orders for 3000 daily arrests, they HAVE TO go after noncriminals. It's the only way to juice the numbers. So Miller is shifting resources away from serious crimes toward that. Garrett M. Graff and me on this: newrepublic.com/article/197676…

Who had "Roger Stone and Elon Musk team up against Steve Bannon and add jet fuel to the Epstein story while Trump is trying to wave MAGA press off Epstein" on their 2025 Bingo cards?

Republicans’ Billionaire Tax Scam steals from working families to give even more money to the super rich. It’s the most regressive legislation in modern US history. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
