Surely, I thought, this is a holdover from last night. But no. At the time, it said the Xweet...
I think the “Big Beautiful Bill” is a disgrace. It’s not that there is nothing that is good in it–there is much that is. It’s just that it doesn’t address the most pressing issues.

A budget bill, long touted by Donald Trump as the “big, beautiful bill” hit a roadblock on Friday when lawmakers from the president’s own party voted against it in congress. Five Republicans joined all Democrats in delivering a stunning setback to President Trump’s domestic agenda, demanding deeper budget cuts. Trump, who has muscled through close...
Verminous, lame-dumb cluck New Jersey governor Phil Murphy – he of the rodential, yellow-fanged overbite, off-shore wind obsession, and illegal migrant home sanctuary – was in an expansive mood at the end of April. He got to participate in a bit of performative theatrics that allowed the Green grift-addicted chief executive to pretend he gave...
Embedded in the House GOP’s advancing reconciliation package is a major, long-sought victory for school privatization advocates that would let rich funders of vouchers avoid taxation, a change that opponents warned would supercharge the right-wing assault on public education. The measure, which resembles the GOP-authored Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA), was tucked into the...
“This is absolutely unprecedented, what they’re trying to do here,” one law professor said of the bill. Texas’s State Senate has passed an anti-abortion bill that seeks to punish anyone who distributes abortion medication with huge fines — and it includes a provision forbidding any state court from reviewing its constitutionality. Senate Bill 2880 allows...
