What Will It Cost to Renovate the โ€˜Freeโ€™ Air Force One? Donโ€™t Ask.

Such bull that Trump wants to save us money. As for the cost to renovate the free plane from Qatar, โ€œthe price tag has been classified.
Which may explain why no one wants to discuss a mysterious, $934 million transfer of fundsโ€ฆโ€

Despicable! What happened after July 5th is that DHS Kristy (Barbie) took control of the purse strings and fired hundreds of contract FEMA workers. People desperately seeking assistance couldnโ€™t reach anyone. Texas needs to go BLUE.

Senate Republicans seek tougher Medicaid cuts and lower SALT deduction in Trump's big bill Senate Republicans are proposing deeper Medicaid cuts, including new work requirements for parents of teens, as a way to offset the costs of making President Donald Trumpโ€™s tax breaks more permanent.

Their priorities are totally f*ucked up. The wealthiest Americans would get the biggest tax cuts while the poorest will see an annual tax increase of $1600. Also, as of today, they are proposing deeper cuts to Medicaid!๐Ÿ–•๐ŸปBig Beautiful Bill
