Dear Democrats, if you want to stand out in Texas, do what the state is not doing and help individuals in Kerrville

The GOP just keeps sinking lower and lower. Just when you think they have found the bottom of the barrel they find a worse slimy excuse for a human.

How Conservative Christians Cracked a 70-Year-Old Law

This ITR ruling has made it official that churches are really political organizations. It is now legal for churches to endorse candidates. This breaks down the wall of the church state division. We are moving closer to autocracy.

Trump has overestimated his power. Firing Powell would throw our nation’s monetary policy into chaos, create further credit downturns and spur panic. Trump’s true power is nothing compared to Jerome Powell and small minded, incompetent Trump hates that.

For Trump, Domestic Adversaries Are Not Just Wrong, They Are β€˜Evil’

NEVER has the USA had such an EVIL freak at its forefront. Trump whose incompetence is undeniable has no moral compass and such low self esteem he must lash out at ANYONE who dare disagree with him. Adding DEMENTIA makes him completely unfit for anything. Remove him.

Let’s keep the heat on this administration about the Epstein files. Too many published photos have shown Trump enjoying the company of underaged girls. This needs to be told. Maybe some of his followers will finally realize the man has no moral compass.

GOP tax bill includes a $6,000 senior deduction. Here’s who qualifies.
Senior Citizens are getting excited about this aspect of Trump’s BBB but it will only impact middle income seniors. Low incomers make too little to qualify. Of course, no Republican is going to be honest about these particulars.

The Narrowing of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan’s Philanthropy

Are we seeing what was behind the curtain all along or is monstrous wealth warping the mindset/hearts of today’s ultra rich? Chan/Zuck have gone full on Trump closing charitable initiatives that were liberal based, scrubbing DEI from their programs. Wealth corrupts.

For journalists following me, the House came in at $3.798 trillion in cost, and the Senate came in at β€œonly” $441 billion of cost.

But the Senate told JCT to pretend that $3.760 trillion was free.

On an apples-to-apples basis, the Senate costs $4.201 trillion, $403 billion more.

Once again the US Constitution has no meaning to Autocrat Trump. He is not protecting US. He’s playing a power game and our military is his pawn. US can’t be bothered with Ukraine but Trump’s second heart throb Bebe needed to be impressed at the cost of US taxpayers.

Live Updates: Trump Claims Success After Bombing Key Iran Nuclear Sites

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...
No surprise. Trump and his incompetent trio felt that the bombing of Iran would be a great deflection move for his disastrous budget bill. Nothing says we can’t afford to give Medicaid to millions of Americans by spending hundreds of millions on war. Bebe is loving T.

Remember the wonderful Biden economy. Last January, the expected US economic growth was 2.5-3%.
But now we have the Trump economy.
Yesterday, the US Fed cut its US growth forecast from 1.7% to 1.4%, but it is likely to fall further.
Trump & his supporters are to blame.

Such important information. We are so much better to know how the mega rich use their hard earned money to ingratiate themselves. It truly makes one wonder, do the rich have an empathy? Do the have any desire to help those whose lives are filled with daily grind with no betterment in sight? πŸ˜‚

An Interview With Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan

He also said, again, that ICE is prioritizing criminals and arrest other undocumented people if they happen to come across them. But he also confirmed that they want to deport 3K people a day, which is impossible if you're just seeking out violent criminals.
