In 2017, Trump gave a $2 trillion tax cut mostly sucked up by billionaires and big corporations.
But it was so expensive, Republicans set many of their tax cuts to end after 2025.
Now, Republicans want to steal from working people to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

In plain English: Republicans in Congress plot more severe budget cuts to health care, nursing homes, and school lunches to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk.
It sounds absurd, but itβs true.

Democratic senators say they have 'grave concerns' over RFK Jr.'s potential financial conflicts
Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden called on the HHS nominee to vow to recuse himself from certain decisions and promise not to profit from health litigation after leaving the post.
Let me get this straight: RFK Jr.βs idea of fixing his ethics issues is to hand his stake over to his son? The son who works at the same law firm that RFK Jr. made millions off of?
RFK Jr.'s nomination should not move forward one inch until we get answers.

Elon Muskβs Team Now Has Full Access to Treasuryβs Payments System
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Muskβs representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.
Itβs alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.Β
Β
He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
Β
Congress must investigate.

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyoneβs prices won voters most concerned about high prices.
We hammered this time and time again and yet.

Trumpβs tariffs are a tax increase for Minnesota families, plain and simple.
While Trump raises prices, Iβm proposing the first sales tax rate cut in our stateβs history to help Minnesotans weather the storm.

Trump signs order imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China
American importers will pay a new 25-percent tax on goods from Canada and Mexico and a 10-percent levy on products from China.
Tariffs are an important strategic economic tool, but Trumpβs desire for a trade war with Canada and Mexico wonβt protect jobs, keep Americans safe, or bring down costs for families.
