The White House's take on the bill

Myth vs. Fact: The One Big Beautiful Bill​

The White House
June 29, 2025

MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill is “just a tax break for billionaires.”

FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers the largest middle- and working-class tax cut in U.S. history. The President’s legislation will put more than $10,000 a year back in the pockets of typical hardworking families. This is the most pro-growth, pro-worker, pro-family legislation ever crafted.

I don't think any US journalist has written as tough (and spot-on) a portrayal of the threat facing us as this Canadian, Andrew Coyne of the Toronto Globe and Mail. If you read to the end, you will be rewarded with the most flattering photograph yet of the convicted-felon-in-chief:

“Nothing mattered, in the end. Not the probable dementia, the unfathomable ignorance, the emotional incontinence; not, certainly, the shambling, hate-filled campaign, or the ludicrously unworkable anti-policies.

The candidate out on bail in four jurisdictions, the convicted fraud artist, the adjudicated rapist and serial sexual predator, the habitual bankrupt, the stooge of Vladimir Putin, the man who tried to overturn the last election and all of his creepy retinue of crooks, ideologues and lunatics: Americans took a long look at all this and said, yes please.

There is no sense in understating the depth of the disaster. This is a crisis like no other in our lifetimes. The government of the United States has been delivered into the hands of a gangster, whose sole purpose in running, besides staying out of jail, is to seek revenge on his enemies. The damage Donald Trump and his nihilist cronies can do – to America, but also to its democratic allies, and to the peace and security of the world – is incalculable. We are living in the time of Nero.

The first six months will be a time of maximum peril. NATO must from this moment be considered ....

AccuWeather estimates Texas floods will cost at least $18 billion​

The Hill Country tragedy could rank among the most expensive in recent state history.​

The floods that devastated Texas’ Hill Country over the weekend will also result in a hefty economic toll, according to new data released Monday.

The natural disaster that killed at least 84 in Kerr County represents a total projected economic cost between $18 billion and $22 billion, a preliminary estimate from AccuWeather shows.

Along with immediate damage to homes and businesses, the cost of search and rescue operations is also likely to mount, the private forecasting company noted, while the disaster will also likely negatively impact everything from the area’s tourism industry to regional supply chains.

The estimate also includes predicted insurance claims and long-term physical and mental health costs for survivors, among other factors.

“This is the latest disaster in an area with a long and tragic history of deadly and destructive flash floods,” Jonathan Porter, AccuWeather’s chief meteorologist, said in a statement.

He added that damage “will have long-lasting economic impacts in the Hill Country region.”

The $18 billion forecast comes as analysts have also pointed to Texas’ unique susceptibility to the ravages of extreme weather. The Lone Star State leads the nation in property damage linked to natural disasters, according to ....

A look at some of the worst floods in US history, from Hurricane Katrina to dam disasters​

The devastation in Texas Hill Country isn't the first time Americans have mourned the victims of deadly floodwaters.​

The devastating flooding in Texas Hill Country has shocked and scared the nation, with Americans from coast to coast waiting for news from ongoing rescue efforts.

Dozens of people have died – including young campers and counselors from an area summer camp – as floodwaters destroyed parts of central Texas. Unrelenting rain quickly changed the region's terrain: In Kerrville, Texas, a gauge measured the Guadalupe River's waters at less than a foot on July 3 to more than 34 feet in the early hours of July 4.

This was far from the first time Americans have mourned the victims of deadly floods. Here's what to know about some of the worst flooding events in American history, in order of most lives lost.

Now it seems those Epstein files do exist but will never be released because they're child porn

=========================================
CO: One thing seems clear, President Trump had zero interest in addressing lingering unanswered questions today about his DoJ's investigation into Jeffery Epstein and seemed genuinely annoyed that he was asked

Not exactly the reaction that CO would have expected.....
===========================
"Reporter: "Your memo and release yesterday on Jeffrey Epstein - it left some lingering mysteries. I guess one is whether he ever worked for an American or foreign intelligence agency. The former labor secretary, who was Miami US Attorney Alex Acosta - he allegedly said he did work for an intelligence agency. So can you resolve whether or not he did..."

To which Trump responded : "Are you still talking about ....

Trump threatens federal takeover of NYC if ‘communist’ Zohran Mamdani wins mayoral race​

By Steven Nelson

WASHINGTON — President Trump threatened Tuesday to use federal power to seize control of New York City if “communist” Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor.

“If a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same. But we have tremendous power at the White House to run places where we have to,” Trump told The Post during ....

Poor diaper don.

It turns out you can’t bully your way out of decline, but that hasn’t stopped Donald Trump from trying. One letter at a time.

Last week, Trump scrawled a sharpie-penned note to a foreign entity, but today he escalated, publishing actual typed letters to countries like Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Laos, informing them they’d be getting a 25–40% tariff gift, effective August 1. These letters, hilariously identical in their copy-paste tone, were paraded on Truth Social for “transparency” while markets tanked in response. It’s as if the President of the United States discovered Mail Merge and decided to treat international trade like sending out save-the-dates for a tacky wedding no one wants to attend.

The markets, predictably, did not appreciate the performance. The Dow slid, investors panicked, and manufacturers braced for rising costs on the goods they actually need to keep America functioning. But Trump’s regime insists this is “winning,” or at least “helping,” because the tariffs are bringing in “revenue.” They forget to mention it’s revenue from Americans, paying more for their cars, groceries, and everything else that crosses a border before it hits your shopping cart. A tariff, as Richard Wolff might remind them, is not a sign of strength; it’s a sign of desperation. The economic equivalent of selling the floorboards of your house for firewood, just to stay warm one more winter while the roof caves in.

Trump promised 90 trade deals in 90 days. What we got was zero deals, two vague “frameworks,” and a global supply chain stuck in limbo because no one wants to bet billions on a man who changes deadlines on a whim—or a country that can’t stop tripping over its own delusions of grandeur. Japan isn’t rolling over, South Korea isn’t rolling over, and even Vietnam, a country Trump courted with golf courses and bulldozed cemeteries—refuses to play along. Meanwhile, ....

Annnnnnnd.... he walked it back. AGAIN.

There will be NO amnesty for farm workers.

Twice, now, he has gotten applause and cheers at speeches for saying he is going to "leave the farms alone" and have farm owners "vouch" for their long-time workers.
The second time was on July 3rd in Iowa. But Tuesday at his Cabinet meeting (only the 6th one since he was inaugurated) he made it clear this would NOT happen. Instead, he echoed his agriculture head, Brooke Rollins, and said that deportations would simply become more "strategic".

Suuuuuuuuuuure. Kristi Noem got to him again. Steve Miller whispers in one ear, and she is constantly at his side, whispering in the other.

Her entire purpose in life is to look good, and she is not going to meet her own quotas if her ICE gangs miss out on picking all THAT low hanging fruit. Big open fields with nowhere to hide? Easy targets.

Not like having to actually chase down and battle REAL armed gangs in cities. Someone might get HURT. Why go through .....

More on the Texas floods and MAGA's reaction

July 8, 2025 (Tuesday)
One hundred and eleven people are dead and more than 160 are still missing in Texas after Friday’s tragic flood.

“‘[W]ho’s to blame?’” Texas governor Greg Abbott repeated back to a reporter. “That’s the word choice of losers.” “Every football team makes mistakes,” he continued, referring to Texas’s popular sport. “The losing teams are the ones that try to point out who’s to blame. The championship teams are the ones that say, ‘Don’t worry about it, ma’am, we’ve got this.’”

Abbott’s defensive answer reveals the dilemma MAGA Republicans find themselves in after the cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service that came before the Texas disaster. Scott Calvert, John West, Jim Carlton, and Joe Barrett of the Wall Street Journal reported that after a deadly flood in 1987, officials in Kerr County applied for a grant to install a flood warning system, but their application was denied. They considered installing one paid for by the county but decided against it. Then county commissioner Tom Moser told the reporters: “It was probably just, I hate to say the word, priorities. Trying not to raise taxes.”

Since 1980, Republican politicians have won voters by promising to cut taxes they claimed funded wasteful programs for women and racial and ethnic minorities. Cutting government programs would save money, they said, enabling hardworking Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money. But leaders recognized that Republican voters actually depended on government programs, so they continued to fund them even as they passed tax cuts that moved more than $50 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.

Now, in Trump’s second term, MAGA Republicans are turning Republican rhetoric into reality, forcing Americans to grapple with what those cuts really mean for their lives.
Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for ....

I think that Texas voters should understand that the GOP pushed to reduce FEMA funding and the GOP denied other states FEMA funding. Maybe don’t vote for a party that seems to want to not only kill you but also destroy your shit and leave you destitute.

That said, not all Texans deserve to be treated the way their elected representatives voted to treat other states.
