In the last 40 years the only party that cut the deficit is the Democrats. That's true whether you believe it or not. Raise taxes on the top and the math "magically" works, but Republicans want to give the top more tax cuts.
This bill also removes a $200 tax on gun silencers that has been in effect since 1932.
Your gun silencer is cheaper but you lose Medicaid. How nice. Priorities.

⚖️ Montana just became the first U.S. state to ban law enforcement from purchasing personal data from brokers — and it’s a privacy milestone 🚫📱
Under this new law:
📍 Government agencies can’t buy sensitive data (location, biometrics, etc.) without a warrant
🔍 It closes a major loophole used to sidestep Fourth Amendment protections
📄 Agencies also can’t require people to waive rights through service terms
🧱 It sets a precedent for digital due process in a data-saturated world
This isn’t just a state law. It’s a model for what digital civil liberties legislation should look like nationwide.

#Trump didn’t make the numerous #trade deals he promised were in the works. Instead he says the US will send "letters" w/ #tariffs.
In reality he made 2 deals. 1 w/ %Britain which is not legally binding. The other w/ #China which is just a deal to keep talking.
Trump claimed Friday that the #US will set tariff rates for its trading partners within the next few weeks. He claimed his admin cannot negotiate trade deals w/ all countries at once because there are so many.

Trump Says US Will Set Tariff Rates for Other Nations in Weeks
President Donald Trump said he would set tariff rates for US trading partners “over the next two to three weeks,” saying his administration lacks the capacity to negotiate deals with all of its trading partners.Jennifer A Dlouhy (Bloomberg)
“I think we’re going to be very fair. But it’s not possible to meet the number of people that want to see us,” #Trump said during a meeting w/ business executives in the UAE.
Trump said #Treasury Secy #ScottBessent & #Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick “will be sending letters out essentially telling people” what “they’ll be paying to do business in the United States.”
The #US & #China paused most #tariffs for 90 days & sent markets into temporary & misguided euphoria on Monday, after last week's announced #trade deal w/ the #UK.
China’s state-backed Global Times said Friday the 90-day US tariff truce is too short & should be extended. Analysts say China seeks flexibility, as tariffs may return after the truce.
*Talks* continue in #SouthKorea, but #Trump's tariffs are likely to stay high beyond the 90-day pause.
So, where I would slightly finesse this is the thing about 'midterm unpopularity' is: it is important to ask yourself 'why are you unpopular, and why will it be better at the end of the parliament?' It's very rare that a government is well-positioned to be popular in midterm *and* at the end.

The image is a black and white photograph of a steam locomotive, specifically focusing on the front section. The locomotive is marked with the number "X4005" prominently displayed on a sign above the large, round boiler. The number "4005" is also visible on a sign in front of the headlight. The headlight is large and circular, mounted on a metal frame with a protective railing. The boiler is metallic with rivets visible around its circumference. The locomotive is situated in a large, industrial space with a metal roof and visible structural beams. The image captures the intricate details of the locomotive's design, including pipes, valves, and other mechanical components. The overall composition highlights the robust and industrial nature of the steam engine.

Sono quelli provenienti dall’Alta Sicurezza, la sezione del carcere riservata a persone condannate per alcuni tipi di reati associativi in cui si è normalmente sottoposti a una sorveglianza più stretta: non lavorano più in redazione per via di una recente circolare sulla gestione di questa categoria di detenuti diffusa dal Dipartimento dell’amministrazione penitenziaria (DAP), l’ufficio del ministero della Giustizia che si occupa di carceri
