How are they planning to restrict American visas for American citizens? Because looking at what’s hitting the news, it’s quite apparent that the biggest censor of American citizens is this government.

Protection Squadron.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t new in the US either.

I guess Trump won’t take it easy and will double down; or he will do some other bad things.

Hang on, wasn’t the whole argument by Trump and his cronnies that Musk wasn’t part of the administration and was just a special advisor?

For a good 10 year period one of the most common Republican attacks was to condemn Pelosi for wanting to pass the Obamacare bill without having read it. That was not at what she said, but it became one of those things “everyone knows” she said. “We’re going to have to pass the bill for you to find out what is in it” was her comment. Her point is that the bill had been publicly debated in congress for months. It was available for anyone to read. The smears and attacks from the GOP about what the bill would do have been addressed, factually, and the bill is available for anyone to read for themselves. Her point was that if you still believe there will be Death Panels then you are someone who is just not going to do the work and the only way you will understand they dont exist is once they pass the bill and you experience the effects.

Now here is a Republican congressman talking about not knowing what the bill what actually do…because the bill was too big and his priority was a party line vote rather than learning the details of what his vote would mean

Between Trump’s irritation at the TACO trade comment and losing the court case about his authority, I expect absolutely incoherent trade policy over the next couple of weeks. Embedded in the ‘big beautiful’ bill is some capacity for Admin officials to ignore court rulings, so there will probably be a press to get it through the Senate
