Trump was at the Capitol yesterday, trying to button hole support for the disaterous budget. He uses intimidation. His bill continues to punish blue states, despite the fact that many Republicans, and many if not most of his donors live in them.
Reps. Mike Lawler (NY-17), Nick LaLota (NY-01), Andrew Garbarino (NY-02), Tom Kean Jr. (NJ-07), and Young Kim (CA-40) want an increased SALT deduction. Whether the SALT issue is enough for them to actually oppose is left to be seen, but this may be an opening.
I've been writing about the Medicare aspect.
From Heather Cox Richardson: "...12 swing-state Republicans who don’t want drastic Medicaid cuts, and 31 hardliners who do. House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) can afford to lose only three Republican votes on the measure. Nicole Lafond of Talking Points Memo reported today that Trump will go to Capitol Hill tomorrow to talk Republicans into voting for the measure."
We need to encourage Don Bacon R. NE. and other Republicans who are standing up to Trump and MAGA Mike. He and Reps. David Valadao, R-Calif., Don Bacon, R-Neb., Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., Rob Bresnahan Jr., R-Pa., Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., Jen Kiggans, R-Va., Young Kim, R-Calif., Robert Wittman, R-Va., Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., and Jeff Hurd, R-Colo signed a letter:
“Many hospitals — particularly in rural and underserved areas — rely heavily on Medicaid funding, with some receiving over half their revenue from the program alone,” the representatives wrote. “Providers in these areas are especially at risk of closure, with many unable to recover. When hospitals close, it affects all constituents, regardless of healthcare coverage.”
Besides the Medicaid issue, Republican Reps have called out Trump/Musk on national security and tariffs.
On MSNBC Saturday, Velshi asked Bacon about tariffs. He said, in essence, any Reagan Republican would remove Trump tariff authority. To do that, they need all of the House Dems.
Plus Bacon said Trump has a "moral blindscape" re Ukraine. Retired General. Russia is not a superpower. Mexico with nuclear weapons.
Says anyone who served has to oppose Hegseth, SIGNAL.
Says we are better than any other country in agriculture. Says Trump has broken free trade. In essence, we are losing the trade war
Thank you for your attention to those details. I read them too. SALT isn't going to be enough to stop this. Trump is too stupid to understand or even care that he is destroying the United States! He just wants to be dictator and get his $50 million dollar parade! He has dementia! You can see it plainly! Stephen Miller is propping him up, with the help of Musk and the Oligarchy! They stench of corruption follows the Trump administration everywhere it goes!
It only takes 3 House Republicans to send MAGA Mike packing.....
Here in Baghdad By the Sea the big issue is the SCOTUS approval of eliminating temporary status for Venezuelans. They are saying that many will be tortured, murdered if they have to return.

"Trump, the demented felon, and the MAGA Republicans, are rushing through their tax scam that adds at least $6 trillion to the deficit, cuts healthcare for 13 million Americans, cuts food stamps, and gives trillions in tax cuts for billionaires. I estimate that that the full impact of this ad scam will eventually increase the deficit by $20 trillion." Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
I notice Peter is still here. He has his own ‘Substack.’ What a joke. Full of vitriolic comments towards Meidastouch. What does one have to do to make him disappear? He has been doing this for months.
He’s just trolling about. From Comments here comments there comments everywhere.
I can’t take that kind of troll bs. Sometimes they can’t change up on their rhetoric so you can see where they are. It took me about 10 months but I got one out of the comments, not here, read a story scanned the comments found him or her again. Did that about 5 different times on different subjects. But he never changed up on his rhetoric. I didn’t have a clue about Substack until Dan Rather sent a email out. Then I came over here for true news.
They are losing the plot. This election was stolen and they are just making money over outrage. Not covering this is deplorable. Not covering Trump not being eligible to run in the first place is an omission I can’t forgive.
We can thank the SCOTUS SCROTUMS for that; they refused to even address his CO Supreme Court insurrection conviction; they only ruled against keeping him off the ballot. Put that together with Dobbs, the immunity ruling, etc., and here we are.
Thank you, MTN! Keep fightin’!

Understand one thing, the Trump goal IS to destroy the United States, the Constitution, and the democracy we follow.
Trump cares for nothing other than MONEY and POWER! Self reward at every turn!
He's a very sick and angry individual who is determined to destroy our constitutional way of life. He cares for nothing but himself.

Blue states need to #1 Leave the Union and form a Maggot free nation ...or.... #2 Join Canada and leave Maggot Red states behind
No!! Don't relegate those of us who cannot leave red states to imprisonment here!
Something has to give.......Let the fake Christian nationalists go off and do their thing.......read the Trump bible
As a Texan, think we ought to give it back to Mexico; and the Louisiana Purchase back to France.
Much more progressive government South of the border— and N’Orleans already has a certain “Je ne sais quoi”.

Agreed….that screed was beyond paranoia.
This is not a fucking ethics class in college. Put a fucking sock in it... what a bunc of blabber
So wrong you are. This is an ethics class. God gives it. It’s called Life.
Bugger off!!
I reported Peter to the moderators. Not prepared to listen to his dickery any more.
I notice Peter is still here. He has his own ‘Substack.’ What a joke. Full of vitriolic comments towards Meidastouch. What does one have to do to make him disappear? He has been doing this for months.
Who are you sending your message to?
Peter
Thanks! I thought it was to Daniel!!!!
Get off this! Put a sock in your sick mouth! You're not an American!
Peter may be an U.S.American, but can’t possibly claim to be a U.S.American Patriot because he doesn’t believe in our U.S.American Constitution.
And you are here ....... why?
COWARDS!!!
Perhaps Peter you should use autocorrect or try to learn to spell.
He’s just trolling about. From Comments here comments there comments everywhere.
I can’t take that kind of troll bs. Sometimes they can’t change up on their rhetoric so you can see where they are. It took me about 10 months but I got one out of the comments, not here, read a story scanned the comments found him or her again. Did that about 5 different times on different subjects.

Thank you Margaret.
Thank you
More than thank you! Bless You!
Ben, please stay safe and get some sleep and food. You are so important to us!
Ben is always there for us! God Bless him and keep him safe!
They are losing the plot. This election was stolen and they are just making money over outrage. Not covering this is deplorable. Not covering Trump not being eligible to run in the first place is an omission I can’t forgive.
The only folks who actually benefit from the Big Beautiful Bill are the top tenth of the top 1% of weathy Americans.
Should document it...broadcast it on MAGA media.
We can thank the SCOTUS SCROTUMS for that; they refused to even address his CO Supreme Court insurrection conviction; they only ruled against keeping him off the ballot. Put that together with Dobbs, the immunity ruling, etc., and here we are.
