"#Conservative economist Jessica Riedl discusses the impact of #Trump’s tariffs and trade deals, the cost of his tax cuts, and potential entitlement reforms. She assesses the #Republican Party’s shift toward populism and the threat posed by rising debt."

The funniest part is where senator Josh Hawley who voted for the so-called '#bigbeautifulbill' has introduced legislation to block the very #MedicaidCuts he voted for.

"On the anniversary of the ratification of the Americans with Disabilities Act, join the local disabled community and allies for an educational event highlighting the intersectionality of disability rights advocacy. The Disability Justice Resistance Fair will be a connection point for people who care about their disabled community and are trying to make a difference.

"There will be tabling by organizations leading #MutualAid efforts in Maine and those fighting for marginalized groups and causes that overlap with Disability Justice.

"Come enjoy food and music, while engaging in workshops and learning more about local efforts to protect our neighbors from the devastating attacks on #healthcare, #HumanRights and the dignity of all people.

"It’s all connected…and we are too.

I watched the launches of 3 campaigns for the Republican nomination for governor of South Carolina recently.
