We wanted higher remittance taxes and instead we got them slashed and lost the hearing protection act. I hate the GOP.

@elonmusk What is the DOE doing with more reliable, consistent base load sources such as coal, gas, and nuclear between now and 2030? This graph is not painting the complete picture….

Powell: Inflation Has Eased Significantly but Remains Somewhat Elevated is it somewhat less elevated than it was in Sept 2024 when you cut 50 bps to ram stocks higher into the election?

The U.S. government owns 640 million acres—nearly a third of all land in the U.S. Making a fraction of one percent of that land available for housing—land found in or next to existing residential developments—would help alleviate the housing shortage in federal-land states
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath

Here is an incredible proposal by @SenMikeLee. This would direct the US Government to sell land for the explicit purpose of increasing our housing supply. It includes the appropriate protections for National parks and the like. This is a no brainer win-win. US Government collects revenues they can direct to paying down our debt while increasing the supply of land that can help decrease housing prices and increase the number of homeowners. Pass this now!!

Mexico’s president has called on Mexican nationals in the United States to “mobilize”—to stop Congress from imposing a 3.5% tax on money sent from the U.S. to Mexico How should Congress respond?
Wall Street Mav@WallStreetMav

Mexico’s president calling for protests in the USA: “If necessary, we’ll mobilize. We don’t want taxes on remittances from our fellow countrymen. From the U.S. to Mexico.” The bill going thru Congress would tax at 3.5% all money sent to Mexico.

@SenRandPaul All platitudes, no substance. What, precisely, would you change about the bill? Please be specific - pages and lines would be fantastic.

I voted no on both impeachments. I voted for nearly all of Trump’s cabinet—just one exception. I backed his tax cuts in his first term. We can disagree and still be allies. But this bill raises the debt ceiling more than ever before in history. If Congress can’t even cut $9B of DOGE cuts, we’ve got a serious problem.

I am incredibly grateful to President Trump @POTUS, the Senate and all those who supported me throughout this journey. The past six months have been enlightening and, honestly, a bit thrilling. I have gained a much deeper appreciation for the complexities of government and the weight our political leaders carry. It may not always be obvious through the discourse and turbulence, but there are many competent, dedicated people who love this country and care deeply about the mission. That was on full display during my hearing, where leaders on both sides of the aisle made clear they’re willing to fight for the world’s most accomplished space agency. The President, NASA and the American people deserve the very best--an Administrator ready to reorganize, rebuild and rally the best and brightest minds to deliver the world-changing headlines NASA was built to create. I have not flown my last mission---whatever form that may ultimately take--but I remain incredibly optimistic that humanity’s greatest spacefaring days lie ahead. I’ll always be grateful for this opportunity and cheering on our President and NASA as they lead us on the greatest adventure in human history🇺🇸

It is impossible to overstate how exceptional and extraordinary the One Big Beautiful Bill truly is. It delivers enthusiastically on every major campaign promise in the 2024 landslide electoral mandate: —Largest tax cut and reform in history —No tax on tips and overtime —Massive tax cut for fixed-income Seniors —Interest on car loans fully tax deductible if the car is American —Fast-tracks new energy projects and provides protection against future regulation —Terminates Green New Deal —No welfare or gov’t healthcare for illegals —Ends waste, fraud and abuse in government welfare, the largest welfare reform in history —Full up-front funding for the entire border wall and water barriers (will never need to ask Democrats for these funds, denying them leverage on all future annual appropriations bills) —Pay raise for ICE and Border Patrol —Full funding for every border and immigration security priority the American People voted for, making it the most significant border and homeland bill in American history —Port security to keep fentanyl out of the US —Funds the Golden Dome, a state-of-the-art shield against enemy missile strikes on our soil —Defunds the transgender agenda and attacks on our kids —Cuts 1.6 TRILLION in net mandatory spending —The most pro-American tax bill ever, including 100% expensing on new American factories to ensure the future is Made in the USA

I’ve seen a few claims making the rounds on the Big Beautiful Bill that require correction. The first is that it doesn’t “codify the DOGE cuts.” A reconciliation bill, which is a budget bill that passes with 50 votes, is limited by senate rules to “mandatory” spending only — eg Medicaid and Food Stamps. The senate rules prevent it from cutting “discretionary” spending — eg the Department of Education or federal grants. The DOGE cuts are overwhelmingly discretionary, not mandatory. The bill saves more than 1.6 TRILLION in mandatory spending, including the largest-ever welfare reform. A remarkable achievement. I’ve also seen claims the bill increases the deficit. This lie is based on a CBO accounting gimmick. Income tax rates from the 2017 tax cut are set to expire in September. They were always planned to be permanent. CBO says maintaining *current* rates adds to the deficit, but by definition leaving these income tax rates unchanged cannot add one penny to the deficit. The bill’s spending cuts REDUCE the deficit against the current law baseline, which is the only correct baseline to use. Another fantastically false claim is that the bill spends trillions of dollars. This is just completely invented out of whole cloth. This is not a ten year budget bill—it doesn’t “fund” almost any operations of government, which are funded in the annual budget bills (which this is not). In other words, if this bill passed, but the annual budget bill did not, there would be no government funding. Under the math that critics are using, if we passed a one paragraph reconciliation bill that cut simply 50 billion in food stamp spending, they would say the bill “added” trillions in spending and debt because they are counting ALL the projected federal spending that exists entirely outside the scope of this legislation, which is of course preposterous. The only funding in the bill is for the President’s border and defense priorities, while enacting a net spending cut of over 1.6 TRILLION dollars. The bill has two fiscal components: a massive tax cut and a massive spending cut.

Someone just texted me this message and they are absolutely correct: “This is a bad look for the NFL. This feels like Kaepernick-level collusion.” All the hard work the NFL League Office puts in to eradicate these kinds of perceptions, only to turn around and watch as the OWNERS look like they’re colluding, messing up everything. What has been done to Shedeur will outshine everything else in this draft. We’ll never believe this is about just talent evaluation again.
