CBSNews is reporting that President Trump has endorsed the House GOP reconciliiation plan .CBS wrote "President Trump endorsed House Republicans' budget proposal that would enact trillions of dollars in spending reductions and tax cuts in a single bill, saying on Wednesday that he prefers that approach over the Senate's competing two-bill plan." That's a big deal because Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz (ain't that an odd couple) are pushing a competing reconciliation package that would tighten border security but wouldn't extend expiring Trump tax cuts. The article continues, saying "We need both Chambers to pass the House Budget to 'kickstart' the Reconciliation process, and move all of our priorities to the concept of, 'ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL,'" Mr. Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "It will, without question, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" The Senate now has its marching orders to fall into line. This fight is over for t...

While I'm officially impressed with what President Trump has accomplished in his first 30 days in office, I can't say that he's been totally honest in that time. this Truth Social post from President Trump definitely isn't the "Truth." In President Trump's posting on Truth Social, President Trump wrote "Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him...

People reading this article's headline are probably questioning the title because everyone knows who Elon Musk is. That's true in the sense that he's got worldwide name recognition. After Sean Hannity's interview of Trump and Musk, which aired Tuesday night, I'd argue that people finally saw Elon's personality fully displayed. True Trump believers knew that Elon Musk sent Starlink communications units to Hurricane Helene-ravaged North Carolina. During Tuesday night's interview, they found out that Musk didn't charge the people or the government for those units. People also learned (from Pres. Trump) that those units saved lives by giving these North Carolinians a way to communicate their needs to the outside world. That was required because the B iden  FEMA department didn't respond to the area's needs. Early in Hannity's interview, Musk said "I think President Trump is a good man. He's been so unfairly attacked by the media. It'...

There's no disputing that Dan Wolgamott is a loyal Democrat. He's so loyal that he's willing to put out an update like this . Check out this world-class spin in the opening paragraphs of his update: I’m happy to share that we just wrapped up our first week of committee hearings in the Minnesota House - thanks to the bipartisan power-sharing agreement my DFL colleagues and I were able to secure! I’m as frustrated as you that it took this long, especially since the deal House Republicans agreed to is largely the same as the offer we made before session began in January, but all’s well that ends well, and it’s time to turn the page on the last few weeks and work together to deliver bipartisan results for Minnesotans. That's world-class spin! The power-sharing agreement that's now in place is different than the initial one proposed makes Lisa Demuth the Speaker for the next 2 years. The other major difference is the creation of the new Fraud Prevention and State Agency ...

I'm getting sick of listening to Lindsey Graham preach the gospel of 2 reconciliation bills that would extend the Trump tax cuts, finish building Trump's wall, return the U.S. to energy dominance, build refineries and pipelines and increase the size of ICE, the DEA and the Border Patrol. While he chairs the Senate Budget Committee, a quite powerful committee, that doesn't make him God on budget matters. President Trump's wishes will ultimately trump Sen. Graham's bill. Ultimately, this fight will come down to either a bill that extends the Trump tax cuts, funds finishing Trump's border wall, cuts spending and funds Tom Homan's deportations or Graham's bill. If Graham's bill is the only option, it'll likely finish the House GOP majority for the rest of the Trump administration. Yesterday, Kevvin Cramer insisted that the only reason the House bill was moving was because Graham had kick-started things with his 2-step approach: That's a steaming ...

In a stinging defeat to federal public employee unions, Judge George O'Toole said federal employees unions that they lacked standing to bring their challenge "and that his court does not have jurisdiction to hear their complaint." According to the report, "The judge lifted his pause on the buyouts that he first issued last week and denied the plaintiffs' request for an injunction, allowing the Trump administration to move forward with the buyouts. 'As of 7:00 PM tonight, the program is now closed,' McLaurine Pinover, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, said in a statement. 'There is no longer any doubt: the Deferred Resignation Program was both legal and a valuable option for federal employees.'" In the unions' statement, "Everett Kelley, national president of AFGE, the largest federal employees union, representing about 800,000 workers, said 'Today's ruling is a setback in the fight for dignity and fa...
