Trump can’t stand to be humiliated -as he's been for 2 weeks. By Sen Rs refusal to quickly enact his #Bill. By Xi’s refusal to back down on trade (& restrict shipments of CN’s rare earths, which US IND depends on). By Putin’s refusal to end the war in UA. By the fed courts pushing back against his immigration policy.

And, now, by insults & smears from Musk, who's a larger SM following than does Trump.

Reich nails it, he exposes Trump's game & weaknesses.

#Deportations to Add ~$1T in Costs to the Bill.

CBO estimates: the #Bill will direct $168 BILLION of the budget to #immigration & border LE, & even more for agencies that indirectly support it.

It's cost est is DEFICIENT -assumes: all this increase is temporary -will happen gradually over 10 yrs, rather than in an immediate, reckless spending spree, & neglects: more significant cost of removing #immigrants WHO'VE PAID MORE IN TAXES THAN THEY RECEIVED IN BENEFITS.

"Contrary to claims made by its proponents, the mass #deportations' components of the #Bill will not improve its CBO score -will make it worse.🚨Accounting for LOST NET REV from #immigrants adds nearly $1T in additional cost.

Adopting HR 1's flawed assumptions -deportations will likely account for 1/4 of the bill's tot deficit -more than many other costs. Congress Rs didn't let the CBO acct for deportations. IMM/border policing already accts for 2/3 of all fed law enf spending..."

#StephenMiller, Dep COS for Policy in Trump’s WH, was fact-checked on X Thurs night after defending the admin’s controversial legislative centerpiece, dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Posting late Thurs night, Miller wrote:

“Still trying to figure out what the objection is to a bill that combines record tax cuts with record spending cuts with record deportations.”

Someone must have told Musk how much his bus' *rely heavily on govt subsidies, will be screwed by the Trump's imperiled budget bill. He's become fixated on killing the #bill. Musk is rallying his supporters to oppose it.

MAGA coalition: fragile & some of the differences are starting to tear at the seam. Trump's slim win in 2024: no doubt due in large part to Musk. Johnson lies -but: likely telling the truth when he sneered: "the EV mandate is very impt to" #Musk.

"Amid a wave of campaign cash, senators put a line in the new crypto bill that could require banks to drain money from your savings account & give it to crypto investors to reduce their losses.

🚨The bill says crypto gets "priority" over deposits."

"The new populism:🚨the world’s richest man, who just left a special WH job, texts with the Speaker in order to lobby for more subsidies for his bus while publicly vowing to oust Rs bc the bill doesn’t slash subsidies for poor enough."

#Musk squabbled with at least 2 Cab secs & found that his prv interests clashed at times with Trump’s policy goals.

Trump’s bill would curtail the EV & residential solar tax credits -impt to Tesla & clean energy divs.

"Someone tell Sen Lankford🚨how many jobs don’t offer health insur. Tell him about the cost-sharing that ppl making $20/hr can’t afford. They’re so detached from the ppl they rep, it’s no wonder they pass laws to benefit the billionaires who get them elected."
-R Davidson

"People are screaming & saying: "It's kicking ppl off Medicaid. It's transitioning from MDCD to employer-provided HC..."

Lankford LIES like all GOP MOC, only not as brashly as the others.
