    With the passage of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” Trump has crushed a lot of Democratic dreams and plans, and — as I predicted right after the election — he’s also starting to lay an institutional foundation for MAGA Republicans.

    The Big, Beautiful Bill is more big than it is beautiful, but the only way to get the changes that were needed through without a filibuster was through reconciliation. And the changes got through, and that is beautiful.

    3. KAM: Cowardly Gabby hates all the WINNING: Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors

      The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.

      The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation’s economy.

      “This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned.”

      The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned.

      DON: Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them.

    1. KAM: THE GRAY LADY WILL SELL NO BAD NEWS ABOUT DEMOCRATS UNTIL ITS TIME: NY Times: There Really Was a Gang Problem in Aurora, Colorado. Last September, in the waning months of the election, the NY Times published a story titled “How the False Story of a Gang ‘Takeover’ in Colorado Reached Trump.” Mike Coffman, the conservative Republican mayor of Aurora, Colo., said he was at home on Tuesday night watching the presidential debate and bracing for the worst… “They’re taking over buildings,” Mr. Trump said. “They’re going in violently.” Mr. Coffman was contrite on Thursday as he told that story. After all, he had helped create the tall tale now sullying his city’s reputation. * * * * * * * * * And the general response from the left was a lot like the NY Times story above. They claimed it was a false story used by Trump to attack migrants. Today, the Times published a rebuttal of sorts about the same incidents. The tone of this one is very different. It’s headline reads, “Democrats Denied This City Had a Gang Problem. The Truth Is Complicated.“

      DON: Funny how the Gray Lady always wants to make sure that every “i” is dotted and every “t” is crossed in reporting a story that either negatively impacts Democrats during a presidential race, or might benefit the Republican candidate, even if it means taking months or years to inform their readers of a huge story: Almost Two Years after 2020 Election, the New York Times Discovers Hunter Biden Laptop and Corruption Investigations Are Real.

    1. Sparrow: You are the king of the false equivalency – “illegal crossings occur on both parties watch.” Of course they do. But the truth is that one party tries to prevent it while the other openly embraces it for political reasons. Your statements are clearly misleading and not limited to just the border issue. I tend to respond to false or misleading statements. Otherwise uninformed people adopt a false narrative. Look at what has happened on college campuses with the majority of students now identifying with Hamas, a terrorist group, and Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, over Israel.

My guess is that favorability with college students is greater than the population at large. Not much of an exaggeration. Don’t see a lot of support for Israel on college campuses.
