She is definitely being disingenuous, but technically she might be correct. The Reconciliation bill that she references is where the above could be added. I assume she is referring to procedural votes for “no tax on tips” and other items.

However, to the point I think you are making ….it has not passed. What passed was the GOP budget resolution, but now there will need to be a Reconcillation bill…or a series of them.

White House official threatens to redraw Canadian border​

A top White House official has threatened to redraw the Canadian border amid Donald Trump’s ambition to turn the country in America’s “51st state”.

Peter Navarro, one of Donald Trump’s closest advisers, is pushing US negotiators to discuss reworking the border with their Canadian counterparts, The Telegraph can reveal.


“Navarro recommended revising the Canada-US border, which is just crazy and dangerous,” a source close to negotiations told The Telegraph.

Canada has now instructed its delegates to withdraw from negotiations with the US until Jameson Greer and Howard Lutnick, two incoming members of Mr Trump’s cabinet, are confirmed by the senate. Mr Greer and Mr Lutnick are viewed by Ontario as being less extreme.

“The Canadians have told their people to hold off negotiating with the US Government until Jameson Greer and Howard Lutnick are confirmed by the Senate and in post,” the source said.

Proposals also put forward by Mr Navarro include expelling Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network, the most important intelligence-sharing network in the world.

Mr Navarro, whose close relationship with Mr Trump has afforded him ease of access to the Oval Office, is “ruling the roost”, insiders say, with some staffers left feeling unable to challenge him.

If you had to pick one thing to oppose Trump on, what would you focus on? He’s using weapons of mass distraction and I’m not sure we’re paying attention to the right things.

Good question. He's definitely trying to "flood the zone" and overwhelm any opposition.

I'm not sure, and I'm relatively sure that there's not going to be any pushback from Congress. Which leaves the courts to attempt to rein in his attempts at expansion of executive authority and confiscation of appropriated funds. Which requires a scattershot response.

My personal main concern is raising the debt limit, increasing the debt while giving tax cuts to the 1% or so while also looking to cut Medicaid, SS, etc. Elon's bogus alleged "cost savings" and government downsizing is just a smoke screen to cover for the fact that this budget is nowhere close to balanced or generating a debt spend-down.

Trump plans tariffs on Mexico and Canada for March 4, while doubling existing 10% tariffs on China

President Donald Trump says he plans to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting next Tuesday, in addition to doubling the 10% universal tariff charged on imports from China.

apnews.com

So we are back to 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting up. Didn't we "win" this fight like 3 weeks ago?

so this is making itś rounds on social media...saw it last night...just had to sigh and shake my head...also saw on social media people praising tRump for opening his first cabinet meeting with a prayer(the one I saw first included the emojis of ..wtf...
so a couple of thoughts: 1) people, use your favorite search engine to do the slightest of research to see if things posted on social media are legit or fake or just plain propaganda - cuz they know so many ignorant people will love, agree, and share false information!!!!
2) tRump is no a Christian...I know, I know, I am judging here and who am I to say he is not, but come one...just because someone says a prayer or has someone lead off a meeting conducted by you with a prayer doesn´t make you this saintly christian all of a sudden...
rant over, have a good day!

For me it is Schedule F of project 2025 and the long reaching effects it can and will have. To summarize, the intent is to install people into federal positions across the board that are loyal to one person; not loyal to the country, not loyal to the project/role they were working on, and ultimately, not loyal to the constitution. Removing "road blocks" as our new sec. def. so eloquently stated. Last Week Tonight did an informative segment on this very subject. I briefly looked for that clip but was unable to find it.

In October 2020, the Trump Administration issued an executive order called Schedule F that would have stripped protections from civil servants perceived as disloyal.

You might be thinking of the segment on Last week tonight.

Same for me. Too much across the board potential for bad. I'm less concerned with financial things than I am essentially reworking the structure of our government to contain only people willing to placate one crazy man. The DOD and DOJ firings definitely have me spooked. For a man that doesn't want to give up power and a party that is perfectly willing to go along with it while breaking rules and norms to keep him and themselves in power, there is too much potential.

Trump is trying to Systematically Remove Traditionally Dem Leaning Voters and forcibly shut down their ability to vote in future elections.

Trump's call to end birthright citizenship​

'Litigation is a certainty': Trump's call to end birthright citizenship would face a mountain of opposition

An executive order would kick-start a legal fight that could lead to a Supreme Court ruling.

www.nbcnews.com

79 % of Married women would be prevented from Voting under the SAVE Act OR 53 MILLION American Women who would be UNABLE to vote.​

It is also estimated that 4-5 MILLION American's have Birthright Citizenship. If Trump ends this...Those 4-5 MILLION people PLUS ALL OF THEIR VOTING AGE OFFSRPING would NOT be eligible for Vote.

Estimates say this could be another 15-20 MILLION total Voters.


Trump is legit trying to prevent 60-75 MILLION Americans from voting

Anybody want to admit they made a mistake yet? Or are me and my fellow libs still being pwned?

I may have screwed up, we need more of Joe Biden/Kamala Harris and the democrats.

I’m pissed illegal immigration’s down 95% saving American taxpayers millions in free handouts to people who have contributed nothing to America. It’s not fair all they were receiving was free food, housing, medical care, and education at taxpayer expense.

This is bullshit Trump is negotiating with Putin and Zelenskyy to end the war.
I prefer to see more soldiers and civilians die and billions of taxpayer dollars spent over this boarder dispute.

What the hell a cease-fire in Gaza? Trumps a fool! These people were fine killing each other. As far as hostages go they are collateral damage and acceptable part of any terrorist attack.

Tariffs are horrible. I can’t believe Apple’s moving operations back to America to avoiding paying tariffs. To top it off they are investing 500 million dollars and creating 20,000 jobs. We don’t need these producers we need more government employees.

Military recruitment numbers are up and our American military is expected to meet recruitment numbers for the first time in 4 years. This accomplishment is concerning with a strong military there will be less possibility of wars for the military industrial complex to profit off of saving taxpayer’s billions of dollars.

This needs to end, another 30 days of this is not sustainable please impeach Trump. How on earth was I such a fool voting for this it is crazy and unacceptable.

Military recruitment numbers are up and our American military is expected to meet recruitment numbers for the first time in 4 years.

I'll address this easily disproven snippet

Not true. At least Army and Navy both met goals last year (I'm not going searching for every branch). Army's higher numbers are laregely from delayed entry signups last year and for both branches increases are at least partially due to prep courses to get recruits to a position to meet standards. Both branches saw increases prior to election and.

Early Momentum: Army Hits 30,000 Recruits, Half its Goal for the Year

The service has 30,000 new enlistments this year -- an increase of 6,000 compared to the same period last year, the data shows.

Navy says it is on track to hit its highest recruiting numbers in more than 20 years

The Navy expects to meet its recruiting numbers for the second year in a row. Both years have the same goal, the highest in two decades.

I keep thinking about this segment. It was sometime late last year. It's almost like there's an exact playbook out there for exactly what's happening.

Everybody keeps saying "well, we can take some parts back in 2 years, or the presidency in 4". There's a zero percent chance that trump and musk are going to let those things happen, if at all possible. It's the reason they are stacking the military (that is supposed to serve the country, not a political party), judges, cabinets, and federal positions with loyalists. Perhaps I'm a wacky conspiracy theorist, but I don't see a world where they do all of this just to potentially lose an election in 4 years.

So my biggest concerns are: firing the highest ranking and most qualified people in our military and replacing with loyalists, and privatizing everything. I don't particularly want to go bankrupt because I can't afford to pay the people who put out my house that was burning down.
