Trump Energy Department cancels $3.7B in Biden-era green energy grants
The projects failed to advance the energy needs of the American people and were not economically viable, the agency said

The Trump administration has canceled $3.7 billion worth of grants for multiple climate-related infrastructure projects, the majority of which were approved in former President Joe Biden's lame duck period after he lost the 2024 election….

Good. Most of these weren‘t even signed by Biden, but by the Autopen.

They can put the Autopen on the Mt. Rushmore of horrible presidents along with buchanan, hoover and trump.

And I remember you all talking about Biden’s autopen too.

.....looks like she should be barking up the tree where she chased the raccoon.

Too bad, she used to seem like she had a clue, for a republican anyway..



Q: What borders on stupidity?
A: Mexico and Canada

Senate parliamentarian will have final say on some provisions in Trump's funding bill

MacDonough is responsible for making calls on whether the provisions in the bill are in keeping with the Byrd Rule, named after the late Sen. Robert Byrd, who helped institute the rules governing budget reconciliation packages like President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful bill."
...
Now, things are always a bit more complicated in the Senate. The Byrd rule also prohibits Congress from touching Social Security in a reconciliation bill, from increasing the deficit for a fiscal year beyond the period included in the bill, and more. But its basic form is this: everything in the bill must be related to the budget.

It may seem in the weeds, but this review process can have meaningful impacts on reconciliation bills. In the Democrat-backed "Build Back Better" package in 2022, for example, the parliamentarian struck a number of provisions Democrats wanted focused on immigration reform. Democrats ended up having to give up those provisions to pass their package under then-President Joe Biden.

Big policy agenda items that are critical to some Republicans in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act could in theory be slashed out by the parliamentarian, so the process matters.
...
We'll ultimately have to wait for MacDonough to rule, but if it sounds like policy and not budget, it might be at risk.

Here are a few provisions in the House-passed bill that appear to be potentially at risk of being struck out by the parliamentarian. This is not an exhaustive list and doesn't account for things that Senate Republicans might want to change or remove from the bill:
- AI regulations
- Federal court provisions
- Planned Parenthood funding ban

Trump's ambitious push for trade deals is hitting some snags

President Donald Trump’s ambitious plan to broker dozens of trade deals with some of the United States’ closest trading partners has begun to show cracks as the clock on his 90-day pause for most country-specific tariffs winds down to just over one month.

While some of the fissures are self-inflicted, like recent threats of tariffs against the European Union and higher duties on steel imports, a fresh set of court rulings questioning the president’s tariffs-granting authority now hangs over his entire push to reset U.S. trade relations.

On Friday, Trump announced a plan to double steel and aluminum tariffs to 50%. That followed new accusations against China of violating the handshake agreement the two countries had struck in early May during talks in Geneva.

He shared a post. Reading the article helps, Skippy.

President Donald Trump spread a bonkers conspiracy theory that former President Joe Biden was killed in 2020 and replaced by clones.

Late Saturday night on Truth Social, Trump shared a post from another user which asserted that Biden had been secretly assassinated and that the country was being run, for the entirety of Biden’s term in office, by “robotic engineered soulless mindless entities.”

“There is no #JoeBiden – executed in 2020,” the post read. “#Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. “#Democrats dont (sic) know the difference.”

You were a bad loan, Bro.

Trump tax bill will add $2.4 trillion to the deficit and leave 10.9 million more uninsured

President Donald Trump’s big bill making its way through Congress will cut taxes by $3.75 trillion but also increase deficits by $2.4 trillion over the next decade, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

The CBO also estimates an increase of 10.9 million people without health insurance under the bill by 2034, including 1.4 million who are in the United States without legal status in state-funded programs.

There's the answer to the question of how many of those losing coverage are illegal immigrants - 1.4 million out of 10.9 million. That leaves 9.5 million with status.

Has anyone noticed that trump's monstrous "Big Beautiful Bill" has the same acronym as biden's monstrous "Build Back Better"? Coincidence?

How many of those 9.5 million are US Citizens? There’s currently 50-60 million foreign born in the US. USC are the only ones I am concerned about.

National Debt
Bush 8 years: 5.7 to 10.6 trillion
Obama 8 years: 10.6 to 19.9 trillion
Trump 4 years 19.9 to 27.7 trillion
Biden 4 years 27.7 trillion to 36.2 trillion

So under Biden it went up 8.5 trillion in 4 years, 2.1> trillion a year. The CBO’s 2.4 trillion over a decade is a little more than 1 year under Biden. It’s an avg over 10 years of .24 trillion (240 billion) a year. That’s about 6-7 tenths of 1% increase on avg per year over a decade. That would be the lowest $$$ amount increase and % wise since 2000.

Also, the CBO I heard doesn’t factor in tariff revenue.
Also the CBO has been known to be way off in there predictions before.
Also get ready for the new word of the year recesion packages.

Now I wish there was actual cuts as opposed to slowdowns in the rate of growth. Now if there’s not close to a balanced budget in 2028 that will factor into the 2028 elections.

I think the 2.4 trillion increase is based only on trump's BBB and is in addition to the increase expected to occur with no changes.
