Congress is doing what it does best—failing spectacularly. FY 2025 is still running on a stopgap deal until March 14, and the debt ceiling fight is back like a sequel no one asked for. Republicans are pushing Trump’s agenda with $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, no taxes on tips, overtime, or Social Security, and $2 trillion in spending cuts (mostly from Medicaid). Democrats? Screaming about billionaire handouts while quietly trying to keep your tax dollars rolling into government black holes.
Here’s the reality: Democrats claim to fight for workers, but when given the chance to cut taxes on overtime, tips, and Social Security, every single one voted against it. They push for higher wages but refuse to let you keep more of what you earn. They act like they care about retirees but keep taxing Social Security. They pretend to stand with servers and bartenders but demand a cut of their tips. And after blocking tax relief for everyday Americans, they have the audacity to say Republicans “only help the rich.” The truth? They don’t want you to succeed—they want you dependent.
Meanwhile, James Carville is hoping the GOP collapses, and Jasmine Crockett seems to be making sure it happens. MAGA factions are forming, with DeSantis’s wife gearing up for governor, Byron Donalds getting Trump’s endorsement, and Bannon picking a fight with Musk. But the biggest red flag? Michigan Congressman Josh Schriver’s sudden push to strip gay rights. This screams RINO sabotage, a classic “divide and conquer” distraction that plays right into the Left’s hands. Town halls are already forming against Musk and Dodge, and now the Democrats have another wedge issue to fracture the movement.
And then there’s Trump’s appointees—talking tough but delivering nothing on Epstein’s client list or the JFK files. Is this more stall tactics, or is something bigger at play?
🎧 Listen now as we break down the GOP’s internal war, the deep state’s latest trap, and why the real battle isn’t just against Democrats—it’s against the system itself.
