Amanda Carpenter: Trump and Johnson have collaborated to destroy Congress' powers. “If a president can both spend money Congress refused to give him and refuse to spend money Congress ordered him to spend, Congress no longer has the spending power because the president has arrogated it to himself.”

A key feature of the “Big Beautiful Bill” was to decontextualize: give a gift to the wealthy immediately, while hiding the true cost to most Americans until after the midterms. The plan all along was to trick us, not help us. This GOP has to go. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Republicans tried to punt health care cuts until after the midterms. It didn’t work.
While most GOP-enacted cuts to Medicaid and other safety net programs won’t happen until 2027, Democrats are speaking to the voters already feeling the squeeze.
