Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Americans’ electricity bills are predicted to rise by as much as 18% over the next decade, thanks to cuts to clean energy production in Trump’s big, ugly bill. Red states are likely to see the biggest increases. Trump put his Big Oil donors over his own voters.

MAGA’s new motto: punish the poor, protect the powerful. Trump and his crew are pushing work requirements for food, housing, and healthcare—while handing out tab breaks to billionaires. If they really cared about “fraud”, they’d start with their own damn tax returns.

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.
