    https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/25/documents-military-contractors-mass-deportations-022648

    excerpt:

    The emergence of the proposal, marked “unsolicited,” is indicative of the major hurdles the administration faces as it struggles to find the resources to fulfill Trump’s ambitious deportation agenda. The administration’s desire to make good on that signature campaign promise has created an opening for private contractors who see a rare area in which the Trump administration is likely to increase spending.

    Deporting 12 million people in two years “would require the government to eject nearly 500,000 illegal aliens per month,” the document says. “To keep pace with the Trump deportations, it would require a 600% increase in activity. It is unlikely that the government could swell its internal ranks to keep pace with this demand …in order to process this enormous number of deportations, the government should enlist outside assistance.”

    That one line in the video.

    Daylight savings time. We set our clocks ahead. Ideally, four years.

    GOP wants work requirement for Medicaid.


    Republicans consider cuts and work requirements for Medicaid, jeopardizing care for millions

    excerpt:

    "Millions more Americans signed up for taxpayer-funded health care coverage like Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act’s marketplace during the Biden administration, a shift lauded by Democrats as a success.

    But Republicans, who are looking to slash federal spending and offer lucrative tax cuts to corporations and wealthier Americans, now see a big target ripe for trimming. The $880 billion Medicaid program is financed mostly by federal taxpayers, who pick up as much as 80% of the tab in some states. And states, too, have said they’re having trouble financing years of growth and sicker patients who enrolled in Medicaid."

    https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/politics/washington-dc-mayor-trump-black-lives-matter/index.html

    excerpt:

    "The move reflects the immense influence Trump wields in his second term, and the fear some local leaders have of antagonizing him as they play defense on multiple fronts.

    Along with pushing a spending bill that cuts the city’s budget, Trump and his fellow Republicans have pressured DC leaders on crime, homelessness and immigration enforcement — with the constant threat that the federal government could reassert control over a capital city that has enjoyed a good deal of autonomy in recent decades."

    Considering Trump's mindset, he will make a remark such as, 'We don't need Canada's potash'.

    Or:

    'We don't need Canada's potash, whatever that is.'

    America's potash is great. We make the best potash. It's fantastic. No one ever talks about it, but we make the greatest potash--the very best potash. But Sleepy Joe Biden and the radical left lunatics have you thinking Canada makes the best potash.

    Trump has touted Gilded Age tariffs, an era which saw industrial growth together with poverty

    excerpt:

    WASHINGTON (AP) — In President Donald Trump’s idealized framing, the United States was at its zenith in the 1890s, when top hats and shirtwaists were fashionable and typhoid fever often killed more soldiers than combat.

    It was the Gilded Age, a time of rapid population growth and transformation from an agricultural economy toward a sprawling industrial system, when poverty was widespread while barons of phenomenal wealth, like John D. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan, held tremendous sway over politicians who often helped boost their financial empires.

    “We were at our richest from 1870 to 1913. That’s when we were a tariff country. And then they went to an income tax concept,” Trump said days after taking office. “It’s fine. It’s OK. But it would have been very much better.”
