Meanwhile, Trump policies, such as the Big Beautiful tax bill, are increasing take-home pay, while deregulation has saved the economy more than $1 trillion in deadweight costs.

Evidence now shows that Clinton's campaign had informed a number of people, including Barack Obama, then the occupant of the White house, that she intended to try to link Trump to Russia to distract American voters from the scandal over her decision to put government secrets on an unsecure email server in her home.
And Trump noticed. ...But nothing cut deeper than one specific challenge he laid down for every lawmaker in that room.
"One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe," Trump said. "So, tonight, I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens."
Republicans exploded. They stood, clapped, and whistled for a solid two minutes... Democrats didn't move. Not a shuffle. Not a courtesy clap. Nothing.

One of the ugliest phenomena of our era comes down to Democrats weaponizing the mentally unstable.
Liberal women — confused, self-loathing, and by their own admission mentally ill to a disproportionate degree — have inverted morality itself in their hellish quest to protect criminal illegal aliens from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
In a video posted Feb. 13 to the social media platform X, a woman identified as Olivia Jensen expressed total indifference toward the victims of an illegal alien rapist and murderer.
“Mayor Zohran Mamdani you are out of your goddamn mind,” Cambria Heights resident James Johnson seethed.
Critics like Johnson, 35, a Democratic City Council candidate and an activist for the predominantly black and working class Queens neighborhood, argued the proposed tax hike was a whiplash-inducing departurefrom Hizzoner’s campaign promise that only the ultra wealthy would see their taxes go up under his administration.
“You screamed affordability. You ran on it. You said affordability, affordability, affordability … And the first thing, not even three months into your administration, into your term. You wanna hit us with a 9.5% property tax increase? Not happening.”...
