Trump's billionaire ambassador to Italy refuses to live in the sumptuous official US residence in Rome and instead stays on his 250-foot super yacht moored 60 miles from the capital and helicopters to work, per Italian media reports. @mattiaferraresi airmail.news/issues/2025-7-…
"The U.S. has collected an additional $55 billion in tariffs this year. Corporate America has largely shouldered the bill." This won't last - we as consumers will bear the burden of tariffs in the coming months all because our reps gave up their authority. #NE02 #NESen 👇
Tariff Rebates? Where to start? 1) We have a $1.8T deficit and just cut taxes by $4-$5T more. We're set to add $30T in debt over the next decade. Tax rebates? 2) New tariffs are bringing in $20B/month. But resulting economic sluggishness is likely offsetting all those revenues.
Trump on tariff revenue: We have so much money coming in, we're thinking about a little rebate but the big thing we want to do is pay down debt. We're thinking about a rebate.
The Republican agenda gives massive tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations, cuts health coverage and food assistance, raises costs for millions, and adds trillions to the deficit.
“Millions of people are expected to lose health insurance in the coming years as a result of the tax cut legislation Trump signed this month, leaving them with fewer protections from large bills if they get sick or suffer an accident.” npr.org/sections/shots…
No, there aren’t 5 states (or any) with $1.99 gas. No, prices aren’t “all down” under Trump. No, it isn’t a lie to note prices are up. No, grocery prices aren’t down. No, core inflation isn’t below 2%. Fact check on Trump’s inflation lies last night: cnn.com/2025/07/23/pol…
GAO says the Trump administration (again) violated the 1974 Impoundment Act by withholding funds appropriated by Congress gao.gov/products/b-337…
Every time Nebraska’s delegation brags about pushing Trump’s agenda, just remember: that “agenda” is now slowing our entire economy, hiking prices, and squeezing families. Congrats on the tariffs, I guess? #NE02 #NESen
The U.S. economy is headed into a period of noticeably slower growth thanks to the tariff impact on inflation and consumer spending, according to Goldman Sachs. nbcnews.com/business/econo…
GasBuddy shows presently zero states with stations below $2/gal
Trump: Prices are down… Gasoline… We hit $1.99 a gallon today in five different states. Crowd: *applause*
Trump has signed legislation cumulatively adding $13 trillion in debt in his 4.5 years as president - dwarfing every other president in our lifetime. But today's politics is not about reality. It's about proving your loyalty to the tribe by parroting absurd talking points. 🙄
Britt: We are $37 trillion in debt. It’s not just fiscally irresponsible, it is morally irresponsible and I'm so grateful to President Trump and his leadership for saying the buck stops with me and we’re starting to rein this in..
"The cost of living remains a glaring pain point for working class and middle income Nebraskans because of policies Congressman Bacon supports. From groceries to clothing and now health insurance, costs are going up under the Republican Tax Law and tariffs." #NE02
A statement from State Director Angie Lauritsen as a new KFF analysis finds a big health insurance premium increase on the way in 2026. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE02
More tax cuts for billionaires & even less funding for public schools…special education, breakfast & lunches for kids, before & after school programs and more! What do you know @RepDonBacon? @SenatorFischer?

Seems like everyday we get to hear whatever new nonsense made it into the Republican Tax Bill. #NE02 #NESen
House Dems want to keep the Space Shuttle Discovery in the National Air & Space Museum in VA, not transfer it to Texas as mandated under OBBB.
who could blame the Utah senator? These fakers really nailed the seal of the "Elerebal Reserve Oedo of Goveryaeb"
Lee just now re why he posted it: “There appeared to be one, and it occurred to me seconds after I posted it that I hadn’t seen it anywhere else, so I deleted it out of an abundance of caution. I don’t know whether it’s legit or not.”
