🚨Update 🚨 The Springsteen tribute band was hired by the Headliner in Neptune, NJ to fill the date. Go out and rock to the electric sounds of the Boss at a non-MAGA venue!

To recap: Small cover band had this booked for months. Can't get rebooked at this late date. They offered to play non-Bruce songs. Bar still said no. Bar sucks. #Resist #FoxtrotTangoDelta

The CBO just released a score on Republicans' existing mega-package and found that the GOP budget plan would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion over a decade. It would boost the incomes of the richest 10% of Americans while lowering the incomes of the lowest 10%.

If you were following along with the budget bill hearing early this morning, the Democrats were correct. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office confirms: The GOP budget would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion in a decade, help the rich & lower the income of the lowest 10%.

1/ Tonight at 1am ET/12pm CT/10pm PT, cowardly Republics go into a middle-of-the-night session to take up Trump's "Big, Beautiful" budget (also, ironically called the skinny budget) in hopes no one will pay attention. I'm up, making popcorn, & will let you know if anything interesting happens.

"A deafening silence" The Fourth Circuit just upheld Judge Gallagher's order for Trump administration to facilitate "Cristian's" release from El Salvador. The Plaintiff showed USG contrived a document to keep Cristian in CECOT. The Fourth Circuit notes the DOJ's "deafening silence" in response.

Sen. Chris Murphy to NBC on Democratic opposition to the GOP mega-bill: "What we're standing in the way of is the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to the rich in the history of the country."

At the end of Pope Leo's inaugural mass, he singled out the need for peace in: Gaza ("the surviving children, families, older people are reduced to hunger"), Myanmar (where violence has "cut short innocent young lives") and Ukraine (which "awaits negotiations for a fair and lasting peace").
