Hey @SpeakerJohnson: How come “no tax on Social Security” isn't in the "Big Beautiful Bill"? We were promised this. Were we lied to and played for idiots again?

True Pam was a lobbyist and Qatar was a client. She had to register.
I’m more concerned about her Pharma clients (Pfizer) and her relationship with Susie The Snake Wiles
A bit of a stretch going from that to taking millions under the table and not reporting it

I doubt it, because that sum is quite high. Very high.

Aw damn, I was hoping they'd keep all their weirdos in place.
On the plus side, I love it when they start eating their own!

JP Morgan: The Recession Has Been Called Off
Beege's excellent post on the financial bonanza that Trump's tariffs have brought highlights one side of the story that the Pravda Media didn't expect.
JP Morgan's reversal of its prediction that Trump's trade policy would usher in a recession tells the other side.
All the "best people" have missed the point of Trump's moves to reshape world trade.
JP Morgan's prediction that the tariffs would usher in a serious recession was not insane. Any economist will tell you that, all other things being equal, reducing the friction involved in people trading will reduce the efficiency of the market. Inefficient markets increase costs, reduce economic activity, and lead to lower growth.

Okay... Here's the Truth About the Qatar Jumbo Jet Story
The Democrats have been desperate to find a scandal to pin on Trump, and their latest attempt may be the stupidest yet.
It was recently reported that the Trump administration is gearing up to accept a high-end Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the Qatari royal family—a luxury aircraft that will serve as a temporary Air Force One during President Trump’s second term. Naturally, the left is already losing its mind, but here’s the reality: this is a win for taxpayers.
In the wake of media hysteria over the offer from Qatar to provide the United States with an aircraft, Buzz Patterson, a retired Air Force pilot, White House military aide, and carrier of the nuclear football, has stepped in to inject a dose of reality—and firsthand experience—into the conversation. While critics scramble to paint the move as some kind of scandal involving President Trump, Patterson makes clear this is nothing new or scandalous, and absolutely nothing that warrants the breathless outrage.
“I’m going to try one last time,” Patterson began in a post on X. “The Qatar B-747 was built in the US by Boeing. They are offering a newer 747 to replace one of the two current AF-1s that have been flying for 40 years. Which are tired and need to be replaced.”
That last point is key. The current Air Force One planes are aging relics that first entered service when Ronald Reagan was in the White House. Replacing them has been a long, slow, and—thanks to bureaucratic delays—frustrating process. Patterson, who served as a military aide during the Clinton administration and has flown on Air Force One over a hundred times, says the Qatar aircraft would simply help fill the gap until Boeing completes new replacements—something that won’t happen for years.
