under trump’s project 2025, a middle-class family with two children would pay $2,600 in additional federal income tax by comparison, a married couple with two children and earnings of $5 million a year would enjoy a $325,000 tax cut
Project 2025 would overhaul the U.S. tax system. Here's how it could impact you.www.cbsnews.com Project 2025, a blueprint for the next Republican president, proposes major economic changes that could impact millions of Americans.

Supreme court justices are just a couple million to buy (other judges probably cheaper), this was bad financial management on his part

Elie Mystal making the point: "The only laws, precedents, and norms they believe in are the ones that help them achieve their current political goals. Any rule that stands in the way of their social reordering of America is a rule they feel free to ignore." Sobering and worth a read.
Why do people think Cannon's dismissal won't stand? Two weeks ago, our corrupt Supreme Court declared the president a king despite the founding of this country being, "Fuck kings *specifically.*" Precedent is meaningless now. This is the raw exercise of power for political ends. What am I missing?
The Dismissal of the Trump Documents Case Is Yet More Proof: The Institutionalists Have Failedwww.thenation.com Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to toss the case should dispel any remaining hope that the courts will save us from Donald Trump.

This whole thread is full of great resources for when you're trying to convince your family about just how bad things are right now.
A fun fact about JD Vance is that he's openly backed purging anyone who disagrees with him from the government, comparing it to "de-Nazification," and illegally defying court orders to do so.

He still thinks this, his position on the necessity of an American Hitler is what’s changed
Vance in a private message in 2016: "I go back and forth between thinking Trump might be a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he might be America’s Hitler."
