  • The Daily Blast: Trump Rages over GOP Bill Fiasco as Elon Musk Admits to Its Core Scam

    The Daily Blast: Trump Rages over GOP Bill Fiasco as Elon Musk Admits to Its Core Scam
    Jun 4 2025
    President Trump has been tweeting wildly and angrily over the fate of his “big, beautiful bill.” He’s been lashing out furiously at Democrats and at GOP Senators alike over their opposition, suggesting Senate passage may be in serious doubt. Then Elon Musk threw a grenade into the proceedings, unleashing a pair of tweets that ripped the bill as a “disgusting abomination” that will explode the deficit by trillions of dollars. Amusingly, Musk was being dishonest in his own way, but he still upended the scam that Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson have concocted to sell this bill. We unraveled all this with New Republic senior editor Alex Shephard, author of a new piece arguing that Musk’s damage is only beginning. He explains how all this fits into the 50-year story of Republicans gutting programs for the poor to make the rich richer. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

I look forward to reading Brian's book. Every day I find myself wishing the average American could understand that behavioral disorders are a driving force in government and so very prevalent. It corrupts everything like a malignant cancer. I'm hoping that accountability for those in the former administration will raise awareness in more people, and better candidates and choices will be made in the future. We have a long way to go.
