LEGALLY

Everything the GOP does is to satisfy Trump's personal need for greed.

No mention yet on how the Senate handled their suicide mission to cut Medicaid and Medicare.

And didn't Elon Musk say he wouldn't give financial help in 2006 for any Senator who voted for this bill?

I wonder if Musk will change his mind if Trump vows to cancel Musk's federal grants?

I don't know who has whom by the short hairs this time. They both seem to have boxed themself into a cage match to the death.
