@cdarwin@c.imSen. Mike Lee is trying to shoehorn a provision into
Trump’s Tax Bill that would bring

If passed, this bill would give radicals in the Trump administration the power to declare our land “excess”
and sell it to private developers and fossil fuel interests.

@cdarwin@c.imDemocrats have an age problem
House Republicans managed to pass their draconian budget bill,
-- which promises to make massive cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and food assistance,
-- early Thursday morning by a narrow one-vote margin
💥that was only possible due the deaths of three Democrats in this current Congress.
The latest Democrat to pass away was 75-year-old Representative Gerry Connolly of Virginia, who died on Wednesday after battling esophageal cancer.

@grumpybozo@toad.socialIt is not AI that is driving tech layoffs. It’s the massive change in R&D writeoff rules that kicked in for TY2022, from the 2017 Trump tax bill.
The ability to “expense” R&D costs was in place for decades and arguably drove US innovation by making it cheap. Now R&D is amortized over 5 years for US work, 15 years for non-US work. The current reconciliation bill would bring back expensing of domestic R&D costs.

@cdarwin@c.imAt a topline glance, Trump's Big Budget Bill is an outrage:
large tax cuts for the rich and millions kicked off health insurance,
almost a parody of what an apparently fragile coalition of contemporary conservatives might abide
(if also a bill that raised the eyebrows of a few debt scolds, including Musk).
But because it is also a one-stop legislative omnibus,
rushed so quickly through the House that Republican representatives are now protesting they didn…
