February 21, former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg posted: \u201cA defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone\u2014especially Congress and the White House\u2014to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nNow the party is torn between those members whose top priority is more tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations, and those who want more tax cuts but also recognize that further cuts to popular programs will hurt their chances of reelection.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nSo Trump and the Republicans have a math problem. It was always incorrect to say it was the Democrats who were irresponsibly running up the debt, but it was a powerful myth, and Republicans have relied on it for at least 25 years. Now, though, there is a mechanical issue that belies that rhetoric: the debt ceiling, which requires Congress to raise the ceiling on the amount the Treasury can borrow.<\/p>\n<p>On January 21, 2025, the U.S. Treasury had to begin using extraordinary measures to pay the debt obligations Congress has authorized. In order for Trump and the Republicans to get their tax cuts, that debt ceiling will have to be raised. But a number of MAGA Republicans are already furious at the growing debt and the budget deficits that feed it, and they say they will not raise that ceiling unless there are extreme cuts to the federal budget. Other Republicans realize that the cuts they are demanding will be enormously unpopular, not least because for all their rhetoric, it is actually Republican-dominated districts that receive the bulk of federal monies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qasimrashid.com\/p\/the-republican-budget-bill-will-kill\" target=\"_blank\">The Republican Budget Bill Will Kill Americans<\/a><br \/>\nI wish I was being hyperbolic, but the facts make clear that the MAGA GOP bill ensures Americans die through sickness, homelessness, and starvation<\/p>\n<p>I have long said that in the United States we do not suffer from a lack of resources for those in need, we suffer because we cannot satisfy billionaire greed.<\/p>\n<p>Last night House Republicans voted to gut Medicaid and slash food and housing assistance for millions, just to hand trillions in tax cuts to 800 billionaires and billion dollar corporations. All this while America already leads the developed world in infant and maternal mortality, lowest life expectancy, and the highest levels of wealth and income inequality. This Republican bill will further exacerbate each of these crises. This bill is not about fiscal responsibility. It is about cruelty and concentrating power in the hands of the ultra-rich at the expense of everyday Americans.

Because no matter what abusers take from their victims, they don&#8217;t want to take the blame. And one of the prerogatives of power is to be in charge of blame, and abusers routinely exercise that power to make their own acts someone else&#8217;s fault.<\/p>\n<p>Let me start with where we used to hear &#8220;she made him do it&#8221; all the time&#8211;in sexual assault and gender violence. The logic was that somehow women were very powerful, which is why they got raped and beat up&#8211;their power consisted in making men to do things, which men were powerful enough in the sense of brute force to do but powerless in the sense of moral agency or self-control to resist doing.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8220;She made him do it&#8221; operates in politics too. The most recent example is Trump&#8217;s declaration that somehow Ukraine&#8217;s President Zelensky was responsible for Russia&#8217;s invasion of his country, declaring &#8220;But he should never have let that war start.\u201d The war began with Russia&#8217;s invasion of Crimea in 2014, well before Zelensky&#8217;s presidency and well into Putin&#8217;s, so there&#8217;s that. As Aaron Blake at the Washington Post notes, &#8220;Since the war\u2019s earliest days, Trump has frequently talked around any sort of blame being cast on Putin&#8230;. Almost every comment deprives Putin of agency and casts what\u2019s happened as a result of the Biden administration\u2019s (and now Zelensky\u2019s) failings.&#8221; Trump envoy Steve Witkoff blamed Ukraine too, saying Russia was &#8220;provoked,&#8221; as if Ukraine was wearing a miniskirt.<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehandbasket.co\/p\/government-destruction-ssa-doge\" target=\"_blank\">The full force of this administration\u2019s destruction is about to hit<\/a><br \/>\nOnce social security checks stop showing up, millions of Americans will finally understand the scope.<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20250227032504\/https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/26\/us\/politics\/trump-putin-russia.html\" target=\"_blank\">In Trump\u2019s Washington, a Moscow-Like Chill Takes Hold<\/a><br \/>\nA new administration\u2019s efforts to pressure the news media, punish political opponents and tame the nation\u2019s tycoons evoke the early days of President Vladimir V.
