The “Big, Beautiful Bill,” or what we’re calling the MAGA Murder Budget (credit to
), has made its way out of the house and is on to the Senate, where hopefully somebody kicks on the brakes, even a little bit.If you’ve been paying attention (and if you’re reading this, you probably have), then you know that this bill represents one of the greatest wealth redistribution schemes in our country’s history. It’s not that most of the benefits of this budget go to the top half. Or the top quarter. Or even the top 10% of earners in America. No. This bill is the biggest diamond in the tiara that sits on the heads of the .1%.
Again, though. This has been covered — and, by and large, the coverage has been good (especially here on Substack). But
noticed a single sentence in the behemoth bill that didn’t have anything to do with the budget, but everything to do with keeping Trump’s crime spree rolling without consequences.I’m going to let you watch the video for David’s more expert explanation, but let’s just say that the regime is very quickly — but methodically — destroying our ability to hold them accountable for literally anything. In this case, it has everything to do with being held in contempt of court (which they do not like).
Maybe doing away with that would have been good for Vinny (see below), but it’s a catastrophe for our Democracy.
The Lincoln Square / Pepperspectives party will continue next Thursday at 12p ET. We will loosen the knots of complexity and tell you the story in a way you can repeat it at the next rally.
