4. Yes. It could kill the current version of the MAGA Murder Budget

May 29

But he will be bullying his sycophants' to "fix it" by enacting tariffs as part of the Murder Budget.

As long as the question is up in the air, it certainly complicates things for Thune.

My hopes:
1. They don't pass anything before July 4
2. A massive anti-47 coalition finds creative ways to "own" the 4th and get A LOT of people into the streets.
3. The public's animosity toward the MAGA Murder Budget and toward 47 and his cronies in the regime is so visible that the 47 sycophants in the House and Senate are more frightened of their voters tossing them out than they are of the threat of a primary challenge funded by unlimited dollars from 47's enforcer Musk.

And, if Musk has actually broken with 47 over the Murder Budget, that threat could seriously lose power.
