If he can have “One Big Beautiful Billl”, why can’t we have “One Big Beautiful Lawsuit?” And push the settlement, including the collection of any fines or incarcerations, within 30 days?

Katie, you are on fire & rightfully so! Really enjoyed this conversation, truth will prevail. Thank you both for keeping it real & educating me with facts that allow conversations with the “less informed”. I’ve gained confidence & inspiration to keep fighting from content like this!!

Katie, history will not look kindly on Democrats who sat on their hands. Especially those who are sitting on their hands in Congress

When they talk about alligators and pythons, I call it'an extermination camp, not just a concentration camp.

The public will not see the worst of the bill's hurting people until 2026. Need to make people of America understand that. Its a shell game of hiding the abnormal way of hiding the facts of what's going on until it's to late to do anything about it.

Any Democrat who isn't fighting deserves the boot come Novermber '26. And anyone (why do I keep saying Kirsten Gillebrand) who doesn't endorse Mamdani can go with them. Enough is enough (as Bernie said NINE years ago)! Income disparity, once Trump's transfers completely take place, will make th Gilded Age look tame.

It wouldn't be the first time Trump or his cronies have destroyed evidence. It's been publicized that Trump has hidden documents as well as flushed some down a toilet.

It’s irony that the fake “Christian Nationalist” (project 2025playbook) is built on republicans lies- the 9th of the 10 commandments of sins. 🏴‍☠️🖤👺

Thank you both for sharing the background on what is going on legally behind the scenes. It gives us some hope with all the BS that is coming out of the White House.
