"The simplest way to understand the bill is that it’s a massive transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans. The tax cuts overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest and corporations and they are (partially) paid for by slashing funding for health care and food assistance utilized by the poor and working class."

~ Dan Pfeiffer

"Grandin proposed that the American frontier – real and then mythic – always acted as a kind of steam valve for the simmering social violence borne of America’s heterogeneous experiment. When the Western frontier ran out, when the foreign wars of imperialism had been won or lost and there was no more blood and treasure to wage more," (continued in /13)

Nina Burleigh asks, "What does freedom actually mean on July 4th, 2025?" Then she says,

"Historian Greg Grandin, in his 2018 book The End of the Myth, looked at the timing ofTrump One’s big beautiful wall talk and his then-developing obsession with human 'vermin' and enemies within."

Baptist pastor Wendell Griffen says,

"This Fourth of July, the big question is whether - and to what extent - we are willing to stand up for freedom, justice, and democracy and defy Donald Trump’s authoritarianism."

What Andrew Whitehead says is echoed in recent comments of the first American-born pope, Leo XIV, which were about the Christian feast of Pentecost and not the Fourth of July — but are pertinent to the latter holiday:

"In a divided and troubled world, the Holy Spirit teaches us to walk together in unity."

"We can commit to demanding that the hurting, the sick, and the powerless live without fear of violence, receive healing care for their wounds, and be able to exert influence on our communities and nation as bearers of the image of God. Advocating for the rights of our neighbors is the work of Christians.

That sounds like patriotism to me."

Some commentary on this these themes:

Andrew Whitehead, author of the book American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church, explains the difference between the Christian nationalism that drives Republicans today and real, meaningful patriotism:

Construction of concentration camps surrounded by alligators in Florida swamps, where more hapless immigrants will be terrorized?

Ripping healthcare benefits and food benefits from the poorest among us?

The biggest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in US history?

The Fourth and its "celebration" will be … complicated for a lot of Americans this year.

Since tomorrow is a national holiday in the US celebrating the birth of the nation and due to Trump's choice, this year that commemoration coincides with the Republican party ramming his big, beautiful bill down the nation's throat, a lot of people are asking what — or whether — we'll be celebrating tomorrow.

Torture of imprisoned immigrants who haven't even committed crimes?

TPM - Talking Points Memo · ‘No State’ Can Afford To Mitigate GOP Budget Cuts, and ‘That’s the Point’Von Layla A. Jones

This is a list of rural hospitals that the Murder Budget will close.

For your Congress calling purposes.

Remember, they took public lands sales out of the bill because of red state resister pushback! They are all terrified, Murkowardski admitted it. When they are more afraid of us than they are of Trump we win.

There are 35 in Kentucky and 33 in Louisiana. Scroll to the end to see how many rural hospitals would close in your state. Please send this list to 2 people you know so they can see the NAMES of hospitals in their state at risk. This means millions of people not on Medicaid could be impacted. If you rely on a rural hospital that depends on Medicaid patients, you could lose your hospital even though you aren’t on Medicaid or Medicare. For tens of thousands of Americans, driving an extra 15, 30 or even 90 minutes to get care could be the difference between life and death.
