You are a wonderful speaker of truth. At this point, I'm sure that Democrativ AG's and constitutional lawyers are our best bet. It seems that the resistance, in some ways, arrives with more conflict. We must stay strong, advocate for the truth and have hope things will be better. Vote those clowns OUT !!!

America’s Inflation was the lowest in G7 and had the highest economic growth during the Covid Recovery years. People have been put through the wringer and let’s be clear, this Big Beautiful Debt Bomb of a bill is going to hurt youngest American’s the most. We gotta do better. $3.3 trillion more added to our debt ($4.5 trillion of this bill goes to the tax cuts disproportionately goes to the wealthiest among us)

After months of posing as the manly man who would stand up to Trump’s cruel & financially reckless bill declaring in a NYT op ed (5/12/25) that "slashing health insurance for the working poor" would be "morally wrong and politically suicidal" Senator Josh Hawley & his ilk in Congress sure know how to scurry away. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/opinion/josh-hawley-trump-bill.html?smid=url-share

Today’s Republicans are Republicans in name only, they are otherwise, pathetic minions of an authoritarian. Part of me says let the racist, bigoted Trump voters get exactly what they voted for. The other part feels for their ignorance and gullibility for believing in and trusting a conman. Sadly, many lower income and middle class individuals likely believe Trump did what is in their best interest. Shame.

Thank you your post today. We need more politicians like you who care about the public not the billionaires and corporations. What is contained in Project2025 and the recently signed budget bill are going to destroy our country and the institutions which provide services to our citizens.

Yes! Reverse Robin Hood: Take from the poor and give to the rich. Shameful!

This kind of insight is why I volunteered for Patrick's Congressional campaign in 2006. He finds where the impact is necessary, goes to where the silence is, and speaks the truth! Always!

Thank you for calling out the bullies who are after the marginalized in American society. A patriot supports all of people in their country. The BBB supports only the top 10%! You are an advocate for all of us! Keep it up!

Reading your presentation....I can only give my opinion...I know it is not respected...I just don't understand how the citizens of America themselves calmly accept such a law??? So is the Trump force so strong that there should be no resistance??? Unfortunately, facing price increases is an everyday occurrence here...Government corruption is highlighted here...So I think Americans have a higher awareness that they could resist...I certainly agree with your opinion Mr. Murphy...
