In Idaho, Trump’s federal tax cuts will cost the state an estimated $155 million in 2026, and $175 million in 2027, according to the governor’s office.

“We’re stealing from Peter to pay Paul,” Idaho State Representative Jordan Redman said. “It’s put us in a predicament where now we’re trying to figure out, ‘Ok, what programs do we keep? What programs do we cut?’”

Idaho State Senator Jim Guthrie told Politico that his constituents weren’t convinced that the short-term benefits of Trump’s tax cuts outweighed the cost of services stripped by shrinking budgets.

“The feedback I’m hearing from citizens is that extra few bucks on their [return] at the end of the year, because of the taxes they didn’t have to pay, comes secondary to wanting us to take care of the things that government needs to be invested in,” Guthrie said. “Which is your infrastructure and your roads and bridges and schools and also your Medicaid population.”

OMG no sh(t! These Rs are f*n stooopid.

Oh, I thought everyone who crossed the border was a criminal for that very reason. That's what we were told. So, HTH is it a surprise to him? He's lucky he's not going to jail for hiring undocumented workers and is a terrible boss.

It's always been a game politicians play: they criticize the other side for funding stuff they claim they don't want, but are secretly glad to have. They just want word ammo against the opposing party. But if the funding lapses, then all hell breaks lose.

Perhaps they should raise this with their all GOP delegation in DC rather than a reporter.

Gonna be lit if these ruby red Republicans end up becoming Democrats in all but name because Republicans finally killed the welfare state, but the catch was that their constituents were actually the main recipients of the welfare state. Bootstraps, indeed.

I guess he should have discussed this with his constituents before casting his vote...

The one dude literally said he hired undocumented workers, voted for Trump who said he was going to deport the undocumented… and he’s surprised they are getting deported?!?!?

University North Texas is facing a projected $45 million shortfall as international student enrollment falls.

Denton County and its economy are built around the University of North Texas. Denton County also went 56/43 for Trump in 2024. That's because most voters there wanted to get rid of immigrants.

Now, as international students disappear, the university is collapsing. They burned down their own house.

This bulldog face chief Justice gave Trump total immunity for all his unlawful and disgusting actions. He emboldened Trump. It’s too bad that he along with the other Trump loyalist will not be the only victims to Trump’s actions, but true American patriots who saw Trump for the greedy, evil, traitorous, narcissist that he is will also suffer.
