1) "Salt" Republicans Are Threatening $3,000 Tax Hike on Their OWN Constituents

A handful of House Republicans are threatening to torpedo the Trump Big Beautiful Bill even though the average resident in their district would pay almost $3,000 MORE in taxes next year if they go forward with the threat.

This makes no sense. They are willing to raise taxes on more than 85% of their residents, in order to deliver a big tax break for their richest constituents.

The leader of the House SALT caucus, Mike Lawler of New York, would allow taxes for his voters to rise by $3,500 for every tax filer in his district!

The compromise is to raise the salt deduction from $10,000 to $20,000. The SALT Republicans want a $40,000 cap. NO WAY!

3) WHY Johnny Can't Read

We've rarely seen a more succinct explanation of the problems of public education. The solution for much of this is simple - universal school choice, which is now the law in 17 states and counting.

4) Democrats Lambast Work Requirements They Once Supported

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer attacked the Trump tax bill as the "We Are All Going to Die Act" and accused he Republicans of being "mean" and "so cruel."

Really?

Our friend Deroy Murdock has dug up some old quotes from prominent Dems who once supported work requirements:
* "For too many, welfare has been a way of life," Vice President Al Gore said in 1996, embracing welfare reform. "For too long, it has condemned too many on welfare to a lifetime at the margins of our society. Today we start to change all that."
* Senator Joe Biden of Delaware said that year: "Anyone who wants to receive welfare must sign an individual responsibility contract so that they are forced to agree up front to the conditions placed on receiving the benefit...the mandatory work requirement for anyone receiving welfare."
* Obama told Georgetown University in 2015: "The best anti-poverty program is a job, which confers not just income, but structure and dignity, and a sense of connection to community."

The liberal Brookings Institute did a landmark study finding work requirements in the 1990s were a huge success in reducing dependency and poverty. Why are they cruel today, but not 25 years ago?

Good news: some states are moving ahead with reforms ahead even before Washington does. This month, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds Gov. Kim Reynolds has signed a law implementing work requirements for 171,000 Iowans on Medicaid.

"It is a priority of mine to ensure our government programs reflect a culture of work," Reynolds said. "If you are an able-bodied adult who can work, you should work. We need to return Medicaid back to its intended purpose -- to provide coverage to the people who truly need it."

What's good for Iowa is good for the country.

5) Hawley Endorses Bernie Sanders's $15 Federal Minimum Wage

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has already come out against right-to-work, favors hiking the top marginal income tax rate, is against Medicaid reform, and advocated breaking up America's largest, most successful companies. Now he's pushing a huge hike to the federal minimum wage, effectively outlawing teenagers and others with limited work experience from stepping onto the ladder of economic opportunity. If this is modern-day conservatism, we want no part of it:
