This week on The Lonely Liberal, we break down all the big stories you need to know:

• Big Beautiful Bill Passes: Permanent Trump tax cuts, massive ICE and defense boosts, $930B cut from Medicaid, $186B slashed from SNAP, and clean energy credits gutted — with a projected $2.8–$3.4 trillion deficit spike.
• Zohran Mamdani Drama: Trump and GOP reps threaten to deport NYC’s first Muslim mayoral nominee, with quotes showing open Islamophobia and red-baiting.
• Elon Musk vs. Trump: Elon fires back at Trump’s deportation threat by floating his own “America Party.”
• Paramount Settlement: Paramount pays Trump $16M to settle a defamation suit over a 60 Minutes interview — press freedom watchdogs call it “bribery in plain sight.”
• Texas Floods: 71 killed as forecast failures highlight the deadly cost of Trump’s weather-service cuts.
• RFK Jr. Wants AI to Approve Drugs: New push to automate FDA approvals sparks trust and safety fears.
• Farm-Work Amnesty: Trump says undocumented immigrants can stay if they work on farms — labor advocates slam it as exploitative.
• P Diddy Verdict: Acquitted of major charges, but faces sentencing for lesser convictions.
• Trump’s Perfume: Yes, Victory by Trump is real — his new fragrance line sells the “scent of American greatness.”
• “Mr. Japan” Gaffe: Trump calls Japan’s Prime Minister “Mr. Japan,” sparking diplomatic headshakes and meme mayhem.
• “Alligator Alcatraz:” Trump made his Mamdani threat while touring a new migrant detention camp in the Everglades.
