Trump just rammed through his massive spending bill, but his coalition is already splitting apart at the seams.

Musk is launching his own political party after Trump threatened to nuke his subsidies, House Homeland Committee Chair Mark Green cashed out for a mysterious business deal, and Trump’s admitting he can’t deliver on campaign promises while still exiling migrants to war zones.

The megabill was supposed to cement his power, but instead it’s exposing how transactional and fragile his alliances really are. The July 17 national rallies matter because organized resistance can create additional wedges. Remember that the world’s richest man was firmly on Team Trump just a couple of months ago.
