Even if you are leader of the free world, you don’t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so.

There’s no such thing as a “screening” MRI.

I just called Missouri DC senators and reps for my district on the SNAP situation. First you never get a human for the senators. And the person who answered for the rep argued with me. After I said you need to look at the special elections Dems are winning and will continue to win.

WELKER: Why didn't the president tell the public he was going to tear down the entire East Wing, which as you know is part of the people's house?

BESSENT: Well, I think this was a judgment call on the president. The president is a master builder. It could've been asbestos. It could've been mold.
