Yeah I know the tariff thing is a live question but the other piece of this, him just spending some money coming into the treasury however he wants without appropriation from Congress, how’s that meant to work?

I don’t like that the president can impose his own taxes and determine how those taxes should be spent independent of Congress.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

4) While Trump did this all his lackeys nodded along behind him at the press conference and this particular lie has barely gotten any news coverage.

Don't let him just say stuff!

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
