Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Does having multiple large holes in the wall pose some sort of security threat? Because it sure seems like it would.

“The $11 billion in funding, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, is slated for programs…”

The chance that they end up being disappeared directly to a prison in El Salvador is not zero.

Can someone explain in 10 words or less why we are beefing with Venezuela? Did they actually do something wrong or did they just not pay the protection money?

Curious to know what they think the “broad range” of things the Second Circuit allows to get raised when there is a waiver is.

In the past 6 weeks I have mailed 5 envelopes by certified mail to 4 different addresses and from 2 different post offices. 3 of those have simply vanished while “moving through the network” according to the tracking numbers. No way will I be voting by mail anymore.
