Stephanie Ruhle: This bridge will take toll money away from another bridge that connects Michigan and Canada, and that bridge is owned by a big Trump donor who, on Monday, had a meeting with Howard. Lutnick. Immediately following that meeting, poof, we no longer want this new bridge.

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

Absolutely everyone who endorsed Fetterman in the 2022 PA Senate primaries - especially the "leftists" - owes Conor Lamb a massive apology.
He really is the weakest senator there is. Two people have been murdered, there’s been no accountability, and he believes the Senate is powerless. He believes Trump gets what Trump wants.

Could we talk about Prescott Bush, father and grandfather of presidents Bush?
For whom the best defense against him being part of the thwarted fascist coup of the United States in 1933 was that he was too tight with the actual Nazis to take part in a plot with Nazi-Light here in the US?
