Want another example of the White House treating Republican Members like garbage? The WH is trying, again, to jam through an unrelated AI moratorium on states after the first try failed 99-1.
The White House has largely ignored rank and file Republican Members on AI issues.

Fascinating grievance from an unnamed House Republican to @jakesherman.bsky.social: "This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. ... They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies." punchbowl.news/article/hous...
What MTG got right

Ahead of Thanksgiving and amid frustration among American consumers over affordability, President Trump has recently insisted, often wrongly, that prices and costs were coming down. Here is a fact-check of some of his recent claims.
Fact-Checking Trump’s Latest Claims on Affordability

When your defense is that Trump publicly being a sexist, vulgar old man is better than Trump privately being a sexist, vulgar old man, you are losing.
