If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Trump’s daddy had a hard time with Donald. He asked for help from his well known pastor-Dr Reverend Norman Vincent Peal of the Marble Collegiate Church and author of “The Power of Positive Thinking”. But Peal thought Donny needed mental/emotional help… which daddy Trump ignored. And so here we are…

AG Pam Bondi had pre-prepared attack lines to use to deflect from answering questions posed by Senator @whitehouse.senate.gov at today’s hearing, including a note to respond to questions about Epstein by saying Whitehouse took money from Reid Hoffman.

I'm on the record saying that Russ Vought will do things during the shutdown that will make his illegal rescissions visible in the way they otherwise weren't. And boy howdy, threatening to ignore the law on backpay is a great example. [corrected]

Shaheen, a retiring Dem Rs are looking to flip on shutdown, says of OMB threats on back pay:

“It would be a lot easier to resolve the situation if Russ Vought would stop talking.”

Jeffries: What is John Thune doing? What are they doing? What, five times they've brought this dead on the arrival partisan Republican spending bill to the floor for a vote, and it's gone down five times. That's legislative insanity, doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
