Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

What’s really going on with the economy?

Why we’ll have a recession
Trump wants to get it over early in his term, so he and his fellow billionaires can buy up everything cheap and then enjoy the ride upward
