They think that if they all say the same thing we will start to disbelieve our own eyes. Won't work. Just makes them look legitimately insane. There is no way to look at this & believe he was remotely at any risk of dying. He killed her & then said, "Fuckin' bitch."

So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation.

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you

LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times

F: Not a 600% cut

L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

This is nuts!

Why is WAPO writing up anyone’s speculation about who the suspect might be?

I get that Laura’s statements and actions are at times newsworthy given her influence on Trump, but no one’s speculation — outside of a government official’s — should be written up this way.

This deal apparently includes no funding for transit, and major concessions to Republicans.

Democrats tossed Philly under the bus yet Republicans continued to press for more and Dems caved further.

Republicans and Democrats alike have failed Philly and SEPTA.
