SCOOP — Members of DC National Guard are preparing to carry M17 pistols, multiple sources confirm to me.
This follows earlier reports that the guard reversed course and would soon be arming members in DC. Now we know they’re making sure they meet requirements if/when the order to arm them comes.

Sullivan: Trump goes out and says, “We have to deal with Japan. Japan’s going to pay this amount of money, and I get to decide what happens with the money,” etc., etc. And then within hours the Japanese come out and say, “Uh, no, that’s not our understanding of the deal.”

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
