Rule of Law? Originalist? Text, history, and tradition? Republicans supposedly support these. 🤷

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded:
“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid.
Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt.
Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Trump and Duffy need to stop whining and do their jobs.
For the record:
Secretary Buttigieg hired thousands of air traffic controllers and asked Congress to fund 2,000 more in 2025.
During Trump's first term, the number of air traffic controllers decreased EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

Last month, Gov. Mike Braun (R) signed into law Senate Bill 10 (SB 10), which bans the use of university-issued IDs as valid voter identification at the polls. A new lawsuit calls this a “surgical attack” on student voting access as Indiana continues to allow other, less secure forms of voter ID.
