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?

President Gustavo Petro of Colombia said his government believed one of the boats recently bombed by the United States in its campaign against alleged drug traffickers had been carrying Colombian citizens, not drug traffickers.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

This is the kind of thing you can expect from Texas (and the FBI) as Texas has announced it will be infiltrating leftist groups. One of their goals is to provoke terrorist activities and then claim the left is terrorist.

In the case of Eric McDavid, alleged to be ring-leader of eco-terrorist cell, ‘game-changing’ documents seen exclusively by the Guardian show informant may have entrapped him

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

How flowery the gentlelady’s language is. “I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare, “Affordable Care Act” bullshit started.”

The Bulwark @thebulwark.com · 1d

What’s notable about the Republican intraparty health care debate is the divide that exists between those who lived and worked through the repeated failures of repeal-and-replace in the late 2010s and those who were not yet in Congress. www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...

"Making the rigged election claim to the military now, retroactively, is a half-step. By stating it as fact and forcing the general staff to accept it, he is laying the predicate to make such a claim directly to the military in the future." www.thebulwark.com/p/legal-orde...
