Every single one of my Republican Ways and Means colleagues just voted to oppose much-needed transparency into why and how Musk has sought treasury payment information and American’s sensitive data.

Made a mistake on the interest payment numbers. I took short term debt that needs to be refinanced and incorrectly extrapolated. So the interest savings won't be as significant as I stated.
Their bet is that if rates fall to 1%, mortgages get cheap, businesses borrow cheap , but more importantly for Elon and his boys, it's easy to raise capital. It's easy for PE to find capital to buy their businesses. Stocks go up. Business valuations go up. It's UBI for asset owners.

this guy’s distinguishing quality is his boundless contempt for anyone who voices the slightest disagreement with him. you can see in his voice and mannerisms that he thinks he’s better than everyone around him. (which to my mind is just compensation for his palpable self-loathing)
Seniors came to JD Vance's event to demand the Trump Administration stop cutting Social Security.
JD's response:
"Don't you all have jobs?"

It's really notable that Chief Judge Pryor, a staunch conservative, not only joined but actually authored the majority opinion upholding Florida's ban on gun purchases by 18-20 year-olds. I think this decision increases the odds that the SCOTUS upholds similar laws around the country.
CA11, 8-4, upholds FL’s ban on gun purchases for under-21s.
Three Republican judges (GWB/Trump/Trump) join all the Dem judges over the dissents of the other four Trump judges.

The fight for D.C. isn’t lost yet, but it isn’t over either: If the House doesn’t pass this bill quickly, our budget will still be decimated.
If you’re lucky enough to have congressional representation, consider calling your House member and asking them to expeditiously approve it.

The unconscionable Republican CR cut $1 billion in funding for D.C. – funds that have literally already been paid for by D.C. residents.
So we introduced a bill tonight to ensure that D.C. receives the tax dollars it is owed. The Senate just passed it.
