In 1935 the Supreme Court established that Congress can pass laws limiting the president’s ability to fire executive officials of independent federal agencies.

Two Trump appointed appeals court judges just cancelled that decision. Said Trump can fire anybody.

Persuasive liars lie persuasively.

Which is why just relying on facts--about elections, cost of living or lawlessness--no matter how favorable to Democrats they may seem--may not be enough to win the midterms.
