As the FBI’s deputy director, Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief.

While it’s nice Trump can respond to voters’ needs, he doesn’t deserve credit for unfucking something he fucked up in the first place.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday to get rid of tariffs on a broad swath of commodities, including beef, coffee and tropical fruits. It’s part of a response to pressure from consumers who complain prices are too high.

This:
i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.

Our political leaders & media voices must choose. Either use this latest act of political violence to further divide & inflame the American people or de-escalate. Either be partisan or speak the truth that NEITHER side has a monopoly on political violence & ALL sides must stop engaging in violence.
