To slow inflation Congress could...raise taxes and not spend so much.
Asserting that Washington lacks options confuses political cowardice with economic inability.
THIS ... This is what I'm talking about. If Dems retake Congress, the entire appropriations process is going to need to be redone to stop this kind of chicanery. Moving hundreds of millions of dollars within the NPS for "improvements" to the WH grounds. Nope. Not gonna happen.
Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal?
Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held, to prevent interference or intimidation.
You’d think an Attorney General would know this.
<Whispers> Maybe Democrats could take a break from fighting with each other and instead focus on Republicans circling the wagons around yet another abuser in their ranks.
So, I completely understand secreting POTUS away from a credible assassination attempt.
But leaving the entire Air Force One crew, press pool, etc. to play decoy is some sick shit.
Huffington Post: The chair of the Republican National Committee says they will fund Max Miller's re-election campaign despite allegations of domestic violence.
RNC chair Joe Gruters: "I always tell people that there’s not many things worse than divorce and watch these processes play out. Nobody’s a winner."

all the shitposting in the world won't change the fact that Trump lost his war of choice in Iran resoundingly and drastically diminished the US military in the process
ICU doc here. Just so you know, neither of these are “solutions.”
No hospital will accept untested blood from some rando on your pretend “registry.” No hospital will take blood from someone who shows up, even if they call themselves a “pureblood.”
If you are critically ill and need a transfusion your options are:
1. Accept a transfusion of properly screened/tested blood from an actual blood bank
2. Decline a blood transfusion
Today, I visited Fort Knox to see the gold.
Since the Fed opened in 1913, the dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power.
$100 back then is worth $3,300 today. That's because Congress spends into oblivion, with no regard for our national debt. At the same time, the Fed prints the difference.
Trump has mutated the GOP into an impotent facade while he and cronies engage in predatory kleptocratic partnership between a criminal state and private monopolies/cabals/oligarchies, built on manipulation of the free markets and plunder rather than capitalism or social welfare.
You'd think this POS would have the common decency to just shut. the. fuck. up. Like, you literally had the chance to vote down RFK Jr. and you didn't. You're angling for a profile in courage award for confirming Trump's personal lawyer as AG. Get fucked.
Senator Bill Cassidy - a medical doctor and liver disease specialist - cast the deciding vote to confirm @SecKennedy and spoke on the floor about the assurances he received that Kennedy - and the admin - would not change existing vaccine recommendations.
Now Iran is saying they won’t negotiate until Trump leaves office. I don’t understand what went wrong, we sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers to negotiate after having such a well thought out plan of attack six months ago.
