Since May, tariff refunds have amounted to 113% of new tariff collections.

That's a net loss of $15 billion for the Treasury.

Jasmine Crockett tells me she feels vindicated after she was criticized for her focus on supporting down-ballot candidates following her Senate primary loss to James Talarico:

“I know the demographics of my state. I know who’s voting, who’s not been voting. And frankly, every single thing that I said came to pass, even for the editorial boards that did not go into endorsements or lack thereof because of my platform, experience, but instead focused on the fact that my strategy was to do exactly what happened in Texas, which is that I wasn’t going to go after MAGA.

“And they said that you could never win that way. Well, guess what? Black and brown [people] showed up, and that is why Texas went blue.”

JEFFRIES on this letter:

“The White House has been used to a Republican Congress that's been nothing more than a reckless rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme agenda. A Democratic Congress is going to be a check and balance on an out-of-control executive branch in the face of unprecedented corruption that they've unleashed on the American people. And if they don't like it, consult the Constitution.”

@OldGenderQueer No Chuck need to be pushed to have a clear agenda and that is what is caucus is telling him.

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

Seems very few senators are willing to commit because senators do not know Chuck’s vision or if he is the right man for the job. Winging it won’t work this time, so I don’t blame them.

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

Dem Sen. Raphael Warnock non-commital on Schumer: “I think we're at an inflection point in our country. The voters are demanding that we stand up and fight for them and so any member of my caucus that feels like they should lead in this moment, I look forward to hearing their case,” he told me.

House rules say a roll call vote lasts a minimum of 15 minutes.

In reality, the party holding the gavel controls when the vote actually ends and can hold it open for hours if needed.

Come January 3rd, Democrats will take control of the gavel and the clock.

@JabariBrisport You don’t need investigation we know why and they told us. Get a grip.

Garcia rejects the idea that his “lawyer up” tweet was a mistake

“I don't know how thin-skinned you have to be. I don't know if anyone ever reads the president's Truth Social messages. I mean, give me a break. I mean, they cannot take any sort of heat at this moment.”

[tré easton @treeaston]

We can and should have a healthy debate about universal health care on the Democratic side but all parties are going to need to be straightforward about the political and policy tradeoffs.

There is simply not a political mandate for the abolition of private insurance as we know it in this country, and single-payer proponents simply must stop behaving as if there is.

@moto_JJ I want a million dollars but doesn’t mean I am gonna get it

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

@DevinHargrave2 So embarrassing

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

A grown man running to camera to spread gossip and not name names is a bitch.

[Nicholas Wu @nicholaswu12]

Asked Rep. Kaptur, dean of the OH delegation: “I certainly didn’t hear that”
“We had a nice dinner the other night with all of our members. I think they were all there. We have eight, and I sat next to him, and I talked to him earlier in the day because I really didn't know him”

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

I appreciate him for taking accountability.

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@RepHorsford (D-NV) says a personal emergency kept him from attending Hegseth vote: "I take full responsibility. The accountability I demand of others applies to me too."

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

@LibertyBondsDog No one knows him which is what made what he said so weird

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

@theinternet5487 @jesejr1 @Twix29836361 They were already there, left and didnt make it back on time. Leader is not a babysitter.

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

Reactionary people really work my nerves. Furthermore, not everything that happens in Congress is some grand conspiracy orchestrated by Israel. Some of you are bat-shit crazy.
