Mark Warner on Fox: "I may disagree with the president, but I respect the office of the president. I'm probably not gonna be jumping up applauding a lot, but I owe him his due as president. The president has made great, great progress on border crossings. That's something we ought to celebrate."

MASSIVE FISCAL PACKAGE OUT OF BERLIN: 12-20%+ of GDP.

- All defence spending above 1% of GDP not counted for debt brake.
- Federal states can borrow 0.35% p.y. for investment.
Germany is back - economically and militarily.

There's not a single source from the current Republican Congress in this story, which is unfortunate, because the headline suggests the author has people inside the party currently telling them about how their decisions are changing.
"even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making"
"Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination"
