I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Róbert Berény. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little."
Yes, really.

Hassett's invocation of the Laffer Curve should be your tipoff that this is ALL bullshit.
The best possible explanation for the $2000 tariff rebate idea is that Trump is trying to prep the political ground for losing at SCOTUS, ginning up backlash to his PROMISE to pay back the tariffs.

QUINTANILLA: What's more likely -- a $2,000 tariff rebate check or a 50 year mortgage?

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

If you don’t club Schumer over the head with a Looney Tunes sized mallet and then expel the rest of the yes votes from the party, you can shut the fuck up.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.
