-Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East
-cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration)
-Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs)
-Allied assistance (we’ll need that now)
-Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

To my friends who have autistic kids, it's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong to cause it. It happens during fetal development in the womb and shows up years later. Vaccines don't cause it. It's not environmental. You're not a bad parent.

One thing that 20 years being a pastor taught me is that nothing makes people more angry than when you tell them than their dead relatives don't become angels, and ghosts aren't real. People WANT that tabloid spirituality.

Howie Roseman says the #Eagles won't even scout players who have ever been violent with women:
“I won’t even watch them. I don't even want to talk. I can't go 'He’s really good, he did it 10 years ago and he learned from it.” It just doesn't work for us."

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.
There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

List of countries not subjected to tariffs:
Russia
Belarus
North Korea
Cuba
They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

Apparently the senior lawyers at Willkie Farr were told that unless they handed Trump the PR win, all of their clients’ matters involving the federal government would come to a halt — filings ignored, phone calls unanswered, etc. If true, totally lawless. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Trump Strikes Deal With Willkie, Law Firm of Doug Emhoff
Willkie Farr & Gallagher is committing at least $100 million in pro bono work to causes aligned to “conservative ideals,” President Donald Trump said Tuesday.

DuPage Dems Chair here… we’re leading in 48 of 49 partisan races and only down in the one by 35 votes. Several of our townships have never had an elected Dem, and it’s sweep after sweep tonight.
This is just getting comical now for the DuPage County GOP, in Trump+1 Addison Township (a rare Republican-trending portion of the County):
-The INCUMBENT Republicans for Clerk & Township Supervisor are LOSING
-Democrats are currently winning 4 out 4 Township Board seats, ALL AGAINST INCUMBENTS!
