An important detail of today's shooting is that Utah is one of only two states in the country that allow campus carry. I hope that this decision is revisited.

Deploying the D.C. National Guard
The president’s concerning use of the D.C. National Guard relies on incredibly broad and outdated statutory law and a history of maximalist executive branch practice.

Trump knows SDNY prosecutors seeking to indict Epstein and Maxwell didn’t ask questions about him in their grand jury presentations while he was POTUS. It’s a red herring to distract from the evidence that matters: witness interview notes, videos, photos, etc.

If you say deficits are a dire threat to the country but raising taxes is somehow off limits, then you do not actually think deficits are a dire problem.
For 50 years GOP has employed 3 big scams:
*deficits pose dire threat only when Dem is in WH
*tax cuts for rich pay for themselves
*safety net cuts needed to purge welfare cheats
w/this bill, Trump's "working class GOP" is supercharging all three

Would the billionaires subsidize their Govt
This would hurt seniors of which I am one but not working class Americans.
