I guess someone told Trump #SCOTUS is likely to void the tariffs, so he's turning up the heat. Treasury has been saying it is taking in $30B a month in all tariffs, disputed and not. Simply no way that adds to $3 trillion even if #SCOTUS waits til June to rule.

NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028.

Trump says he didn't really need to demolish the East Wing to build his fancy ballroom, but he just didn't like it and wanted it gone.

He also claimed he's built many many ballrooms and "This will be one of the greatest ballrooms in the world.”

SNAP embarrassed him. So now he's against SNAP. SNAP is now the James Comey of government assistance programs.

Last night's so-called deal was a tragically disappointing result for the millions of Americans who are facing higher health care costs next year, and for our efforts to confront this bully of a President. I voted no.
