Bessent lies shamelessly: "We came in, we inherited a mess. We have brought the inflation down." (Prices have risen by nearly 2 percent since Trump took office.)

In one email from April 2011, Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell: "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump."
BREAKING:
House Democrats just released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims — among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. tinyurl.com/5yj3dfpx

Jeffries: Democrats are going to offer an amendment to get that self dealing sick provision out… The notion that Republicans would give themselves the ability to rip millions of taxpayer dollars away so they can line their pockets, because these people were insurrectionist sympathizers is insanity.

So Dems demanded an extension on subsidies or else. Then they caved. The GOP being smart is now adding abortion restrictions to a subsidies extension forcing Dems to either sell out on abortion or vote no on the subsidies they demanded in the first place.
They just keep getting clowned.
