Who imposed tariffs?
Who cut immigration, destroying the ag workforce?
Who undermined the Fed?
Who halted renewable energy?
Who's running deficits?
Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

A lot of people who would rather be broke or have their businesses fail than an illegal immigrant get health care, to the point where they’ll accept the former when the latter isn’t even on the table www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

Back in 2017, Trump revealed, in a friendly interview with the NYT, that he literally did not understand how health insurance works. The NYT editors bailed him out instead of following up. I wrote about it then, and I still think about it all the time: www.commonwealmagazine.org/man-who-knew...

He had over a decade to come up with a plan

He lied-many times over-about formulating a better, cheaper plan

About releasing a plan in two weeks

About having the “concept of a plan”

There never was any plan

And now-with the country facing ruin-in complete desperation

He doesn’t know what to do
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."

This capitulation will only embolden Trump to target other universities and institutions. This helps no one and only feeds the beast.

We must continue to stand with those who resist Trump’s lawlessness and call out those who don’t. Shame on Cornell.

So the story goes:
1-Trump sees high beef prices
2-Decides to quadruple Argentine imports
3-Gets condemned by ranchers saying that's not the problem
4-after being dogwalked, decides to do what the Biden admin was already doing on meatpackers (there's an active lawsuit)

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.*

Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.
