I asked Grok "Is JD Vance a suck up?"
Here's my favorite part of the response:
"Public opinion leans negative—polls and sentiment analysis from 2024-2025 show him as one of the least popular VPs in modern history, with terms like "unlikeable" and "grifter" dominating discourse."

Treasury Sect Bessent, 63, revealed to Fox News that coffee & bananas would also be [tariff] exempt.
“That will bring the prices down very quickly,” he claimed, adding that the Trump admin “inherited this affordability mess.”
Sure, it is the Biden food tariffs being exempted for affordability.

Shocked.
Apparently foreign exporters are not "eating the Tariffs" as Trump regularly claims, rather, it is **Americans who cannot eat because of the tariffs.**
That's different.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Some thoughts on the CR/minibus.
1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins.
Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.
