Trump said it was terrible, during the campaign, that people couldn't afford an apple. Honeycrosp, today, at my ShopRite: $1.16 each. Enough apples for a pie? Almost $7!!

I will never tire of reading how we mopped the floor with Republicans a week ago. Everything Trump does appears to dig the hole even deeper for them. His dog whistles simply aren't working now. It took long enough.

It's not up to the SC justices to consider HOW the US would return the $ if Trump's tariff scheme is Unconstitutional! It is their job to interpret the Constitution. Period.

Trump: "What I basically said the ones that stayed—there were a lot of them—I’m sending them a $10,000 bonus."
Ingraham asked, “Where is that money coming from?”
Trump said, “I don’t know. I will get it from some place. I always get the money from some place, regardless. It doesn’t matter.”

Sens Durbin, Rosen, Letterman, Castro, Shaheen, Hassan, Kaine, King caved when the pressure was finally strong enough to produce results. Everyone who endured the pressure of the last 40 days was let down. They have neutered their party for a year. But most of them arent running. Schumer failed us.
