Maybe one of you can explain to us why this is able to be happening and how any of you can still pretend he's planning to leave.

JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)

Trump and Johnson are prepared to double our health care premiums and keep the government closed just to keep MAGA corruption and their war on the working middle class going. Democrats say no way. Cancel the cuts, expand health care and restore government to the people.

Nexstar, the largest TV broadcaster, needs Donald Trump's approval for a $6 billion deal.
If approved, Nexstar would control TV stations reaching 80% of households — violating the cap set by Congress to protect against monopolies.

Think of an economy as like baking a cake. H1-B visas exist so that if you're out of a specific ingredient, you can Instacart it and keep baking. Add a $100k delivery charge and you'll choose to:
1. Quit baking; or
2. Use an inferior recipe; or
3. Import cake instead of making it
