So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

So inflation and cost of living has been going up every month since this administration took over…this administration that promised it would all come down on day 1?
Now it’s because of the previous administration?
The one that had nothing to do with tariffing the entire planet?
Makes sense.
