The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

It’s not super top secret at all. Trump laid it out: Instead of giving the money to the insurance companies, we’ll just just give the money back to the people.

Of course, using the #floridation scam to erase people’s memory is nothing new. There’s a whole bunch of things nobody remembers because fluoridation was used to erase our memories.

Advisers advise; Presidents decide.
And this President set up the system where random people can stick a bug in his ear (only to pop out of his mouth a couple days later).

Trump will take 1 clear lesson from the last 40 days; Never give in on anything. Everybody else will always fold.

Perhaps when he says “We have $20 Trillion coming in” he’s referring to his family’s income, not govt revenues.
INGRAHAM: “Why are people saying they’re anxious about the economy?”
TRUMP: “The polls are fake 🤥. The economy is the strongest ever 🤥. We have $20 Trillion coming in 🤥 . Largely because of the tariffs 🤥.”
Every sentence is a lie.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
