Sort of curious to know why EVERY Republican in the House thought it necessary to block the release of files that their Attorney General assured them do not even exist.

New York City's homicide rate is lower than the nation's as a whole. In Trump-friendly Alabama, the homicide rate is triple the rate in NYC. But Stephen Miller spreads fear of big cities and immigrants because he's a disgusting racist.

Mike Johnson’s “The bill does not increase the deficit” is akin to Donald Trump’s “The sites in Iran were completely obliterated.” Shameless lying to pretend things are better than they know they are.
It would be like FDR saying, “Depression? WHAT Depression?” or JFK saying, "There's no Vietnam."

White House is already making up data and analysis, saying repeatedly that the budget bill will
- not increase the deficit (lie)
- not cut Medicaid (lie)
We are already there.

This is very bad

Ukraine's wildly successful drone attack on Russia was an intricate plan that probably took a year to arrange.
That means when Trump berated Zelensky four months ago for not having the cards, Zelensky knew he had the cards. But, unlike Trump, he's smart enough to know when to keep quiet.
