Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Nurses save lives every single day, and now the Dept. of Education wants to make their degrees harder to afford. In the middle of a national shortage. It makes ZERO sense.
I work beside these heroes. I see what they give. And I’m not staying quiet while Washington makes their path even harder.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

The majority in Congress deliberately abolishing their own power might legitimately be a problem the Founders never considered.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.
