Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

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

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Trump's ballroom ain't bringin' down the price of groceries or the cost of healthcare.

Trump literally cares more about Argentina than Americans.
WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Ok, lets look at the facts folks. This will be a multipost.

Harken back to 1948, but here is what I am seeing.

1. The "Coast Guard" just bought the DHS secretary two jumbo jets.

2. They just handed Argentina, a country who threw open the gates to the last of the Third Reich, $40 billion.

The entire East Wing gone. The price of the "ballroom" is now up to $300,000,000. This is no longer the people's house, he's building himself a palace.

Trump pardons his criminal Crypto buddies, bails out Argentina, attacks his critics, and demonizes Americans, all while destroying the White House and the US in his bid for money and forever power.
