I am so weary of running around explaining contemporary politics to Democratic senators but Trump has taken the power of the purse from Congress and has made good on his promise to not fund anything he doesn't want to so "guaranteeing a vote in the Senate" is not a thing.

Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing.

Don’t need to tell anyone who has a mind that the United States of America being run by a convicted felon is not what our founding fathers imagined. I’m now joining the fight to help correct that.

As journalists pursue more info about Trump's long-ago friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, his libel lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal reads like a warning to others. The $20 billion damages claim is a notice that "I will try to ruin you." But truth is always the best defense.
