Also seems to tie to Hegseth's goal to reduce the number of 4-star generals/admirals in the Pentagon.

"GOP senators fume" but do exactly nothing to hinder Trump.

Have we reached the point where Taylor Greene is the voice of reason?

Yeah, a typical policy has a $1,000 - $2,500 deductible. Preventative is just small co-pays. But even after you meet your deductible, something like knee surgery will only be covered at 80%. You pay 20% of a huge bill until you hit "out-of-pocket-max" which $5,000 to $7,500 typically.

Firing Powell will result in a sell off of Treasuries leading to interest rate increases, the opposite of which Trump claims to want. More evidence that this was never about the economy or interest rates. It's about personal control of one of the last independent goverment entities.

I am sure this is a new field of "astrology."

Also, he's an undocumented immigrant and journalist!

My first thought was that he'd been influenced by Dürer. Turns out it was the other way around.
