Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Inflation stopped being a problem.
The economy was sunnier.
Trump *did* know about Project 2025.

People look for negative things about a person during the confirmation process? How dare they? 😏 Wait... why do we even have confirmation hearings.
Markwayne Mullin on Hegseth’s drinking:
TAPPER: Drinking at 10 in the morning, that’s a drinking problem.
MULLIN: Yeah & there’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too.
TAPPER: A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM…is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department.💥
