Tom Emmer talks tough, reveals weakness • Minnesota Reformer
“The Democrats,” Emmer said this week, “would rather cater to the pro-terrorist wing of their party than to reopen the government." Like my mother-in-law?

The Trump Administration can gaslight about Signal-gate all they want, but this isn’t rocket science—a new YouGov poll shows 74% of us think it’s a serious problem.
Bottom line: Military operations should never be discussed on Signal. The public gets it.

Let's talk benefit programs.
Things like Social Security and Medicare rely on stable population and workforce growth.
That way people working today pay into those programs to support current beneficiaries, and so on.
Immigration is *key* to making the numbers work.

Baseline takeaway: Our national debt is spiraling out of control.
And it could get worse. Fast.
This ⤵️ is what CBO says will happen under current law.
But Trump and Republicans are working on a major tax cut that will spike the national debt even more. And that's not reflected in this data.

How do you dismantle government? By bankrupting it. Just as baby boomers are all retiring 🤯
Hi! 👋 I'm @washingtonpost.com's economy geek in Congress, and today the Congressional Budget Office put out some long-term projections about the national debt.
And *some* of that stuff is pretty important. So lets unpack with a quick thread. Hopefully, you'll learn something new.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.
