Braun is such a groveling supplicant. He is no leader and even less of a man. 🤮 One hopes the legislature will hold the line on his matter.
Braun says lawmakers "must show up for work" to redraw legislative maps after call with Trump
The Governor posted on social media shortly after a call with President Donald Trump, who over the weekend voiced his disappointment with Indiana senators for not taking up his call to redraw congress...

Facing an outright revolt among Republicans in the House, despite his efforts to "persuade" some to vote "no" on the release of the Epstein files, Trump suddenly shifts course, declaring that he wants them released... Well, all of those that can be released "legally." 🤔Hmm.

A man with such a fragile and thirsty ego can be manipulated so easily. Good luck, Murka!

This reminds me of his pitch for Trump’s miracle cure “signature” vitamin supplements in 2009, which were available for a bargain price if you signed up for a membership with the Trump Network and submitted a urine test because they customized them to your needs. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

So inflation and cost of living has been going up every month since this administration took over…this administration that promised it would all come down on day 1?

Now it’s because of the previous administration?

The one that had nothing to do with tariffing the entire planet?

Makes sense.

The Senate Republicans' resistance to axing the filibuster is more than mere institutionalist preservation. If the filibuster ends, they have no cover. They are pressured to vote for idiotic and dangerous bills without the cover of a Democratic filibuster preventing them from passing.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

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.

They never say this “liquid” bullshit when it comes to tax cuts for the rich or wars or giving money to their friends (in Argentina) etc

See through it

There's always someone who puts the lie to the polite BS. Often, it's Trump himself to his own officials. This time, it's Tom Emmer to Mike Johnson. www.thebulwark.com/p/tom-emmer-...
Tom Emmer Is the GOP’s Smear Machine
The number-three House Republican combines a mean streak with disregard for the truth.

Other presidents have at least paid respect to the notion that when the campaign is over, they are the president for all America. They do not seek to punish those who did not vote for them, or spew vile rhetoric from their powerful perches against those who dare to criticize them.

Trump and Company know nothing about history... nor many topics germane to their offices.
Trump and Republicans Want to "Un-Cancel" Columbus Day, Erasing Indigenous Peoples Day
In 2023, then-President Biden enshrined Indigenous Peoples Day. Now Trump is blaming left-wing "radicals” and “arsonists” for "canceling" Columbus.
