A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

No thumbs up from Zohran.
Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there.
"It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess..."

Our health care system was already in crisis before Republicans came in and slashed a trillion dollars.
Here’s the truth: our system can't absorb these cuts and keep providing health care to everyone who needs it.
Any budget we pass must restore health care.

The problem, as I noted in my original post, is that the Interim US Attorney appointments are for just 120 days, PER position (not person), and Erik Siebert already used up those 120 days before EDVA judges named him US Attorney and then Trump fired him.

I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man.

WaPo has a story mostly sourced to GOP Congressmen complaining that JD, not Trump himself, is selling Big Ugly Bill.
Further down it explicitly compares how little Trump did to how much Biden did in 2021.
This is the kind of story that can start a flood.

![Nothing focuses attention — and potentially sways voters — quite like a president traveling into a state to tout his party’s policies. His allies are careful not to criticize Trump’s tactics, but some staunch supporters are giving gentle nudges that they would like to see Air Force One moving around more often.
“We’d welcome him in Wyoming. I’d welcome him to go to many more states to talk about the advantages the American people are seeing,” Senate GOP Whip John Barrasso (Wyoming) said Wednesday. “There’s so many good things in this [legislation] that a lot of people aren’t aware of how many good things are in there.”
Trump’s last departure from Washington to discuss domestic policy came on July 15, when he made a 30-minute appearance in Pittsburgh that focused on promoting energy production and AI technology.
He has outsourced the traditional events that most presidents use to promote the passage of big laws to Vice President JD Vance and officials such as Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler. Some lawmakers, however, suggested voters don’t pay as much attention when subordinates show up to promote it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreib6xqqqmiqafzral7zuca5frg3gkpuraf4hzcxf75xt3pax6zp6va@jpeg)
