We need to start talking about the fact that Mike Johnson has basically abolished the House of Representatives. He has made himself irrelevant and pointless, shrinking the speakership so much that his role has become a pathetic echo of what it used to be. How sad.

So the government can spend $40,000,000,000 to bail out Argentina and $200,000,000 for Kristi Noem’s private jets.
But when it comes to federal food assistance, "the well has run dry."

SCOTUS is set to hear a case Nov. 5 on the president's ability to establish tariffs far beyond congressional limitations.
We filed a friend-of-the-court brief today on behalf of leading historians of constitutional law to highlight the importance of checks-and-balances in tariff policy.

Trump: The cattle people, they've done very very poorly. And now they're doing well, but the price is up. So what I can see happening is we're going to take some beef because I have to get the price down.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.
