PAINFUL to watch. There’s a clear Trump judicial nominee loyalty test.
They must forever deny, deny, deny that he lost the 2020 presidential election.

He’s rebranding the Congressionally approved troop housing subsidy, calling it a “warrior dividend” bonus.
More than $2.9B in reconciliation funds were already allocated for troop housing allowances.
Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks.
