Jessica Riedl: The claim that federal budget is so overrun with surplus cash that Washington can afford to spend $1.3 trillion on "rebates" is so detached from reality that I refuse to waste my time walking through the math. 

If that makes sense to you, you are beyond help.

Dr. Amy Acton, Democratic nominee for Gov. of Ohio, was the target of a failed attack by an armed individual this afternoon. I hope Republicans in Ohio and across the country will condemn this and make it clear political violence is always unacceptable. I know Trump will not.

Lots of headlines on SCOTUS mail-in ballots ruling are wrong. A different injunction blocking the executive order still holds and the Post Office's proposed rule will probably be enjoined too. It ain't over yet. Steve Vladeck sets the matter straight: www.stevevladeck.com/p/246-making...

246. Making Sense of the Mail-in Ballots Ruling
The Supreme Court’s grant of a stay in one of the mail-in ballot cases is deeply wrong, but it’s also not the main event over whether Trump’s patently unlawful executive order can take effect.

In 2018, President Trump stood in the Oval Office and said that people seeking asylum should “do it the legal way” by coming here without crossing a border illegally. Now his admin is set to punish people who did exactly that; came on a visa and then applied for asylum.
Unless challenged or revised, the State Department is expected to announce in the coming weeks the revocation of so-called B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 whose holders have sought asylum or are now seeking asylum, according to State Department documents obtained by The Associated Press and two U.S. officials. The action will be taken in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security.
