As part of the 1990s welfare reform, a federal fund was set up so poor single mothers could afford childcare for their kids while they themselves went back to work. Trump—possibly illegally—wants to raid that fund to instead give money to married couples who want a parent to stay home with kids:

September may be coming to an end, but we can work to prevent our country’s devastating gun suicide crisis year-round. Among the most effective ways to save young lives is to ensure guns are always stored securely — unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

Yes, Republicans. The entire news cycle on your moronic Jack Smith hearing will now be dominated by Eric Schmitt’s basketball game buffoonery and John ‘Foghorn Leghorn’ Kennedy asking Smith about the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. Brilliant job, once again by the feckless fools.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Would be comic if it were not vicious. Actually it’s both. Sen Schmitt framed a whole perjury suggestion on the basis of Jack Smith’s attending an Atlanta Hawks game and surreptitiously seeing Fulton County prosecutor. In fact it was Iowa Hawkeyes (Caitlin Clark) in College Park Maryland

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.
