Trade deficit is up. Stock market is crashing. Gas prices are rising. Consumer confidence is down. Grocery costs are soaring. Trump is terrible at managing the economy. Why? Because all he cares about is the billionaires. Not us.

This is a wildly dangerous sign — the idea that there are only five SCOTUS votes for paying congressionally mandated invoices for work *already* done!? This should be as basic a test of Article I as you can get. And that does not bode well for decisions to come.

Good God. The biggest chunk of this is $3 million to determine why women suffer more from asthma than men. They're giving estrogen to male mice to see if that's the culprit. WH describes this as research on "transgender mice". Clearly someone in the Administration can read; they hope you can't.

My hypothesis is that Trump is not interested in mediating a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. He's only interested in restarting his relationship with Putin. In this article, I present evidence to support this hypothesis. Tell me what I got wrong: www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...
