Waldman: The part of the Constitution that deals with the Supreme Court and all the federal courts is one-tenth the length of the part dealing with the democratically accountable branches, Congress and the presidency. That was what the framers thought was the right balance.

Hang on. According to this, the US uses more than 3,000,000 barrels of diesel a day. Which is apparently about half a million tons. So this deal covers less than a week altogether? (my math is usually terrible so that's probably the problem, but something's off here.)
Chart showing the US uses an average of about 3.8 million barrels of diesel per day

Pay attention. An ambassador nominee needs $100,000. Not a loan…a WIRE. Not to her…to AmEx. “It won't show up anywhere." "Please." That's what Kimberly Guilfoyle reportedly texted a Trump donor on Signal, per the WSJ. She wasn't hiding a debt. She was hiding the paper trail. Ask yourself why

Hold up, I'm confused, probably because I'm nauseous. The passports aren't for visitors, they're for citizens. I don't need to be welcomed, because this is actually my home. On a visa, this would make sense, tho still be tyrannical. On a passport, it's incoherent.

This is an important statement people, and especially elected Dems need to really understand. The current Republican project is one of destruction, by design. Yes, they have other goals, in RFK’s case he’s objectively pro-disease, but their primary metric of success is breaking government.
