NEW: We knew in April that DOJ was investigating Hutchinson. Now NBC reports they are seeking a grand jury indictment for lying to Congress. The thing is, she didn't lie to Congress. She testified truthfully about what someone else told her. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

I’m also going to point out (sheepishly, becuase I do not like the guy) that Ossoff is just incredibly hot, and whether or not people are open about that mattering in politics, it matters. We’d rather (perhaps unconsciously) see a handsome suit dish out insults to the enemy.

Trump’s tariffs were meant to shrink the trade deficit—but the $106 billion gap just reached its widest since before ‘Liberation Day’
The Trump administration has called the trade deficit a “national emergency,” but economists say it’s actually a sign of a resilient American economy.
