LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

The GOP operative class is younger, better educated, and more urban than the national average which means their intuitions pull the party to the center.
The Dem operative class is also younger, better educated, and more urban but that means their biases pull Dems off-center.

So, we are raking in so much tariff money (from our own citizens), that we can spend $1.3T to pay everyone $5k, iff Trump wins. Then why is the deficit ballooning? And no, I am quite certain the $5k bribe will be in the same account as our imaginary DOGE checks.

BREAKING NYT: A month after the Trump admin declared without evidence that thousands of noncitizens had illegally registered to vote in Nevada, DHS officials were unable to substantiate the claim — finding just 185 potential anomalies, not the 16,000 claimed last month.

Homeland Security Unable to Prove That Thousands of Noncitizens Registered to Vote in Nevada
The Department of Homeland Security told Nevada election officials that it identified 185 “potential” noncitizens on the state’s voter rolls, not the nearly 16,000 it claimed last month.

It used to be that the shared cost of living with someone (if you didn't pay rent) was counted as income, which didn't necessarily impact SSI payments. But hey, let's cut social welfare so that we have more money for corporate welfare.

Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Alito: California's issuance of driver's licenses to illegal immigrants would justify Florida going to war with California if they weren't part of the same country. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...
As to the first factor, this Court has described as a “model case” a dispute
that “would amount to casus belli if the States were fully
sovereign.” Ibid. (internal quotation marks omitted). In
other words, the Court asks whether the dispute would be
a matter of diplomatic concern in the international arena.
This case appears to meet that standard. A dispute over
one nation sending dangerous people into another “would
be the source of considerable international tension.” Texas,
593 U. S., at ___ (opinion of ALITO, J.) (slip op., at 9). If
Florida were an independent nation, it “might resolve [this]
dispute by diplomacy, by submitting it to international arbitration, or by self-help measures.” Ibid.
