Okay. I’m out of jokes. John Kennedy talking about throwing up in his mouth made me throw up in mine. Eric Schmitt is a moron. Katie Britt is the Stepford wife we never asked for, and the GOP should stop wasting everyone’s time with performative bullshit when people are scared and suffering.

Mike Rogers told Michiganders he was an assembly line autoworker who made Chrysler LeBarons. Turns out it was a complete lie. Shameful.

Mike Rogers claims he was an assembly line worker. The UAW said that is stretching the truth. • Michigan Advance
Rogers says he built Chrysler vehicles on an assembly line. Records show his work was at an aftermarket facility that modified vehicles after they left the factory.

The federal government spends more money than it collects in taxes and other revenue. That difference is the federal deficit. Because America has developed this very large structural deficit, the cost of carrying its debt has become one of the government’s largest expenses.
U.S. Treasury has borrowed $155 billion every month of this fiscal year-and is now paying $24 billion a week in interest on its debts
