remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

The guy who proclaimed the Iowa Hawkeyes are the Atlanta Hawks also said a month ago that anyone who thinks Michigan fans say "beat Ohio" doesn't know ball. The absolute goat in the crowded "Republicans don't know ball" marketplace. Yes he voted for his govt to control college sports, why do you ask

For some of these majors, governments are a primary employer. So this rather self-defeatingly deters people from entering those fields, meaning 5 years down the line, oops, there’s a shortage of qualified teachers & social workers prepared to work for public-sector wages.

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse.
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers.
OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

This is undoubtedly another act of sabotage specifically requested by a foreign adversary in a conservation with a Trump family member about a financial transaction. There's no explanation for this other than "Trump was paid to do it."

The Greenland “deal” epitomizes Trump. A huge amount of drama, a huge amount of damage that won’t be fixed for years and maybe never. And in the end he gets literally nothing but the diplo equivalent of Danish FIFA peace prize. 🏆 Stood down by Greenland and Denmark. Both hilarious and pathetic. Sad!

Maybe the Danes agreed to some trivial cosmetic tweak or renewal or whatever to pacify him, we'll see what they say when they report from reality, but what he's describing sounds very much like his garbled recitation of the terms that have been in place since the Truman administration.

Canada reached a trade agreement with us, the President blew it up for no reason while threatening to annex them, and Congress didn't do squat about either. It sucks, it's objectively bad for America, but WaPo is outright lying that "spite" is driving Canada's policy. It's the only rational choice.
