Welp. Some of us were alive during Watergate and remember what happened. I'm going to unkindly assume this is designed to lay ground work to protect Trump at a future time. It won't work.

Hegseth's repeated misuse of Isaiah 6:8 has sparked a response from Sen. Raphael Warnock, who is also a Baptist pastor. So I'm going to trust Warnock over Hegseth on this.

www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/ab... This is what's worrying. A directive from the White House to the DOJ to inject electoral politics into litigation would historically have been seen as highly unusual, at best.

Trump and Ronny Jackson have a chuckle about the botched execution in Tennessee: "The medication didn't exactly work. He [Jackson] would answer it better than anybody. How does that happen? It shouldn't be very difficult."

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30 billion/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $43 billion in roughly seven months (and that's a low estimate) It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

In the ACA, people get health insurance from private insurance companies. They pay premiums. Every tax year the IRS checks to be sure your tax credit is accurate. How is the gov. defrauded? Regular people getting tax credits??
