Which practice probably means that whoever needs to get paid never will get paid. However, I am delighted with the outcome this far.

Same here with signs and a significant number of locals who voted for Trump last time are supporting Andrews. She has a real chance!

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

Outgoing Sen. Thom Tillis spoke to MS NOW about regretting his vote to confirm Pete Hegseth and his strained relationship with Trump.

Most Americans don't have a faintest idea who the presidents were before they were old enough to vote. These sorts of polls are just really rather ridiculous.

As someone recovering from a broken ankle, I can tell you that walk was a struggle. (I have gotten past that point thank heavens.) He nearly lost his balance when he turned to salute. There's something definitely wrong.

Doesn't appear that Trump is aware of anything that he hasn't convinced himself is the truth.

He's had his day. It's time that Democrats moved on from him.

US goes into midterm elections with a less dynamic form of full employment
President Donald Trump and his Republican Party will carry a 4.2% unemployment rate into the congressional elections, a hallmark of a solid US job market. Yet many voters don't see it that ‌way.

I have to wonder if Melania has an "out" clause if Trump continues this liaison.

I'm sure Trump has very believable assurances from Putin that (a) this never happened and (b) he has it completely under control. 🙄

I have to hand it to him. He's excellent at increasing inflation. Nobody can do it like him. Everybody says so.

He has absolutely no understanding of the finances of everyday people. $500 just doesn't buy much, and less monthly with inflation. $90 for drug costs for Medicare recipients is an insult. And none of this money is going to show up anyhow!

I think he believes it. I don't think he thinks he's lying. That makes it a lot easier!
