This guy has been doing everything he possibly can every day to use his position of SecDef to tamper with the midterms, from speaking at Republican campaign rallies, to giving partisan political speeches to troops, to this. Do all federal employees get a day off to vote?

Charlie Angus: Heavy crude from Alberta has served American refineries for a long time. It has served the US economy super well. But hey, you threaten us, well, we’ll have another pipeline and it can go elsewhere. The message to the MAGA administration is: Keep pushing, sucker, and see what happens

Here are the problems with Trump & Fox’s claim. Overcharges from ACA user fees date back to money collected during Trump’s own first term. And refunds only go to eligible people in the 30 states using the federal exchange. States that operate their own ACA marketplaces aren’t included.
