The only play on Trump holding up all bills until his SAVE act passes is to call his bluff, let everything stop. The longer the delay, the more scrutiny SAVE will get, which we need desperately; it's the worst of the worst attempts at breaking elections he's ever attempted.

This morning's Pentagon briefing is peak war and weapon porn, written for Fox News and right-wing networks to repeat on blast all day. Gas prices spiking? Trumpstein Files? ICE? Look at the shiny keys!

So, we just taught the Middle East nations that they have the capability to shoot down our best war jets, three at a time at least. Kuwait did it accidentally. All those militaries are wondering today what they could do intentionally. And we are less safe today because of this wag the dog war.
