Are there separate incoming US $ accounts divided between Republicans and Democrats? If so, why are 50% of the country’s citizens getting shortchanged on “income?”
Trump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult. We can do it and the Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income."
Admission of a crime; anyone going to do anything about this?
Q: MAGA Inc., the Super PAC that your allies control-- Trump: Not my allies, I control. $800M. I could spend it on anything I want. I have a busy schedule. I won. I'm not campaigning. A lot of people are angry at Republicans. They are not angry at me.

ACKSHULLY Ben Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people, but one's Jewishness is NOT defined by a # of ritual acts. Stewart + Sanders are Jews. To my great consternation, so are you + Ivanka, even tho each of you violate more Torah concepts every day than either of them could in a lifetime.
Ben Shapiro: Sen. Bernie Sanders is “not actually” Jewish and comedian Jon Stewart is “as Jewish as a ham sandwich”

This story is indeed insane. They literally *discounted his correct answers* (on questions about the Constitution) so that a Trump supporting girl who wants to go to Hillsdale College could win $25K and be televised meeting Trump. So. Gross.
This story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...

Dr. Debby Day said her bosses at Cigna gave her a stark warning: Work faster, or the company might fire her. She said her bosses cared more about being fast than being right: “Deny, deny, deny. That’s how you hit your numbers.” (Published April 2024 w/ @capitolforum.bsky.social)

If Trump signs an unconstitutional Executive Order to take over voting, we will sue. I don't bluff and I usually win.

GOP Senators John Kennedy and Ted Cruz devised this off-ramp, Kennedy says on Fox: "Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, he said no. ‘No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the president said no deal."

👋 Former State Department War Powers lawyer here. This statement by Rubio is false. As @tessbridgeman.bsky.social and I wrote in January: www.justsecurity.org/128517/war-p...
Marco Rubio: "No presidential administration has ever accepted the War Powers Act as constitutional"

Publishing my normal Sunday polling article early (for obvious reasons): Trump starts a war with Iran that few Americans support. Overall support for Trump in early post-strike polling is below that for Afghanistan and Iraq, including among Republicans. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-trum...

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money. In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it. Taxation without representation.
JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."
