Anticipating the Supreme Court will 'hear' the case against Trump using the Emergency Powers Act to implement unsustainable tariffs paid by businesses without congressional input.
However, as is their practice, they will take an inordinate amount of time to come to a vague decision.

Trump 1.0 term added $7.8T to the deficit.

He's already added $2T to the deficit in 10 months ,of term 2.0.

I think the Gov't can pay the full amount due SNAP recipients during the Trump shutdown. Tariffs have fattened the treasury by $215B.

“Speaker Johnson, many Americans are wondering why you’re unable to see or hear any developments in the news. Some are speculating that you were kicked in the head by a horse; others theorize that you’ve been huffing spray paint. Which is it?”

I don't know if this sentiment is growing but I sure feel less respect for a military that attacks it's own people who are only exercising their Constitutional rights.

Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

If you thought Trump’s 28 minute interview with 60 Minutes was bonkers, imagine the 45 minutes they edited out.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)

No one should believe the R's when they say they are willing to discuss healthcare subsidies if the D's sign off on this CR now and open the Gov't.
They won't.
Then, if D's do sign off now and subsidies are not discussed after, insur. premiums will soar.
R'S say this was what the D's agreed to.

If there's $3.4 Million of taxpayer dollars to waste on Trump's Great Gatsby Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago, then there's money to fund SNAP & feed hungry kids.
