Good.
that was not a good briefing for Karoline Leavitt. she was on the defensive the whole time and seemed downright flustered by the end of it

Fox News anchor Sandra Smith: "Karoline Leavitt will not go wrong as press secretary if she lets facts drive the story because they’ve had to combat this narrative that there’s an affordability crisis out there... there are significant wins here and certainly not sign of an affordability crisis!"

Q: Does it make sense for the president to use tariff revenue for farm aid? And tariff revenue goes into the Federal Treasury. Isn't in the Congress's power to spend that it as it sees fit?

THUNE: I think what the administration did in terms of using tariff revenue makes sense

It was never about law and order. It’s about repeating the words over and over until people believe them, regardless of the fact that he’s actually impeding law and order
It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

I've twice explained to spouse that there is no peace plan. Rather, there's a plan to limit the blowback when Trump capitulates to Russia.

Trump will do it anyway: Trump is going to reverse sanctions bc he wants the grift.

He's just trying to limit blowback for Russia Russia Russia.
I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

A bail out for something he created - once again. Farmers need regular customers not handouts. This tariff money does not need to be approved by congress, Trump can take from it as he wishes. Your money.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Cuellar said on the Sunday shows today that he went to church this morning and was praying for Trump.
Trump apparently never heard the old Texas saying: “if you can’t take their money, drink their whiskey, screw their women and then vote against them, you don’t belong in office”
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
