A 50-year mortgage is great for anyone who never actually wants to own his house or build equity. It’s like renting but being responsible for repairs.

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

“At what point must a senior officer refuse to obey an order that, while issued by the command, is in fact illegal — or that would serve the interests of an aspiring autocrat rather than the Constitution and the Republic it protects — a moment when the armed forces may be our last line of defense?”

And you’re surprised? No low is too low for him.
Trump hosted a dinner last week for donors helping fund his ballroom project.
Today, crews are starting construction and literally tearing down parts of the White House.
It's day 20 of the government shutdown and this is what he's prioritizing?

If they were really looking for criminals, they’d pick them up one by one and it wouldn’t bear reporting. Not in a sweep, reported on the front page. Why are we acceding to their false frame? This has nothing to do with criminals. You know it. I know it. So WTAF??
"'This administration said they would go after criminals, which I support, but instead they are terrorizing neighborhoods, masked officers are grabbing people off the street, and putting honor roll Dreamers like Ximena in our detention centers.'"

No longer detained, but the fear remains.

I wonder if he's making a particular point here.
