Governing is hard:
“The choice before us is not whether to vote for Chi or Hakeem at the ballot box. The choice is how to spend the next year. Do we want to spend it defending caricatures of our movement, or do we want to spend it fulfilling the agenda at the heart of that very same movement?”

I think some have done the math and found that if you give $2000 to every taxpayer that earns less than $100,000/yr, or even $75,000, there wasn’t enough tariff money to cover the cost.
