What really struck me in that moment was that it wasn’t just Ben in the room with President Biden. It was all of you. The Meidas Mighty. Ben may have been speaking, but it was your values, hard work, and tireless advocacy that were at the heart of that conversation. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

What makes this particular story SO much better is the fact that LaCivita is posting it, since Lewandowski tried his best and failed to oust LaCivita as Trump’s campaign manager. www.politico.com/live-updates...

… MAGA Republicans are furious at Mike Johnson after he released the CR last night, which they claim is loaded with new and excessive spending.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson made “a deal” with themselves. Maybe they should’ve checked with other people on it.
It’s not just Dems who are a ‘hell no!’ either.
So much for Trump declaring victory on his social media app.

And just like that, in 24 hours, MAGA Republicans have learned to love more debt!
But still not as much as Dear Leader loves debt.
As they are about to find out next year. Since they can’t figure it out yet.

Is there still a Republican alive with a pulse who ACTUALLY BELIEVES that Trump has any intention whatsoever of cutting the federal budget and/or reducing the deficit?
Is it possible that there can be someone out there who is that naive and stupid?
DOGE is a smokescreen. BS.

The mob boss wants the debt ceiling raised. So he’s letting all the Republicans know that you don’t want to be against doing that - like these two guys.
