@JohnnyKeyz82 "It's the economy stupid" will forever be true. Carville can be a bit much. And his reads are not always correct. But the economy is first in all politics.

@JohnnyKeyz82 They're acting like most Americans will adapt to the costs of his clusterfuck war. They are wrong. The right wing is split on the war itself. But anyone capable of critical thought understands that even Donald's base will flip as global oil prices drive up everything else.

@JohnnyKeyz82 But then he doubles down on something insane. If/when to shift strategies in investments is a crap shoot with the unpredictability of the clown administration.

@JohnnyKeyz82 It sucks - just when I think to myself "surely Dear Leader is going to reverse course when he hears about losses from his Mar a Lago crowd."

$200 billion. No briefing, strategy, or end game. No respect for Congress.
I sit on the Appropriations Committee. I have received zero justification. Hegseth’s entire case to the American people is “it takes money to kill bad guys.”
That’s an insult. To Congress and the Constitution. And most of all, to the men and women putting their lives on the line right now.
Our service members are the best this country has. They are brave, skilled, and they deserve leadership worthy of their sacrifice. They deserve a clear mission. A defined objective. A strategy that someone in this administration has actually thought through. They are not props for a policy that nobody can consistently explain.
Yes, a nuclear-armed Iran is a threat. I believe that. But how we confront that threat matters. The path we take matters. The cost in lives and dollars matters. And who gets to weigh in on all of that matters.
That’s not weakness. That’s the Constitution.
First the reports were $50 billion. Then $100 billion. Now $200 billion. With no breakdown, no timeline, no accountability.
Where the hell are my Republican House colleagues? Collins and Murkowski are asking questions in the Senate. The House is silent. That silence is a dereliction of duty.
We are a co-equal branch of government. The power of the purse is ours. This is not a technicality. It is the last line of defense against exactly this kind of reckless blank-check governance.
Our troops deserve better. The American people deserve better.

JUST IN: Trump’s handpicked Commission of Fine Arts approved a general design for a 24k gold commemorative coin for the U.S. 250th anniversary featuring Trump’s image.
“I motion to approve this as presented, and with the strong encouragement that you make it as large as possible, all the way to three inches in diameter,” the commission’s vice chair, James McCrery, said.
Separately, the Treasury has said it plans to issue a $1 Trump coin that the Commission of Fine Arts approved in January.
Straight-up banana republic stuff.

@DougWahl1 *Should* he? No. *Will* he? Yup. Will there be massive waste fraud and abuse with those additional billions? Yup.

@mymomcare They are also guaranteed last minute flights booked by staff dedicated to members of congress 24/7.

Despite reports that the families of the servicemembers requested no videos or photos of the transfer, the White House has published a number of photos taken of U.S. President Donald J. Trump and other officials today at Dover Air Force Base, for the dignified transfer of the six airmen and officers who were killed in last week’s crash of a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker in Western Iraq.
