@ThePoliticalHQ It’s insane that the Senate is even close either given the disastrous GOP management of govt EVERY TIME they are in office. Dems then get back in and clean up the shit show left behind, only to find that the idiot voters put the GOP back in office
English
It’s insane that Democrats even have a shot at the Senate.
The 2026 map doesn’t favor them, but Republicans are doing so poorly with all three branches of government that they’re making it a real possibility.

BREAKING: Democrats and Republicans are now tied at 50% to win the Senate.

@kylegriffin1 All about lawfare harassment at the direction of weaponized DOJ doing the Orange Turd’s revenge agenda.

BREAKING:

@IAmPoliticsGirl @FFT1776 @MikeSMA57254742 They have shown in the past to not follow the rules, even the parliamentarian.

@FFT1776 @MikeSMA57254742 Might want to check the rules of the senate there bud.

🚨BREAKING: Sen. John Kennedy is moving to put the SAVE America Act as RECONCILIATION, which only needs 50+1 votes.
Reconciliation means they can pass it with 50 votes, not 60.
If the SAVE America Act is written as a budget-related bill (money, funding, enforcement) it qualifies for reconciliation which allows it to pass with a simple majority.
Why has it taken so long to come up with this?
Why is Senator Kennedy coming up with it? … Instead of our leader John Thune?
Thune has to go!
Whether corrupt, compromised, or utterly incompetent, he has to go!

@JoJoFromJerz Even if Fetterman was a principled contrarian “right leaning Dem” which he tries to portray, his vote to move the most unqualified person since Patel or Noem or RFKjr forward in this significant position shows he is just a Trump lovin’ toady like the GOP caucus.

Trump: "We are substantially ahead of schedule, and I had to do this. I call it an excursion. I had to take this little excursion and do something that no other president had the courage to do."

@MollyJongFast @atrupar More like you were Midnight Hammered when you and the Orange Turd in Chief decided to start a war of choice against all advice as to complexities. I am not paying for this.

Saying no to giving this drunk Fox News weekend anchor $200 billion for Trump’s disastrous war with Iran is the easiest vote congress will ever take. The 2026 pentagon budget is nearly $1 trillion. Spend that money then put the $200 billion towards literally anything else.
Acyn@Acyn
Hegseth: As far as the $200 billion. I think that number could move. Obviously, it takes it takes money to kill bad guys.

@AlanEyre1 @Mike_Tweets_Too @anneapplebaum In other words, we have a toddler in charge with no supervision.

spot-on, from @anneapplebaum
Money quote:
"Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places."
"He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before."

@TheMaineWonk We are at war. An illegal war as congress has not even been consulted, let alone voted to authorize. And no more bullshit about “Obama does this and W. Did that”…. Not even close to this war of choice by the idiot president.

‼️‼️ TRUMP CONSIDERING THOUSANDS OF MORE TROOPS TO IRAN
Key options discussed:
- Secure Strait of Hormuz (air/naval focus, potential shoreline troops)
- Ground forces to seize Kharg Island (90% of Iran's oil exports hub — risky but economically strategic)
- Special ops to secure Iran's enriched uranium stocks (complex/high-risk)

BIG NEWS FROM FED PRESSER:
1. Powell will stay on as Chair pro-tem if a successor has not been confirmed by the end of his term.
2. He will stay on the Board even after that, until the current investigation is well and truly over "with transparency and finality."
3. After that: It depends on what is best for the institution and the people the Fed serves.

@JustinWolfers Shows again Miran is nothing more than a Trump toady… not a serious person.
English
As expected, the Fed has decided to leave rates unchanged.
A unanimous decision. (Meaning all the serious FOMC members voted for the decision; Miran dissented, but who cares.)
The statement shows one real change: Apparently something's happening in the Middle East.

Sen. Paul: "Markwayne Mullin is justifying political violence as 'Oh, well, we need a manly way to settle our differences, and some people need to just be punched in the mouth.' That's bizarre, and I think it makes him unfit to lead federal law enforcement."

@factpostnews They should modify the question when these turds respond with hedging answers with “did you win YOUR election?”

More Evidence of Hotter-than-Expected US Inflation Ahead of Middle East Conflict:
Per the Bloomberg table below, US PPI monthly inflation accelerated to 0.7% in February, significantly outpacing the consensus forecast of 0.3%. January's was 0.5%.
Core monthly inflation was also hotter than expectations at 0.5%.
This brings annual headline inflation to 3.4% and core to 3.9%.
These figures set a high inflation baseline just as the Middle East War, which began on February 28, is certain to exert further upward pressure on prices.
(Reminder, the two-day Federal Reserve meeting concludes today.)

Trump's DHS Secretary pick: Some of the rules that still apply to this body. For instance, dueling with two consenting adults is still there
GOP Senator: It's been illegal for 170 years. There's no precedent for legal dueling. Do you realize that the man that beat Charles Sumner with a cane, he beat him till he was unconscious. You know why no senators intervened? Because his friend held a gun on the other senators, and he kept beating him until he crushed his skull. That's what you're insinuating is the precedent of the Senate. That is a very dangerous sentiment
English
PPI shouldn't be this much of a market mover... lots of extraneous factors..

@politico GOP and Trump are panicking as they see a mid term total wipe out coming and will do EVERYTHING they can to suppress voting.
