Can Congress just for once do the right thing this century and put a legit check on Executive Power and enforce laws on POTUS actions
Trump 47

That ship has sailed and I am not sure if it will ever return.

Has he ever said anything accurate?

Might as well have a monarchy if the President has no congressional checks and the courts can't do anything to him.
Has there been a jobs report to support this?
I'd assume if his tariff policies do what he wants them to do, there would be a lag between when they take effect and companies increasing hiring. And that assumes most of the new jobs aren't absorbed by AI because that's cheaper than paying salaries and insurance for a few million people.

Qatar says report is not accurate. Wonder what the actual story and current state of this gift is.

I guess Trump isn't nearly as mad at the Islam countries in the Mideast for taking our money for oil and building the highest skyscraper in the world, Dubai's Burj Khalifa and other great developments. But Saudia Arabia is working on the Jeddah Tower set to be the new world's highest skyscraper at 3281 ft.

US and China take a step back from sky-high tariffs and agree to pause for 90 days for more talks
U.S. and Chinese officials said they had reached a deal to roll back most of their recent tariffs and call a 90-day truce in their trade war for more talks on resolving their trade disputes.
apnews.com
So we undid the crazy tariffs for the most part.
What is the outcome of this, other than a month+ of market freakout and a lot of companies massively struggling while they were in place? What did we gain by this trade war and how is everything going to be better for the country afterwards?
Oh, and we don't know if the small shipments coming from China are subject to tariffs still or waived again.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) turns on and Blast GOP colleagues as he slams 'cover of night' Medicaid deal
"Mr. Trump has promised working-class tax cuts and protection for working-class social insurance, such as Medicaid," Hawley wrote. "But now a noisy contingent of corporatist Republicans — call it the party’s Wall Street wing — is urging Congress to ignore all that and get back to the old-time religion: corporate giveaways, preferences for capital and deep cuts to social insurance.""This wing of the party wants Republicans to build our big, beautiful bill around slashing health insurance for the working poor," the senator added. "But that argument is both morally wrong and politically suicidal."
The president has repeatedly rejected Medicaid cuts, Hawley said, and recent polls show 64 percent of Republicans hold a favorable view of the program, and one in six have personally benefited from it, while more than 80 percent of Americans oppose significant cuts and more than half have a personal or family connection to Medicaid.
"It’s safe to say the Trump coalition was not pulling the lever for Medicaid cuts in November," Hawley wrote. "Mike Johnson, the House speaker, finally woke up to this fact last week, when he withdrew his support from one of the most aggressive reductions to Medicaid on the table. But many of my House and Senate colleagues keep pushing for substantial cuts, and the House will begin to hash out its differences in negotiations this week."
Late on Sunday, House Republicans revealed legislation analysts said would rip Medicaid coverage from millions of low-income Americans.
