Trump 47

This is going to backfire on the Trump administration massively. We are lucky fascism 2.0 is so dumb and nonsensical IMO.


I wish I shared your confidence.

While this administration often seems like bumbling idiots when it comes to governing, they’ve proven highly skilled at three things:
  1. Spreading misinformation and convincing many to believe it.
  2. Exploiting ethical rules by behaving unethically—rules never anticipated such disregard because voters were expected to reject those candidates.
  3. Claiming any unfavorable election was fraudulent.
Given that, I’m hopeful about the midterms—but not entirely trusting.
 
President Donald Trump went on a stunning riff when confronted with the declaration — by Chief Justice John Roberts — that “tariffs are taxes,” admitting Americans “pay something” but claiming they benefit by not having to fight in wars.

 
Reporter: Trump has acknowledged that his party is at least partially blamed for the shutdown. Is it time for him to convene congressional leadership to try to reach a deal?

Bessent: No. What are we negotiating on?

Reporter: They're asking for ACA subsidies

 
Top Trump econ advisor: I think that Secretary Bessent wisely said we're starting to see pockets of the economy that look like might be in a recession

Ill be shocked if they admit it.
 
Schumer outlines Democrat offer to reopen government and extend ACA subsidies
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor to outline Democrats' new proposal to end the shutdown.

"I've spoken with my caucus, and Democrats are offering a very simple compromise," Schumer said. "Democrats are ready to clear the way to quickly pass a government funding bill that includes health care affordability. Leader Thune just needs to add a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits to the CR so that we can immediately address rising health care costs."

"Now, the ball is in the Republicans' court. We need Republicans to just say yes," he said.
