Kevin Hassett imvoking the Antideficiency Act on Face the Nation to justify Trump’s withholding of SNAP benefits may be another record peak irony.

Simple minds view everything through a binary lens. It is not “siding” with Hamas to make it clear to Bibi we will not tolerate war crimes and genocide, even by our supposed allies, and any such actions will result in no further military support for Israel and sanctions against the regime. Bibi...

I’m still waiting for Trump to put forward an intelligent economic idea.

It’s really incredible to watch th Pubs panicking like this. The morning shows have been a mess. They’re just throwing shit at the wall, but almost none of it makes any sense. It appears they learned NOTHING from Tuesday.

Without diminishing what he accomplished in his first two years, Biden’s (1) decision to run again, and (2) lack of moral authority regarding Bibi and the fanatics in Israel make him a failed president in my mind. Immeasurably better than Trump, but a shadow of what he could have been.

I really wish the press would sometimes just ask him simple fact questions. "Mr. President, what was the annualized inflation rate the day before you took office in January? What is it today?" "What's the average price across the nation for a gallon of gas? For a gallon of milk? For a pound...

Smart. Would be a political win ("why would the Pubs not agree to that highly popular extension earlier?"), and still lets Dems campaign on the soon-to-be expiring subsidies in 2026. Pubs would be stupid to reject this, but who knows?
