NYT reports that the GOP is “reluctant to give [Jack Smith] a public hearing" out of concern that he could embarrass Trump by making the case for the indictments over Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election and his retention of classified documents.” These concerns "gave away the game".

When will GOP congressmen and women begin to stand-up to Trump's "Revenge-On-America" policies? "Filing deadlines" says one former legislator, when they find out if they have a contested primary. Right now, only those Republicans not seeking reelection are showing any courage. GOP = Cowards.

On Hegseth’s rocky DoD tenure: “it’s not getting better. The Pentagon is a mess; there’s no clear lines of authority. A talk show host is trying to run the Pentagon. Everybody knows that, with Trump, you’re only entitled to so much sand in the hour glass.” - Jonathan Martin, Politico

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-OH plans to introduce legislation that would end dual citizenship by requiring citizens to declare their “exclusive allegiance” to the U.S. The legislation that would strip the first lady Melania Trump, and son Barron of their Slovenian passports. Oops.

"The president appears not to understand the difference between millions, billions, and trillions. We are not taking in trillions of dollars in tariff revenue. If we were, we could afford his $2000 tariff checks. We aren't. So therefore, we can't." - Justin Wolfers, Univ. of Michigan Economist
