Well this is rich. So far we've collected about $100 billion in tariff revenue from US businesses, but Trump is claiming if SCOTUS doesn't side with him we'll go bankrupt from having to pay back $2 trillion to the other countries that supposedly paid these tariffs. www.rawstory.com/trump-2-bill...

People believe what they want to believe.

And with that, the Senate is GONE until next Tuesday, November 18.

(🚨) NEW at PROOF: Do I go off here? Yes. Is it warranted? Yes. Do I explain *exactly* why this Senate deal must be seen as the rankest treachery? Yes.

It was “NO” yesterday. It’s “NO” today. And it’ll be “NO” when it gets to the House. I’m not voting for something that forces millions of Americans to choose between seeing a doctor and putting food on their table.

Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days? It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

Sean Duffy’s been telling us for months that we have a critical shortage of air traffic controllers in this country which is causing serious safety issues in air travel, then Trump comes out today & calls them a bunch of traitors if they took a day off & encourages them to quit.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.

Trump on Air Traffic Controllers: The one’s that stayed, I'm sending them a $10,000 bonus. Ingraham: Where is that money coming from? Trump: I don't know.

"I really went to a dark place when they sent the troops to [Los Angeles], and then eventually [Washington, D.C.], and now, Chicago. This is just not what any of us signed up for, and it's so out of the scope of normal operations," says J, a member of the Ohio National Guard.

What in the world??? Has anyone ever seen a president making a speech at a football game?? This is not normal….

Trump called 50% of American voters "the enemy" today in the Oval Office and I'm wondering why this shouldn't be the front page headline in 90% of U.S. newspapers tomorrow.

NEW: Trump administration again asks Supreme Court to block order requiring it to make full SNAP payments

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors. Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor. Reverse Robin Hood.

Breaking MSNBC: The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting this afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast "conspiracy" investigation into former intel and law enforcement officials.

An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

It’s important to achieve bipartisanship with Republicans so they can arrest Barack Obama for something they read on the Epoch Times’ Facebook page written by a Chinese cult member in 2019.

Even if you don’t get coverage through the Affordable Care Act, it still affects you. When more people are uninsured, hospitals shift unpaid costs onto everyone else. This drives up employer health-plan premiums.

Why don't those 8(+1) traitor democrats recognize that Federal Employees and all the rest of the people who have been suffering because of the shutdown are going to look at what was "negotiated" and think - we went through all of this for nothing???? #Shutdown #Democrats #Pathetic #Shameful

Don’t worry, they pinky promise to fix healthcare.

These 8 Dems have voted with the GOP since Jan. IDK if people just weren't aware, but I distinctly remember having constant 'WTF' moments when my senator confirmed a new nominee. Fetterman & Shaheen voted for 11, Hassan 10, Kaine & Rosen 8, King 7 etc. Here, look their names up: (cont in 2nd post)
