🙄🤦♂️The President’s insults say more about the President than Cassidy’s political choices and character.
Trump: “Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana is a disloyal disaster. His entire past campaign for the Senate was about ‘TRUMP,’ how he’s with me all the way, and then, after winning, he turned around and voted to IMPEACH me for something that has now proven to be total ‘bullshit!’”

Donald Trump may have declared ‘total and complete victory’ after a ceasefire with Iran. But this morning's Russian newspapers don’t agree. One writes: “Only the feverish mind of the American president himself can consider this a triumphant victory.” #ReadingRussia

Bad immigration economics assumes every extra person is one less seat. Good economics notices they also bring a seat, a side dish, and demand for the bloke selling drinks.
The first story is fear; the second is how economies work.

I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...
...maybe there wasn't much planning?

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting
