All tax dollars are not meant to provide luxuries for Congress. Especially given how often they like to fly. Why are they too good for economy seats? We should pay for only economy flights, and they pay the difference out of pocket, same as the rest of us.

Straight-up extortion seems like a losing political strategy
Trump: "We spent more than $2 billion in FEMA funding. You're waiting for some additional funding. I'm gonna get that to you. Now if Michael loses, I'm not sending it."

Black women candidates are often underfunded because they do not have access to the white male donor networks that white male Democratic candidates can access. @kamalaharris.com experienced this in her first presidential campaign.
Ad spending figures showing Rick Jackson’s massive edge brought Democrats face-to-face with a stark reality that has hung over the race from the start: Can Keisha Lance Bottoms overcome a financial disparity of this scale? #gapol

Can Keisha Lance Bottoms withstand Rick Jackson’s spending blitz?
The Republican billionaire is pouring unprecedented sums into the Georgia governor's race. Bottoms, the Democratic nominee, is looking for other ways to break through.

Quite a week for Trump and the Kennedy Center:

- he twice said he’d refuse to help unless his name is added
- said building could be ‘ripped down’
- was seen reviewing a printout about the center being “demolished”

Trump says Kennedy Center could be ‘ripped down,’ still wants his name added
The president was also seen through the windows of Air Force One examining a large printout about the Kennedy Center being “demolished.”
