Man weird if only the lawmakers knew someone whose job it was to carry out oversight and make certain the laws were faithfully executed according to the wishes of the legislature!?
New: Trump’s abrupt announcement to send $90 payments to seniors by dipping into a Medicare fund has rattled Capitol Hill.
One GOP aide told WaPo that lawmakers had planned to use the money to offset funding for community health centers, diabetes programs and other initiatives.

The messaging is so weird, that the federal government has enough money to just issue every American $5,000 today if the president wants to, BUT ALSO, no, he doesn't want to right now (only if the GOP wins).

Trump’s Vaunted ‘Trade Deals’ Are Much Less than Meet the Eye
By these metrics, the tariff-first approach to U.S. foreign policy has been a demonstrable failure.

Canada sells energy/oil at bargain prices to the USA. We buy more non-energy good/services (per capita) from the USA than they buy from us. But they spit in our face, accuse us of "ripping them off," and threaten to annex us. Screw that - we will look elsewhere for better trading partners.

The name Ontario was derived from the lake and it was used to refer neighbouring land over a century before both the confederation of Canada and the independence of the United States.

I went looking for old anti-vaccine propaganda and expected an interesting historical curiosity.
Instead I found arguments from 1802, 1885 and 1920 that would barely need rewriting to circulate online today.
That raises a rather disconcerting question.
