‘We’re gonna get killed’: White House in full-blown panic as economic outlook darkens As the U.S. war against Iran rages on, strategists “in and around the White House” are growing increasingly panicked over

The people getting "killed" are not the politicians who might lose elections.

Utility bills are exceeding mortgages in West Virginia despite Trump’s promised cuts

This doesn't make me happy because it's happening to Trump voters. It devastates me because it's happening to Americans.

THIS is why Congress must re-assert its authority as a co-equal branch of government. It's not about process, it's about downstream consequences of a war.

We will fix this.

Trump’s arch gets overwhelmingly negative public feedback but appears poised to move forward | CNN Politics President Donald Trump’s proposed triumphal arch project received overwhelmingly negative feedback from preservationist groups and members of the public as plans for the massive structure were present...

It shouldn't be controversial to support a vote to tear down the crap Donald is building in DC, and then charge him for it. #ca37

I just keep imagining a Congress that stopped this in 2017 or 2021 or 2024 or 2025 or 2026 or last week. Maybe my standards are too high. #CA37

The strait was already open, the service men were still alive, and gas prices were lower before this guy decided to invade Iran.

Now imagine a Congress that had stopped this.

I will vote to fund a new American dream for the 21st-century that includes getting an education, finding a job, and buying a home, not unnecessary wars. That will be the power of Congress when we send new folks to it. #ca37 @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Re-imagining our democracy for the 21st century also means having the courage to say you will vote to fund tearing down this ballroom when you get to Congress. I will vote to fund tearing down this ballroom when I get to Congress.
