Seems President Z had some cards to play.
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
What rattled Bessent like this? Oil prices? Bond market? Iran? Russia? China?
Much different than Dire Straits but beautiful. Needed this for our Sunday morning...

I guess Trump was wearing a baseball cap because his beanie with the propeller was out to the cleaners.
Who know who loves a spike in oil prices caused by a war on Iran? Putin. It's how he funds his war in Ukraine.
A coincidence?
Hey @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social and everyone else...Mullin did not defeat 5 opponents as an MMA fighter. His official record is 3-0. Two of the 5 fights were against the same guy, whose record is 1-11. Not important maybe, but funny.
Hey Trumpy...Now do Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Bondi. Nutlick will resign on his own soon.
There's no way that Trump could nominate someone worse than Noem. I mean, it's just not...oof. I take it back.
"This is special military operation"
Is that from GOP in Congress about Iran? Or is that Putin talking about Ukraine?
Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.
Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.
If there was a occupant of the White House who knew less and understood less about foreign policy than Trump, I can't think of who it was. An utter moron.
Maybe he considers 5 MMA fights to be combat?
Watch out for conspiratorial thinking. I heard misinformation from an "expert" on @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social
China gets most oil from Venezuela, Iran, Russia. Not true. Most Chinese oil imports come from KSA, Russia...Brazil. China oil from Angola > Iran.
Nothing is helped by misinformation.
I used to feel bad for him when I thought it only impacted his speech, but clearly it impacted his cognitive abilities and his character, too.
BERMAN: Why do you think 68% of Americans think Trump has the wrong priorities?
MIKE LAWLER: We have made significant process over the last year. You saw 3rd quarter GDP growth over 4 percent
BERMAN: You conveniently left out 4th quarter GDP, which was at 1.4%
When Jennings speaks, people often get angry. Can we all agree to yawn instead?
Or what if every time his face appears, we turn the channel?
That and all the Gulf states bribing Trump and family for years.
This.
Going to try to get enough chores and errands done that I have time to work on my novel "Guitar" today.
Just reupping this image from my newsletter last week, that I hope people will feel free to save and liberally spred around the interwebs. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
The Constitution and federal law duly enacted by Congress afford citizenship to ALL people born in the United States.
Donald Trump can’t just wish that away.
Chance of a no-show? Does Orangeman TACO again?
