But only an authoritarian would benefit by having a deadlocked Congress - with everyday citizens suffering.

Funny how that works

Meanwhile, things are getting worse at US airports

Reminder: Democrats have offered seven bills to fund DHS, but the GOP refuses because they contain restrictions on ICE and CBP.

Trump postpones threatened war crime, er..bombing of #Iran civilian infrastructure because of peace talks ...er, that the Iranians say didn't happen

Therefore he delays further action for five days... er, exactly as long as the markets are open.

FFS, why does the gullible media take anything the #AmericanClownEmperor says at face value?

Wow! What a win for MAGA

So #FossilFuel companies will make more money, the US gov debt will grow and American families will (at best) stay level

FFS, calling it a "glitch" is deliberate sanewashing when DOGE's goal was to break working systems and departments - including this IRS one

Once again @MeidasTouch nails it. A perfect summary how Trump backstabbed Arab allies with the #Iran attacks.

"America’s Arab allies are now fuming that they don’t seem to have any influence with the Trump admin despite heavy investments of time and money.”

… They gave him a jet. Bought a billion in Trump crypto. Signed deals to build Trump golf resorts. Made deals with his flunky kids. Gave $2 billion to his repulsive son-in-law. And this is how he repays them. Sad."
