It would be nice if the press noted that Republicans are threatening to destroy America's full faith and credit, crash the economy and put millions of Americans out of work -- all to get demands that they can't name in public.
The current leader of the Republican Party charges anonymous people $200,000 for a "membership" to his home. No one need take their concerns about any sort of corruption seriously.
I'd like to remind Dianne Feinstein that Paul Ryan, the guy who wants all of us to work through our 90s, retired in his 40s.

When you understand that the House GOP cares more about creating content for Fox than governing, everything makes sense.

#Democrats respond to GOP calls for #DebtCeiling negotiations: No

“In exchange for not crashing the United States economy, you get nothing,” Sen. Brian Schatz said in an interview with The Daily Beast. “You don’t get a cookie. ... You’re just a person doing the bare minimum of not intentionally screwing over your constituents for insane reasons.”

One thing I was everyone would be more honest about is that the Fed is trying to put millions out of work to force workers to accept lower wages.

There is no US labor shortage. That’s a myth

There is, however, a shortage of jobs paying sufficient wages to attract workers to fill job openings

The Missouri GOP is trying to pass state House rules that ban women from the right to bare arms.

No, literally, they're trying to ensure women don't show their bare arms. This is your part of "small government."

And FYI the Missouri GOP banning women from showing their bare arms isn’t a sign of Shariah or Taliban—it’s a sign of right wing “Christian” extremism in the U.S. Govt.

Stop deflecting extremism in America as something foreign. It’s 100% American. Admit it. Own it. Work to stop it.

Now that inflation can't be used as a pretense, the Fed is going to have to just admit that what it's trying to do is take leverage away from workers who finally have a bit of an edge for the first time in our lifetime.

What if I tell you 2023 could be a deflationary year? You won’t believe me right ?

I also didn’t believe when I read this article until I calculated MoM CPI by myself.

The high year-over-year rate masks progress in the past five months. But we’re not out of the woods.

It would just be nice if the press pointed out the GOP's plan is to destroy the global economy if they don't get the horribly unpopular things they want.

Here's the story that the press & even Dems are missing about the GOP chaos on Capitol Hill:

These 20 Trump Republicans want the same thing Trump wants -- the power to destroy the country if they don't get what they want.

That's what this is all about.

Obstruction in the House picks up where J6 left off

The 20 can’t quite trust Kevin McCarthy to blow up democracy.
