The former judge and Trump fluffer? 3
I havenβt see courage or ethics in his actions at all. Heβs had many chances to draw upon his past training and experience.
But Tillis surprised me, and Kennedy is inching out (while shedding some of the corn pone), so I hope Iβm wrong.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.
If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

Trump administration drops effort against law firms after judges find president's orders unconstitutional
Numerous judges have ruled against Trump's executive orders targeting certain law firms.
This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him.
This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.

By doing that, Trump unleashed chaos in the Middle East powder keg.
In the chaos, 3 Amazon data centers were hit.
The Strait of Hormuz closure means more chaos, oil shortages and rerouting shipped goods around Africa.
