Literally the reason the President gets so much deference in foreign affairs is because he is the โ€œsole voiceโ€ of the nation when it comes to representing the U.S. as a sovereign and negotiating on its behalf. (Also, so much for the โ€œunitaryโ€ executive)

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro On Arson Attack Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, along with various authorities, spoke about the arson attack on the Pennsylvania Governorโ€™s Residence late last night. Authorities have arrested and will soon be charging a 38-year-old man with attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, and aggravated assault. The man apparently jumped over a fence at the Governorโ€™s Residence, and while troopers were searching for him, he carried out his arson attack.

2. Authorities said that the man jumped the fence, which triggered alarms, and while troopers were searching for him, he conducted his arson attack on the residence.

In this press conference linked below, Governor Shapiro, who is Jewish, speaks about the attack happening during Passover.

Donald Trump just illegally fired two independent commissioners at the FTC who fight big corporations that abuse consumers and workers.

Why? Trump's billionaire donors expect a return on their investment. He works for them, not you.

The courts must reinstate the commissioners.

Schumer isnโ€™t making any sense to me. If theyโ€™re already wreaking havoc on the government without the CR, then why vote for the CR that FUNDS them to continue the bloodbath?
