With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Gotta love this. The billionaire who flies around Ohio in a private jet from Columbus to Akron wants to talk about affordability. The presidential candidate that threw jet fuel on all the culture war fires now wants be inclusive. Feels like a lot of candidates woke up worried.

I think running way ahead of Kamala Harris in a somewhat purple state to flip a GOP-held governorship and elect a big trifecta probably has more national relevance than winning a D vs D race in a very progressive city.

While 827,000 New Jerseyans worried about their SNAP benefits this weekend, Trump threw a Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago for his billionaire buddies. That makes me pretty angry. How about you?

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness.
Trump and Rubio at the Mar-a-Lago Halloween Party, on day 31 of the shutdown. Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.

Senator Thune has said that he's not going to move on the Graham-Blumenthal bill until he gets a cue from the White House. What Vladimir Putin has been doing for months now is playing President Trump. It's time we take action and not wait for the White House.

Thom Tillis on Trump’s ask for $230M to DOJ to pay his legal bills: “Particularly right now, we're talking about a quarter of a billion dollars transferring, maybe to the president when we're in a shutdown posture. It’s at very best bad timing, but I think it's horrible optics.”

Let me get this straight: @POTUS is spending $20 billion to bail out his friends in Argentina, but is willing to let 20 million Americans’ premiums double? Let’s get serious and put the American people’s best interests first.

House Republicans stopped revising their legislative calendar back in July. So I updated it for them. Since July 4, the House has conducted 20 days of business in 16 weeks. Oct. 27-30 remains TBD.
