I know it's the Texas Democrats so they're bound to lose but I have to think most Texans would be against holding up flood response unless the most nakedly partisan gerrymander ever passed in Texas gets forced through. Seems ripe for backfire.
So we have the possible script for the #txlege special session:.1. The Senate passes redistricting. 2. The House passes disaster response. 3. The Senate refuses to take up disaster response until the House passes redistricting. 4. Democrats vanish. 5. Adjourn. Rinse. Repeat.

I guarantee you the reason why Trump used "enigma" is cause he just heard it in a sentence like two weeks before writing the letter and decided it sounded awesome. I bet he used enigma 400 times in 2003 before getting tired of it.
As for the use of the word "enigma" which, i guess, people are saying Trump doesn't use(?), there are at least three instances of him using it in his books

Dems should be complaining constantly about how ice agents wear face diapers. I mean literally use that term.
68% of US adults think ICE agents should be required to wear uniforms while making arrests.Only 39% say ICE agents should be allowed to wear masks that hide their identities during arrests.

This, and also permitting/environmental reform to build them quickly, and funding so local counties can build them. Gonna be furious to see these tied up in environmental action plans, or unfunded by rural counties with holes in their budgets.
In response to the deaths of so many in the July 4th flash floods, I will be filing at the earliest opportunity, to bring back civil defense sirens, targeted for flash flood–prone river valleys like the Upper Western Guadalupe River @GBRATX, to strengthen emergency flash flood.

Reminder: CONGRESS has the power to make and unmake tariffs, and it abrogated those powers to the executive. This could stop at literally any time.
Reminder: the US has a FREE TRADE AGREEMENT w S. Korea, signed by the President (GWB) & implemented into LAW by Congress, & TRUMP HIMSELF signed a mini-deal w/ SK in 2018. Now ALL SK imports get a 25% tariff - for now. NO incentive for SK (or anyone else) to negotiate with him.

honestly, Blue Alerts and Amber Alerts have been overused. Weather alerts have always been the model-- targeted, escalatable via media, geographically aware. These other alerts are way overused and people tune them all out.
Fair point for the future to make things better. If phones can go ballistic for a Blue Alert 500 miles away at 4 AM they can sure as hell do the same for an imminent flood in your county at 4 AM.

She only exists for the dopamine rush of outrage clicks, but yes Virginia, the Declaration is an indictment. ~40 counts. One literally was "obstruction of Justice". *Why* is America so great? It was the first time anybody successfully did this against a monarch. Relevant, huh?.
Did Hakeem Jeffries just say the Declaration of Independence reads like an INDICTMENT? . Did I hear that right?.

I think the Dems could get a lot of mileage over promising to investigate these companies for public bribery the next time they control the House or the White House. Could actually be a huge deterrent!.

Something isn't adding up. Children born to military members overseas are citizens. John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone.
Deporting children of military veterans because they were born on an overseas military base. This man has no citizenship now.

Between this and "use Klarna to pay for your burrito taxi Doordash order" we are headed towards a economic crash that could make 2008 look like chump change. Only this time we will have an enormous debt *and* deficit, and nobody willing to offer the govt credit, for the recovery.
After significant studying, and in keeping with President Trump’s vision to make the United States the crypto capital of the world, today I ordered the Great Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prepare their businesses to count cryptocurrency as an asset for a mortgage. SO ORDERED

Ahh the good ole "social media exception" to having Congress declare war.
President Trump: “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow.”
