Rep. Ted Lieu: "This nearly $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund is completely unethical and totally ridiculous...The people drafting this document know it's unethical. Acting AG Todd Blanche will lose his law license after his term is over because he's engaging in flatly unethical behavior."
Rep. Aguilar on Rep. Fitzpatrick saying he doesn't support Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund: “It doesn't matter unless they actually use their vote to get rid of it...It doesn't mean a damn thing.”
Trump: "We're going to be submitting a military budget for $1.5 trillion…I built it during my first term. I didn't know we'd be using it so much in my second term."
Sarah Longwell: "A Democratic president in 2028, they're gonna have a ton of pressure on them...there's also going to need to be some systematic reforms, and I think which ones the elected leaders should spend political capital on is a very interesting and important conversation."
How long exactly is this war going to be? It seems like the Administration have not decided on a universal answer to give us.
Q: "Are you seeing signs that American households are dipping into their savings to pay for the higher costs of things like gas and groceries?" Bessent: "Lower savings rate can mean one of two things. The doomer view that you took, or that people have more confidence."
Gov. Gavin Newsom: "Every single thing Donald Trump is saying only suggests he will do more, not less, to intimidate, and to impact the outcome of this election. He is just winding up. I absolutely expect the worst again because we've been on the receiving end of it over and over again."
" Donald Trump is looting us in broad daylight... He's not shooting someone on Fifth Avenue, he's mugging the American people on Fifth Avenue." @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social, @jvl.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social on Trump’s $1 billion ballroom project.
Q: "How long until we see your signature next to President Trump's face on a $250 bill?" Bessent: "At present, no living person can be on US currency…Right now, there is proposed legislation that's in front of the House and in front of the Senate to change the first requirement."
Sen. Murphy: "You will not give sanctions relief just in exchange for reopening the strait?" Rubio: "No, that's not been discussed. That has not been offered."
Aus, this is how useless the Qld media is. Premier David Crisafulli elected on a youth crime reduction ticket but not living in his electorate of Broadwater. He's 71km away in Bulimba in Bris. AND THEN, you guessed it, youth crime in Bulimba. AND THEN 0 questions to him. #qldpol

Russian big business now calls this an era of survival—many won’t last until Putin’s regime or the war ends. 💸 Every third ruble is spent on destruction, while giants like Lukoil report trillion-ruble losses. 🏚️ From oligarchs to ordinary Russians, everyone is feeling the collapse.
