Trump's proposal to rescind $9.4B in previously approved spending could make it more difficult for Congress to fund the government in a bipartisan way. Funding bills generally require 60 votes in the Senate. A presidential rescission request needs only 51: www.cbpp.org/blog/resciss...

Attn: @jaketapper.bsky.social The current president is cognitively impaired.
It is worth remembering today that the House would be in Democratic hands—and the reconciliation bill would have failed— right now if the conservative majority on the Supreme Court hadn’t stolen the House for Republicans. SCOTUS did that via their rulings on gerrymandering, notably in NC.

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.
