CNN: The president already took a lot of heat, even from some in his own party, for pardoning the January 6 rioters. Do you believe he'd actually go so far as to pay them out as well?
AUCHINCLOSS: Yes.
China & Russia are not our allies and Canada & Greenland are not our enemies.
Yeah, we can tell.
Biotech needed to be negotiated at this summit, not just AI.
For the first time since WW2, an American president walked into a room and it wasn’t clear he was the most powerful person in it.
Congress must pass the War Powers Resolution & take back the steering wheel before the president drives off any more cliffs.
