No idea what you’re talking about.

Meanwhile we are almost due for another trade deal announcement.


Do let use know which of these deals Congress actually ratifies.

Here's the initial criminal city list breaking federal law(s):


I'd start with cuffing all the associated criminal mayors and criminal governors using the military.

They had enough time to obey the law.


And lock them up so it doesn't happen again.

The man should be arrested just for poor judgement. A Subway sandwich is much more valuable than the person you are throwing it at.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

One down, 17 to go (of the criminal mayor count), on the initial list:

The actual count of criminal Dem mayors is much higher but the cities are usually smaller.

The Trump administration’s claim that it is saving billions of dollars through DOGE-related cuts to federal contracts is drastically exaggerated, according to a new POLITICO analysis of public data and federal spending records.

Through July, DOGE said it has saved taxpayers $52.8 billion by canceling contracts, but of the $32.7 billion in actual claimed contract savings that POLITICO could verify, DOGE’s savings over that period were closer to $1.4 billion.

Despite the administration’s claims, not a single one of those 1.4 billion dollars will lower the federal deficit unless Congress steps in. Instead, the money has been returned to agencies mandated by law to spend it.

DOGE's latest figures on contract cuts ticked up to $54.2 billion in an update posted on Tuesday.

POLITICO’s findings come on top of months of scrutiny of DOGE’s accounting, but the magnitude of DOGE's inflated savings claims has not been clear until now.

Even so, President Donald Trump claimed hundreds of billions of dollars had already been used to reduce the federal deficit. The former head of DOGE, Elon Musk, initially promised the organization would reduce the deficit by $2 trillion. Many in Trump’s Cabinet have also celebrated DOGE’s efforts, including his secretaries of Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs and Agriculture.

Wasn't POLITICO one of the places that lost lots of pork because of DOGE? Kind of makes one wonder about their objectiveness.
