On the Republican debt ceiling hostage taking --
The fact that Republicans threw a tantrum, walked away from the table, then realized they had to come back just hours later strikes me as good news — both as a sign of how negotiations are going and as a sign that McCarthy won’t actually shoot the hostage.

You voted three times for clean debt ceiling increases under your master Trump. You voted for a blockbuster revenue draining and debt busting tax cut for the rich. You added $7.8 trillion to the debt. You are a liar and aim to blow up the economy. https://t.co/TpDqKb19L7

Just when you thought this regime couldn't get any madder. Russia bans 500 Americans over "anti-Russian actions", including, wait for it, "people involved in the persecution of dissidents" who took part in the January 6 storming of the Capitol.https://t.co/RIgStCBO3w.
