A passing observation on the attempt to gift Trump a plane.

Facts are stubborn things.

Trump’s weird rhetoric on trade.

A basic definition.

Even Republicans are balking at some Trump policies.

Public misconceptions about federal waste invite tolerance for questionable workarounds to the constitutionally prescribed manner of determining appropriations.
