The phrase “Congress controls the purse strings” means exactly what you think it does. The president cannot issue checks to the country, or to anyone, without authorization from Congress. Trump said during his White House deranged address:Next spring is expected to be the biggest tax refund season ever because of the tariffs, as well as the big, beautiful bill that just passed. Tonight, I am also proud to announce that more than 1,450,000 people are thinking about that 1 million. 450,000 military personnel will receive a special dividend before Christmas that we call Warrior Dividend.So Dividend Warrior.

It was always going to end this way.President Mike Johnson shut down the House for nearly two months to prevent any possible deal on restoring Obamacare subsidies. This same person is firmly committed to raising health insurance costs for the American people, so of course Johnson wasn’t going to keep his promise to allow a House vote on reinstating the subsidies. The original The Republican plan was to propose its own health care bill and propose a vote on extending the ACA subsidies, so that moderate House Republicans have the opportunity to vote to extend them, which, in theory, would…
The second Trump administration has long seemed like an even more fragile house of cards than the first. By surrounding himself only with loyalists, Trump abandoned any pretense of potential administrative jurisdiction for the first presidential administration in American history that functions like a royal court. Susie Wiles, Trump’s White House chief of staff, has done a good job of keeping a low profile, which is a necessary skill for anyone serving as Trump’s chief of staff. The chief of staff fails to attract too much attention or appear to have control over Trump.We didn’t know Wiles was giving 11…

For JD Vance and all the many Republicans who were counting on being the heir apparent to Trump and MAGA, a new NBC News poll has some very bad news. Trump’s point of view is valid for his most devoted supporters, but Trump won the 2024 election thanks to the votes of non-MAGA Americans. Trump has also managed to keep non-MAGAs in his camp, mainly by implementing an agenda they essentially agree with.PoliticusUSA news and opinions are 100% independent.
