‘It’s crazy’: GOP rebel declares war on Republican leadership

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) committed to block House floor proceedings unless House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) inserts the SAVE Act into a must-pass piece of legislation, Punchbowl News reported on Friday.Luna has pressed for the SAVE America Act – a bill that mandates voter ID and citizenship checks while adding new restrictions on mail-in ballots – to be folded into the annual defense policy bill."We should be doing all of the above," Luna told Punchbowl News for its report published Friday. "Why not try? It's crazy."Luna has already disrupted leadership's plans once – she helped defeat a rule that would have inserted SAVE Act language directly into the defense bill, despite House GOP leaders having spent three years working to keep unrelated amendments out of it.Meanwhile, Senate Republicans have grown frustrated with inter-party disputes. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Punchbowl that Republicans "need to be very careful" about how they message the standoff, arguing that Democrats – not Republicans – are the ones blocking the SAVE Act's passage.“The message we need to convey to our supporters – it’s not Republicans that are preventing the SAVE America Act from being passed. It’s Democrats,” Johnson told Punchbowl News.

Trump won’t renew trade deal with Mexico and Canada. He would be foolish not to extend it

The United States, Mexico, and Canada approached the first review deadline for the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement this week. Policymakers faced a straightforward choice. Either extend the agreement and preserve at least some semblance of stability in North American trade, or open the door to years of economic uncertainty and potentially higher tariffs. President Donald Trump has […]

MS NOW dumps cold water on new Trump jobs report: 'Half of what we expected'

There was more bad news for Donald Trump on Thursday morning as the new jobs report revealed dismal growth, leading MS NOW’s Stephanie Ruhle to raise a new red flag for the president’s embattled administration.Appearing on “Morning Joe,“ Ruhle, a former Wall Street executive, noted that only 57,000 new jobs were created — a far cry from the 115,000 expected by economists.Speaking with host Jonathan Lemire, who warned, “We've seen downward revisions for the last two months,” Ruhle first explained that Trump should not expect a rate decrease from the Fed as the job market remains stagnant.She later elaborated, “People cannot afford to get their lives started; they cannot afford the basic things they need to work to get to work, a place to live, a decent job that's an issue —we're talking about a jobs number that's almost half of what we expected.”“So when the president is posting about 401K’s, people who can't get a job don't have a 401K, don’t have anything to feel good about,” she pointed out."Remember it was [former Fed chair] Alan Greenspan, I think, who said 2006, who said income inequality is going to be the biggest issue,” she continued. “We're watching it play out day in and day out, and it's startling that when the President is faced with it, he keeps saying things like affordability is an old-fashioned term and nobody cares. He doesn't care because he's on his way to the moon when it comes to how successful and how wealthy he has become.” - YouTube youtu.be
