  • サマリー

    1. Trump's Weaponization of Lawsuits:Trump's lawsuit against The Des Moines Register and pollster Ann Selzer for publishing a poll predicting a Kamala Harris win in Iowa is a prime example.
    2. Congressional Budget Battles and the "Christmas Tree" Bill:The Continuing Resolution (CR) bill, intended to simply extend government funding, has become a "Christmas tree" of unrelated spending items due to the need to secure Democratic votes. These included "shiny little ornaments" like disaster relief ($100B), farm aid ($10B) and rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge ($2B).
    3. "Fake Electors" and the Question of Republican Integrity:Thirteen of the 538 presidential electors in 2024 were "fake electors" from 2020. These individuals were party activists in Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania who were charged in some cases (Michigan, Nevada).
    4. Trump's Popularity and the 2028 Question:Steve Bannon suggested that Trump could run again in 2028 because the 22nd Amendment only bans three consecutive terms. He spoke at the NY Young Republican Club gala to a enthusiastic crowd.
    5. Unintended Consequences of Trump's Policies:potential blowback such as tariffs increasing gas prices, deportations disrupting the meatpacking industry and driving up meat costs, cuts to Medicaid impacting rural hospitals, and school choice plans impacting rural schools.
    6. Biden's Efforts to Protect the Affordable Care Act (ACA):Biden extended the signup deadline for the ACA to get more people signed up.
    7. Disturbing Acceptance of Political Violence
