Into Plowshares – Fifty-billion dollars? (“Lots of Money. Few Results. MAGA Goes to War.” Commentary by Stephen Macaulay in The Gray Area.) That could provide a lot of needed housing at home. Smarmy has defined this administration. With (Chief of Staff Stephen) Miller running things now, it will go beyond that to terrifying. We can only pray that the next administration’s leaders put down the weapons and make peace. That would be the biggest challenge. Perhaps a leader will emerge who could start the process and bring some of those funds home. –Kate McLeod/Contributing Pundit
Who Will Lead? -- The Democratic candidates were well-suited to their constituencies; that may have made getting elected easier than choosing leadership will be.
Who can best balance a dozen investigations, affordability legislation, reversal of old and checks on new depredations by Trump, in a manner that prepares strategically for 2028? A brand-new member of Congress cannot just back the person who'd be the best fit back home. –Hugh Hansen/Contributing Pundit
