Trump's Second Term

Maybe it's like the movie "Dave", in which the President's wife realizes he's been replaced with a double because he shows her more affection and attention than her husband had ever shown her in years .

FTFY. I'm sure we all remember the interview where Melania was somewhat frank about the transactional nature of their relationship.
 
Burrows: I have activated a new policy stating that any member absent for the purpose of breaking quorum will no longer have their paycheck or per diem deposited electronically.

While the constitution forbids us from withholding pay, it does not dictate how we issue the pay. Those checks must now be picked up in person, on the capitol grounds, effective immediately.

it's in the same wheelhouse as fleeing the state to break quorum because they want to draw unfair maps. fighting dysfunction with dysfunction.
 
Tariffs, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, Greatness!!

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Tariffs are having a huge positive impact on the Stock Market. Almost every day, new records are set. In addition, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are pouring into our Country's coffers. If a Radical Left Court ruled against us at this late date, in an attempt to bring down or disturb the largest amount of money, wealth creation and influence the U.S.A. has ever seen, it would be impossible to ever recover, or pay back, these massive sums of money and honor. It would be 1929 all over again, a GREAT DEPRESSION! If they were going to rule against the wealth, strength, and power of America, they should have done so LONG AGO, at the beginning of the case, where our entire Country, while never having a chance at this kind of GREATNESS again, would not have been put in 1929 style jeopardy. There is no way America could recover from such a judicial tragedy, but I know our Court System better than anyone, there is no one in history that has gone through the trials, tribulations and uncertainties such as I, and absolutely terrible, but also amazingly beautiful, things can happened. Our Country deserves SUCCESS AND GREATNESS, NOT TURMOIL, FAILURE, AND DISGRACE. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Wait... your government still pays its employees by checks?
I havent seen those in decades, and used them even less.
 
The good news: being a Texas rep is a part-time job with the commensurate modest pay. I'm guessing most if not all the effected Dems will be just fine for the time being.

ETA from Google's AI: Texas State Representatives earn a base salary of $7,200 per year, plus a per diem allowance of $221 for each day the Legislature is in session. This results in a total of $38,140 for a regular 140-day session.

As it says, they pay them electronically. They're changing to paying by physical checks which have to be picked up in person. Presumably they think this will make those who are absent to break quorum return, as otherwise they won't get paid.
 
Reporter: Will Zelenskyy have to give up territory?

Trump: So we are looking at that but we are actually looking to get some back. And some swapping. It is complicated. It is very complicated. We will get some back, and we will get some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both. But we will be talking about that either later tomorrow or whatever
