Congressional Republicans are split over their spending bill. Instead, Jake Tapper and a bunch of idiots want you to keep talking about 2024.

How Trump’s “Emergency” Powers Could Become Permanent
The president is declaring emergencies on everything from an “invasion” of immigrants to a mythical shortage of fossil fuel production. But it’s all just a ploy for him to act like a Roman emperor.The New Republic
