Cable news suddenly keeps mentioning “sleeper cells” in Iran. Heard it at least 3 times on CNN. Unbelievable 2003-style reporting malpractice, just spitballing ways of making Iran seem like a threat to Americans sitting at home watching tv

This really is Congress eating its own institutional capacity to stifle any dissent to Trump. They accuse CBO of being Democrats, even though it is run by a Republican appointee. GAO has pointed out the illegality of impoundment. DOGE tried to take over GAO, and now House Republicans want to gut it.
