The American Prospect reports that voters and fiscal hawks should not ignore the possibility that the White House and the compulsive liar within are manipulating news for their own ends. “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded on social media, saying, ‘We don’t hate the Fake News media enough,’ after CNN picked up the story.” Democratic senators recently deep-sixed a vote on the administration’s ghastly $1.15 trillion military spending request, combined with a separate $350 billion package proposed by the White House through reconciliation. Now Trump wants more … much more, and Congress is in a hard place to deny him. “Congress may have no good moves left between dangerously depleted stockpiles and carte blanche for a war with no endgame,” Groz wrote.
