On Air Force One last night, Trump floated a veto threat of the 3-year ACA funding bill. Q: Mr. President, the House passed a 3-year extension of the ACA; it's in the Senate. If it passes the Senate would you veto it? TRUMP: "I might, yeah. I might." (video footage via WH)

Bizarre moment at the Michigan Senate debate after Haley Stevens says “the filibuster must go.” She adds that Democrats “should use the filibuster to not allow the big ugly bill to pass that increased our debt.” Pressed on whether she opposes or supports using the filibuster, Stevens says: “We should remove the filibuster so Democrats could have voted down the legislation, the tax bill.” That is not how the filibuster works. Removing it allows all Senate bills to pass at 51 votes. It would not have allowed Democrats to stop Trump’s tax bill, which was already exempt from the filibuster.

Bill Cassidy, conceding defeat, throws shade at Donald Trump: “When you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to. But you don’t pout. You don’t whine. You don’t claim the election was stolen.” His crowd immediately gets the reference.

Trump: “We’re not supposed to be seduced that way, right? But I am. When somebody’s nice to me, I love that person. Even if they’re bad people. I couldn’t care less, I’ll fight to the end for them.”

Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit w/ pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people w/ that offer. If you accept that offer & resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Important moment: Trump told Republicans to pass a CR and cut out Democrats, F&F on 9/12: “Don’t even bother dealing with them.” “We have to get Republican votes, that’s all,” Trump said. Told he’ll need 60 senators, Trump said “no.” (In fact, a CR does need 60 in the Senate.)

POD FORCE ONE: The anti-weaponization fund, have you dropped that? TRUMP: No. A court ruled against it. But just so you understand, these are people that’ve been decimated. … I’m very proud to have given them pardons. And I think they should reimbursed for a crooked government.

What Elon Musk didn’t realize is that reducing the deficit is not—and has never been—the GOP’s priority. The big priorities (since Reagan) are cutting taxes and increasing military spending. Hence deficits regularly go up when Republicans are in power.

Trump on the US economy: “I said it the other day. And a lot of people misinterpreted it. They said ‘Oh he doesn’t realize prices are high.’ Prices are coming down very substantially. But they have a new word. You know, they always have a hoax. The new word is affordability.”

Last night as House was voting… I asked Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., if Trump should’ve made debt limit demand earlier. Will next 2 yrs be this challenging/chaotic? “It’s going to be awesome. You know why it’s going to be awesome? Because now we know how to work together.”
