I was originally planning on doing a part 2 of Timothy Snyder’s recent analysis of the 2016 election, but I’ve decided to push that to two weeks from now. Today I’m flying to Spain to see USExpat and won’t be able to spend the entire day contributing to the conversation. So not an ideal situation for that topic.

I feel it’s our responsibility to make sure we’re up to date on what VP Harris is doing. As we’ve already seen there’s a tremendous effort to minimize her contributions to this administration.

x Over the last seven months, annual inflation is down and wages are up.

Every day, @POTUS and I are fighting to lower costs, create jobs, and invest in America. — Vice President Kamala Harris (@VP) February 14, 2023

x We’re making it easier to start and grow a small business.

Connected to the internet? Cloud backup(s)? Hostile cyber interest?) https://t.co/tQuFQ96BZG pic.twitter.com/nQdbMlZ1Br — Pete Strzok (@petestrzok) February 11, 2023

Very good news for all of us!

x NEWS: The IRS is answering nearly **90%** of taxpayers' phone calls, up from **13%** a year ago.



It's hired 5,000 employees to staff the phones, funded by the Inflation Reduction Act.
