We wouldn't be celebrating America 250 if it weren't for a strong foundation set by the framers. Hamilton built America's financial foundation on the principle of sound, stable money, a principle later embodied by the gold standard.

President Trump now threatening to sidestep two Republican holdouts blocking Todd Blanch's confirmation as attorney general, saying he may temporarily withdraw the nomination and try again after Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Tom Tillis of North Carolina leave office. The ultimatum arriving after the Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a planned Thursday vote on Blanche's nomination, with Chairman Chuck Grassley reportedly lacking enough Republican support to advance him. At the center of the dispute, the agreement resolving President Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over the leaking of his tax returns. the DOJ announcing in May that the settlement would create a nearly $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund offering compensation to people who claimed they were unfairly targeted by the federal government.
The agreement also reportedly including protections against certain tax investigations involving the president, his family, and his businesses. A federal judge later freezing payments from the fund, Blanch then announcing in June that the administration would abandon it altogether. Senators Cornyn and Tillis demanding Blanche put that promise in writing, while also narrowing the tax protections to existing audits and making clear they cannot shield future filings from examination. Senator Cornyn saying the DOJ delivered revised language Wednesday night, but claiming the White House's higher-ups are resisting his counterproposal. The senator speaking to MSNOW yesterday morning.
He could fix this in a minute, but I don't know whether who he's listening to or whether he's motivated to do that.
