Bonus Quote of the Day
“It’s impossible for me to ignore the events in the Oval Office earlier today. It’s stunning. I think anybody who watched it saw it. And I’m torn for an explanation, but there’s something clear. There’s an expression here in south Louisiana. It’s not totally true, but it’s you mostly hear it from Black people, and they’ll say, ‘that boy ain’t right.’ And it’ll be somebody obviously having some kind of a personality disorder or whatever. Well, when you look at Trump, the first thing that comes to your mind, that boy ain’t right.”

GOP Wants $4 Trillion Tax Cut to Look Like Nothing
Wall Street Journal: “Republicans are readying an untested and aggressive move—a blatant gimmick, critics say—that would declare that Congress can extend expiring tax cuts and record no costs. House Republicans didn’t attempt the maneuver in the budget they passed this week. Key GOP senators are eager to try it.”
“Their push would likely lead to a high-profile Senate vote over a $4 trillion accounting question with significant implications for how deeply and permanently Republicans will cut taxes.”
“First, it makes a $4 trillion tax cut over a decade look like $0, which could be easier to sell to lawmakers and voters. Second, in the arcane Senate budget procedure world, declaring tax-cut extensions free opens Republicans’ easiest path to making President Trump’s expiring tax cuts permanent.”

Trump’s Dressing Down of Zelensky Plays Into Putin’s Hands
“President Trump says he wants a quick cease-fire in Ukraine. But President Vladimir Putin of Russia appears to be in no rush, and the blowup on Friday between Mr. Trump and Ukraine’s president may give Russia’s leader the kind of ammunition he needs to prolong the fight,” the New York Times reports.
“With the American alliance with Ukraine suffering a dramatic, public rupture, Mr. Putin now seems even more likely to hold out for a deal on his terms — and he could even be tempted to expand his push on the battlefield.”

Elise Stefanik Stuck in Limbo
“Frustrations are growing as Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-NY) wait to be confirmed as ambassador to the United Nations could stretch until April due to the House’s ultra-slim majority,” The Hill reports.
“Stefanik is facing a unique problem. Despite numerous international crises facing the U.S. and UN, she is considered more valuable in the House as lawmakers try to cobble together Trump’s agenda. That was especially the case for a dramatic Tuesday vote on the House’s budget resolution, when her presence was crucial.”
