- CLASS WITH JAMIE RASKIN episode 3: Jamie Raskin takes on the rightwing fallacy that as Commander-in-Chief, the President has both the power to do whatever he wants and absolute immunity from any legal consequences for criminal actions.
SUPPORT DEMOCRACY SUMMER: jamieraskin.com/democracy-sum...

How great was that? A Masterclass for free, with the great patriot Congressman Jaime Raskin. Thank you Brian.
Yes, much gratitude here, to Raskim and Brian.
Honestly, it just reminds me of how important Civics and Government classes are in high school!
@@maryegarcia2432 If it's still taught.
Brian, having Congressman Jamie Raskin on the show is so exciting! Thank you and Blessings to you and Congressman Raskin and your families.
Agree with you. Rept. Raskin is eloquent, bright, and articulate; three qualities Trump's Congressional pals like Jordan, Greene, Cruz, and Gosar lack sorely. They're too busy trying to defend their pal Trump for each of Trump's 88 criminal indictments. No US citizen could be facing 88 criminal charges unless he or she had broken at least 1 or 2 of our laws.
Thank you Congressman Raskin. This world would be intolerable without you in it. Keep up the good work.
This is not an interview, this is a lesson in our country. Thank you for allowing Raskin do this
This is a lesson to be taught everyday of our lives to live in this COUNTRY
Jamie Raskin is the best! What a relief that someone like him is in Washington. I hope he is thinking about running for POTUS someday!
This was their way of helping Trump, by buying time. Kind of like in football you take a knee until the clock runs out. Not allowing justice to take place before the election is held. This supreme court is biased and corrupt.
He is brilliant! Love his smile dealing with this complete insanity!! 😊💙✌🏻
Yes he is but mostly all we hear is trumps voice! Aagggghhjhjjjj!!
I was thinking the same thing but I have heard him say he felt he could do more for the country where he's at
Yes to this! Would love to see Jamie Raskin as our first vegan president!
So glad we have Congressman Raskin. Thank you Sir!
Ummm ,Mrs Greene there is no S at the end of my last name , thank you , Empty Gee !
@@user-yy3om6he2m🌊💀💥🎋Are you as any [@user's] comments are usually from a foreign language like the Russian 🇷🇺, or Korean or Chinese 🇨🇳 languages & their names...⁉️ Apparently for our country's Presidential election have the @user's comments 🙄 to influence to get tRump's win when "they" just joined up recently years, or even this year under as a faked stupefied 🇺🇸 names⚠️⁉️
Lola. . . 🙃
I'm impressed 👏 with your English ✂️ negative commentary⁉️🤑🤌☯️
I'd LOVE to see PRESIDENT JAMIE RASKIN in 2028!!! Stay healthy Good Sir!!! ⚖️🏛🗽🇺🇸🗳💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
He didn't run for Senator from MD probably because of his health.
I don't see him running for potus.
He needs to accept that he is grey and stop putting that tar or whatever it is on his head.
😊😊@@yvonneplant9434
Vote ,vote, vote for Jamie
😡😡😡 That this should even be CONSIDERED, before the SUPREME COURT is stinking OUTRAGEOUS! They should have thrown this out & THEN kicked Trump's ENORMOUS arse, all the way to the PRISON!😡
Your post simply makes TOO MUCH COMMON SENSE. The current supreme court apparently has sold their allotment of same to the billionaire boys. Hope they grow a spine regarding their decision.
He has something on everyone who is protecting him. That’s what people who live on the other side of the law do.
@phyllisneal8687 Prison for what? you fucking fools sound ridiculous with all of your "Trump is going to destroy democracy" bullshit. you are pleading for someone to be thrown in prison for what? They havent proved he did anything illegal!!! unless you are some law expert that knows someoithing the prosecution doesnt?!
Trump needs to be in Prison! Point well made Jamie Raskin! He is THE constitutional GURU!
Jamie Raskin is nothing BUT class. Much ❤ and good health, Congressman.
Mr. Raskin is definitely a Class Act and truly a Brilliant Constitionial scholar he's a National treasure 🎉 thank you Mr Raskin for standing up for the RULE of LAW and Democracy!! RESPECT and GRATITUDE 🎉🎉
Trump doesn't know what class is you can tell that by the way he dresses that baggy blue suit and stupid red tie is all he knows.
We are so lucky to have this man as a member of congress.
Please take care of yourself because we might not make it without you.
Jamie BEAT Cancer, maybe "God" IS telling us something?
Please send this to the Supreme Court judges. Apparently they don’t know .
Right 😂😂😂😂
💙💙ABSOLUTELY 💙💙
Get tRump$ ar$es OUT!!!!
We can all copy this and send it to them.
totally corrupt Thomas, his wife Jennie traitors
Thank You Mr. Raskin for your service and all your help!!!
Please don't leave, unless your running for a higher position. We love you, and we would love to call you Mr President.
Mr. Raskin is fighting a brain tumor ...
Totally. We adore you Jaime, and yes, you would make an excellent President.
I’m Canadian but every time Congressman Raskin and Glen Kirshner and all of your other fabulous guests are on I am getting a US history lesson thank you Brian!
So are those of us who grew up and/ or live in the U.S.! 😉
And here in Ireland.
And just look at CANADA puppet leader - fight for your own safety -
I’m Canadian and follow both of them. Raskin is so smooth. What a great speaker ( no notes) and of course, he is particularly familiar with the constitution.
👍🇨🇦
Expand the Supreme Court and add term limits Please
Do you plan to purge justices because of age? What is your standard for SC change? We knew that Roe vs Wade hinged on a SCOTUS decision and had (50) years to enact State or federal law but some chose to stand on sand.
@@kenwalker687 If the President has a term limit, why not SCOTUS?
I love how Raskin is so knowledgeable and articulate.
Jamie Raskin is a bloody hero. A smart man who does things well, respect!
Right on, brother !
@@pecquet-dubalaix8288 He was against that insurrection! What on Earth are you talking about???
Talking about Jamie Raskin...
@@pecquet-dubalaix8288By what kind of bizarre Q-flavored insanity do you consider Jamie Raskin "an insurrectionist"? 😂
@@pecquet-dubalaix8288Lol, what drugs are you high on? Jamie Raskin was NOT an insurrectionist. You seem divorced from reality.
Raskin!!! The only person I could vote for President. Brave, feisty, brilliant, articulate !! Just what we need.
I didn't know who he was, until Drumpf's impeachments. It was that moment I "discovered" him. I've been impressed by him since.
I absolutely agree! I would also like Ms. Crocket as his running mate. Both work for the American people! Intelligent, articulate, and capable of running this country!! They would have my vote!
And since he isn't running he will be the first to tell you vote for Biden in November. ANYTHING ELSE is a vote for trump, not voting or voting 3rd party is a vote for the criminal wannabe dictator. VOTE BLUE
Our real choice for president in 2024 is Trump or Biden. Any other is a wasted vote. I'm voting for Biden again ❤🩹
He has given zero indication that he will ever do any such thing.
As a 73 yo from Europe I'm thrilled to learn about the US Constitution and jurisdiction!
Very well done! JAMIE RASKIN for PRESIDENT!
Hee should run for President, smart n knows the rule of the law more of Raskin in office to save America. Democracy is at stake. Trump needs to be convicted for all his crimes, he must not get away. S C. has to do their job n NoNo immunity at all. Vote Blue 👤💙👤💙👤💙👤
I would love him to run for president. Problem is I don’t think there are enough smart people in our country to understand him. Our country is filled with STUPID people. Jamie might just be too smart.
Yes, Rep Raskin for president ! Our current Lincoln! ❤
And you are so easily influenced and brainwashed by FAKE NEWS - coming from Europe one would think you would know better.
Only problem is he’s a liar. He says one thing but does the opposite. The democrats hate everything that our founding fathers built this nation on. Rights from the God almighty. They believe government can solve problems when all they do is create them.
I LOVE YOU, Congressman Raskin!💘💕💐
This mess is being strung out far too long. *We The People* demand justice.
We the people demand “Justices”
and we will not get it...its all a big joke.
@@Buddy-tq4ly Non-corrupt Justices!
Thank you Jamie Raskin! You're my hero! We here in Maryland are so very proud to have you as our representative! Jamie Raskin for future POTUS! 💙
You should be. He is EXCELLENT 🇺🇸💪
Yes! J.Raskin is a true GEM.
You and me are lucky to have a Intelligent Impressive Masterful Constitionial scholar in our Congress he truly is a National treasure 👏👏🥰⭐️💙💙💙💙💙 Brilliant and professional such a gentleman who fights for the RULE of LAW and Democracy 🎉🎉 bless him 🙌
Raskin/AOC!
Mr. Raskin should be on the side of the People in the Supreme Court hearing. 👍👏👏👏👏
I absolutely love these episodes with Congressman Raskin. He lays out everything so clearly and succinctly. When it all comes down to it, it's really common sense and we know that Trump does not have any of it.
Wow! Raskin is a genius. Jamie for president in 2028!
Agree!!
Oh my, that would be glorious. President Joe Biden 🇺🇸 🙌 👏 ❤️ ♥️ 💙 🇺🇸. Handing the reins down to a man who has the people's interests in mind. Wow! It's up to us people. We deserve another great leader to take the reins and move our country forward. Jamie Raskin would be incredible. VOTE BLUE AMERICA, 🇺🇸 VOTE 🇺🇸 BLUE. PRESIDENT JOE 😅BIDEN HAS PROVEN THAT EXPERIENCE MATTERS. 🇺🇸..
Yes !
YES PLS 🤞 🤞 🤞🥰💙🇺🇸💙
I really wish he would be our president.
Jamie Raskin, will you please teach this class to the SCOTUS? They need to be reminded of this.
Thank you Brian Tyler Cohen and Congressman Jamie Raskin for such a great show. It was Awesome. I love all the things your standing for and doing 💙💙 Vote 💙💙 and keep the evil from coming back in office along with congress. Biden/Harris 2024. 💙 💙 💙
We love you Mr Raskin, you are so knowledgeable about the law and a decent man on the right side of the law.
Jamie Raskin absolutely a scholar and devoted to our Constitution. President Quality's is what I see in Jamie. May God Bless You Jamie Raskin. Amen!!
We need his quality on the inside, making laws, legislating and one day judging. Somebody photogenic and charismatic can be Presdient.
It’s so crazy to think that a President should be above the law - of all people he should be even more accountable. Go Jamie!
Absolutely agree 💯🇺🇸💙
THIS!
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW ⚖ PERIOD NO ONE
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW ⚖ PERIOD NO ONE. TRUMP WANTS TO BE A DICTATOR FOR 1 DAY
All of you democraps must certainly be proud! I don't really understand why but keep your
No one, especially a President should be " doing criminal actions, "and b allowed to do SO!
POLITICS IS ALL ABOUT EDUCATION! Excellent outreach to the students of America! Just wonderful and makes me so proud to be a Democratic voter. Wonderful episode Brian and thank you Rep. Raskin.
Raskin is the most influential person in Congress. He is so well spoken and knowledgeable about every aspect of our constitution.
Thats because he's a constitutional scholar!!!
@@bonnieprice9482He's also a decent man who genuinely cares about people. 💙💙💙
It’s still so ironic that the Commander in-Chief of the United States military was a draft-dodger who was installed by Russian interference and was TWICE IMPEACHED and INDICTED for 91(later reduced to 88)felonies.
A very close race with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. True Americans💙
@@bonnieprice9482 A Constitutional scholar that insists that something in the Bill of Rights isn't actually a right but merely a privilege. Still want to trust HIS take on the Constitution?
Jamie Raskin is a highly decent intelligent patriot 👏 on the side of our country and democracy. Vote Blue 💙 up and down ballots
All the way down ticket at the BALLOT BOX folks 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸 Pro-Democracy and Pro-Choice 👍 💙 🇺🇸
Vote PROGRESSIVE!
We're a REPUBLIC DOOFAS
@@DarylRagland-ds1opWe're a democratic constitutional republic, Doofass!
@@DarylRagland-ds1opWe are a Representational Democracy, doofus.
Thank you Jamie Raskin!!! Your pure joy of teaching is so evident, even through a computer screen!!! This kind of teaching, these subjects should be taught in grade school. (And it's possible. ) I have learned more about our government and constitution during since that SOB took office than I learned in any class on any educational level. As a life long progressive, I should have known waaaaay more than I knew. At 73 years old, I am eating up this class and feel so fortunate to have Jamie teaching it. Brian, thank you for this! I am grateful to you both
Thank you Brian for bringing Mr. Raskin on. What a great guest! Also a great teacher! He explained the issue so clearly!
I would like to see more politicians explain things as clear as Jamie Raskin does. Educating the voters, he nailed it. He should be the head of the Supreme Court.
Agreed 👍🏼
Jamie Raskin would make a wonderful President!
At MIDAS TOUCH, many good teachers can be found. Judge Luttig, is also an authority on the Constitution. He loves his country in a non-partisan way with the highest integrity.
I have always wondered why John
Roberts was given the role of Chief Justice. In retrospect it was a mistake. His conservatives are out of control
I could listen to Jamie Raskin speak All Day- he's so damn smart! Thank you Congressman!! 💙💙💙
The Justices of the Supreme Court need to take your classes! Thank you for doing these.
The logic of Rep. Raskin clarifies the entire subject. Wish I could have taken his course.
Admiration and respect for the Congressman.
👏👏👏👏🥰🥰⭐️🌟 VOTE 💙 💙 💙 💙
I agree with you completely! 😊
I have so much respect for Mr. Raskin. My hope is that his brilliance rubs off on others. Thankfully he is on the right side of our Country.
Vote Blue!
It’s quite a contrast between the intelligent, like mr. Ruskin and the dim like MTG or DJT.
This is what a true and respected congressman looks like. Thankyou for all that you do. Raskin for President 2028. Great podcast Brian. VOTE BLUE FOR SANITY 💙
Thank you, Jamie Raskin, for being a voice of sanity and intelligence in the wasteland of our Congress.
Man, I have so much respect for Jamie Raskin as he is one of the smartest and hardest working Congressman ever, thank you Jamie!
Can you imagine this strong intellectual man who cares about his country first; as POTUS? 💙🇺🇸🗽
Clearly you're referring to Congressman Raskin, in which case I agree wholeheartedly.
Do it, Jamie Raskin. You would have my vote.
Jamie for Supreme Court. Could do good for America for a much longer time than as POTUS.
I've imagined that for years!
He's a million miles from intellectual. FJB. TRUMP 2024.. The
ONLY WAY to make America great again.
Thank you BrIan Tyler Cohen and Congressman Jamie Raskin for your insight. ❤
America's man. Honest, frank, straightforward, knowledgeable, outspoken, genuine, well spoken, fact giver, hes our road map for better
America❤❤
We all need to go out and VOTE.
Get your family and friends to VOTE.
VOTE President Biden 2024.
VOTE Blue 💙 🗳 ☑️
Vote for democracy
Bue!!!!!!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙
Love JR (Jamie Raskin). Truly honest and honorable representative. Next have Hakeem Jeffries (HJ) on. Another honorable and honest man
My god, the democratic party have some incredibly great people..
@@joannecleve4718so … go and vote!
The electoral college needs to be abolished! We never would have been in the middle of this crisis if the popular vote was counted!
This “ Class teaching “ Should be forwarded on all media Especially to each of the justices of the Supreme Court!
Jamie Raskin SHOULD run for president!
He's above President. He's a fantastic legislator and he needs to be on the SCOTUS. He's not looking for the publicity of being President.
Yes he would get my vote 💙💙💙💙
Yes, you are right…SCOTUS it is bc so far the orange blowfish is getting away with breaking laws.
I would venture to say that 95% of americans know very little about the constitution and very little about politics. Mr. Raskin is an amazing educator and he is going places. I love this guy.
And this wisdom is buried in some random BTC video with a pointless sensational title. Nobody will ever see this or be able to historically reference these words because of the ridiculous title. It's really a shame because these are critical words spelled out so accurately and concisely
I am not a constitutional scholar, or even all that conversant when it comes to politics...but I know a shyt shoveling carnival barker when I see and hear one. And...I've known this about donnie for decades, as have most people who live by "principles before personalities". FDJT!
You really don't need to know that much about the Constitution to know that the president is not a king and is not all-powerful. This is supposedly a democracy, which has no all-powerful leader. And a republic by definition doesn't have a monarch.
@@rogueninja1685 Well, he also teaches law so he is influencing his students, but this outreach to the internet audience is terrific. Like you, rogueninja, I wish it could be shared more broadly, like....what?
@@rogueninja1685
You watched it, I watched it, actually thousands has watched it hopefully forwarding it to family and friends who will forward it.
So happy to see Congressman Raskin in good health!!!
The moment the supreme court tries to violate the Constitution can we slam them into prison?
We will take them before an ethics committee, however they live as Kings and can get away with everything!!!
Congressman Raskin is a national treasure!! Thank you for helping us understand. I hope justice prevails!
Absolutely 🇺🇸💙
Long before this, Trump’s M.O. has always been gaming the judicial system.Looking for the loophole to save his sorry a$$.🙄
So true. The focus is on Trump that upset the political insiders system. Obama and Bush did worse things. They are the reason for the $35T. Will be very painful for our children to pay it up.
Every American needs to see this. Excellent job Brian and Jamie. 👌👌👌👌
I looked it up, and Professor Raskin graduated from Harvard Law School, was editor of the Harvard Law Review, and taught Constitutional law for more than 20 years.
Congressman Raskin is a real jewel! Many others in Congress could learn a lot from him if they'd only listen, hear what he says and learn about the country and rules of government which they have chosen to ignore.
SCOTUS should take heed of this brilliant explanation of the constitution.
But they won't, because they don't care. They got their "lifetime appointments" to the Court, they're secure, they don't believe they can be touched. The DOJ needs to remind them of who holds the power in America--even they can be indicted, convicted, and stripped of their position.
So thankful for people like Jamie Raskin!! Please keep fighting for the American people 💙
You are helping so many voters understand how our Constitution works! Thank you!
It's so good to see Congressman Raskin looking so well. He is so articulate and intelligent, it's a pleasure to listen to him. And you too, Brian.
An innocent man would NOT need immunity from prosecution.
Exactly what I’ve been saying if he didn’t do anything wrong why does he need total immunity which is ridiculous anyway because no one deserves total immunity I don’t give a crap who you are
And he himself has Said that about Hillary Clinton
Exactly 💯
He's never claimed that he did not COMMIT the crimes. He claims he's ALLOWED to.
He's not arguing that he's innocent. He's arguing that he has the right to do whatever he wants without consequences because he is Donald Trump.
Thank you, it has been a long time since I was reminded that the constitution begins with Congress.
This Senator should be in the Supreme Court, not those Trump’s puppets.
Representative not Senator. That might be a good idea since he says he isn't interested in being President.
Jamie is not a senator. He is a representative in congress.
@@peggyroane2092 a representative of morality, truth and justice
Thank you Congressman Raskin for all you do for our country!! Thank you Brian for your passion and spreading this message!! Vote 💙🇱🇷💙🇱🇷💙🇱🇷
This should be required viewing for every American.
Absolutely agree 🇺🇸💙
This is all taught to us dinosaurs back in high school in what was called "Civics" class
@@tigrrtom Yep. My daughter is 26 and I THINK she might have been required to take Civics. If so, she was likely one of the last age groups to have this requirement in high school. That has got to be rectified. I specifically recall taking Civics in 9th grade, but it was a half-year only, with the other half being Free Enterprise. I honestly don’t know what these kids are learning today.
Does anyone realize all of these democratic party people hate Trump and will do anything not to help this country.
Country first.
This man is a compulsive liar mostly about Trump
@@jennifer60515 Our students were taught but for whatever reason forgot, maybe because it was not real to them. They will now have a lot of examples of reality now.
I sure am glad Governor Raskin’s on our side. Talk about knowing your stuff!
Professor Raskin, you are a national treasure. I enjoy your lectures and explanations of our constitution.
All of our elected politicians should know The Constitution forward & backward...maybe they would understand they are working for the US & the people!!
Absolutely!!
Yes Yes Yes Yes I completely agree !!🎉😅 💙🇱🇷💙🇱🇷💙🇱🇷💙
It is obvious most Republicans do not know The Constitution especially the orange monster & mtg, Boebert, & gang of fools
All of them should have to take a test on the constitution in any political office they seek whether it's City county state or Nationwide
Absolutely if not they cannot run for office plain and simple
Jamie delineates it perfectly. Since Trump came on the scene it has been a shock to learn how many voters don't understand what a Democracy is. That includes the GOP.
As a South African born Australian who appreciates the value and power of her vote, I am appalled at the ignorance and political naïveté of the Average American I can see and hear on TV. Not only your average guy but people who made it to government. How on earth did they get here?
Jamie Raskin has the GIFT of teaching with clarity in explaining the Constitution meaning. Great speaker and an intellectual that earns his reputation. 🙏 Thank you Sir Jamie Raskin Congressman.
Jamie Raskin is brilliant in making what appears to be a thorny and complicated issue simple and chrystal clear.
Congressman,I am so glad that you are working with President Biden thank you may God continue to bless you and your health 🙏 ❤
Jamie Raskin is a man of integrity and courage. A true American patriot. 🇺🇸 I am so thankful for him and every person who is holding space for democracy and freedom. I keep all these representatives in my prayers. 🙏🏼🧎♀️➡️❤️🩹
This is why Civics should be taught in schools.
What would we do without precious , brave Rep Raskin. ♥️
Congressman Jamie Raskin is so articulate and intelligent. Such a sharp contrast with Trump, Greene, Jordan, Gaetz, Graham, Boebert, Cruz, McConnell and the list of morons goes on and on...Vote Blue people because we obviously can't count on SCOTUS to step up and uphold the Rule of Law and bring much needed Justice to the US.
Yes!
Well stated. 👍
I agree 💯%
Yeah, it's time to bring intelligence back
@BlueDove968
We can't count on the SCOTUS Republicons-
the Trump sympathizers
Jamie Raskin is a hero. I can't wait to see how the history of this country will hail him as the man who saved America. Thank You Mr. Raskin a million times over
Jamie Raskin, a great man in politics. Thank you for serving all walks of life. God bless you and this great nation 🇺🇸
Mr. Raskins, Great to see you! We love and respect you Sir!
Jamie Raskin should be giving this presentation to the Supreme Court !!!!! He should actually be on the Supreme Court !!!!!
"It's treason then" Thank you Hon. Jamie Raskin Montgomery County Maryland stands with you!!!
This issue stresses me out so deeply that I have to force myself, despite my love for Jamie Raskin, to even listen. I feel like my head will explode. After all these EVIL justices have done. It's just incomprehensible.
I agree. No sane person can fathom it.
Every state should be given the opportunity to elect a constitutional professor! Thank you Jamie Raskin…. Much Aloha to you and yours.
So that orange bloke could defraud us into working for him…. just to be treated as his slave. NOT
I like Mr Raskin , keep sticking it to the GOP !!! Vote Blue 🎉🎉2024🎉🎉
From the mouth of a brilliant Constitutional scholar and jurist. We need him in the future!
Rep Raskin, you are phenominal. Such an educational idea.It is fantastic. Younever let the People down, Ty and Brian.
THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK, CONGRESSMAN RASKIN!!!!
he has no facts - - - Each month, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issues Congress’ monthly fiscal report card by cataloging recent federal spending and revenues; signaling to the American people what those updated totals mean for our nation’s subsequent economic health.
Today, CBO released its Monthly Budget Review for July 2023.
Key Takeaway: In the first 10 months of FY 2023 the deficit has amounted to a staggering $1.6 trillion. This is $954 billion (or 131 percent) higher than the same point last year. In just 10 months, the FY 2023 deficit already exceeds last year’s full year deficit by $241 billion.
Then Versus Now: Compared to CBO’s May 2023 baseline, the 2023 deficit is now projected to be $1.7 trillion, about $200 billion higher than the May projection of $1.5 trillion.
Washington’s Spending Addiction: Spending is $473 billion (or 11 percent higher) and revenues are $418 billion (or 10 percent lower).
Economic Red Flags:
$1.7 Trillion. CBO expects the deficit will reach $1.7 trillion in 2023, about $200 billion higher than its May 2023 projection of $1.5 trillion.
Skyrocketing Interest. The largest spending increase was for interest payments on the debt, which increased by $146 billion (or 34 percent) compared to this time last year.
Student Loan Bailout Chaos Hurt the Economy. Spending for the Department of Education increased by $91 billion (or 57 percent), due to President Biden’s student loan bailouts.
Never-ending Economic Uncertainty. FDIC spending increased by $52 billion (such spending was negative last year), as the agency dealt with bank failures in the spring.
Bidenflation Harming Social Security. Social Security spending increased by $111 billion (or 11 percent), impacted by high inflation.
Health Care Spending Continues to Climb. Medicare spending increased by $104 billion (or 18 percent). Similarly, Medicaid spending increased by $29 billion (or 6 percent).
To Make Matters Worse: CBO’s monthly budget review for July is further compounded by Fitch Ratings’ August 1 downgrade of the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+ for just the second time in our nation’s history.
Thank goodness we have gentlemen who care about the constitution
Jamie Raskin is a statesman, Trump is a criminal. I am sick of a country where TRUTH doesn't matter anymore. Honesty is important to me. An Ex President who spews hate, violence, revenge & threats is unacceptable!
What a treat to have someone explain things to us layman that we understand!
Jamie Raskin s thinking and devotion and logic are on the same level as our founding fathers. A true American.Presidential material.
Jamie Raskin, please run for President. The position needs someone with your level of integrity, wisdom, legal knowledge and devotion to the Constitution.
WE JAVE THAT NOW IN PRESIDENT BIDEN. JAMIE WOULD BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU THAT!!
Jamie Raskin is dedicated to having Our Great President Joe Biden Re-Elected🇺🇸💙🦅🗽
After president Biden's second term, Jamie should run
I would love to see Jamie become our president in 2028
I’d like to see him on the US Supreme Court!
Mr.Raskin's constitutional expertise on full display, bravo!
Mr. Raskin, please send this whole series of this to the Sumpreme Court. 6 of them don't have a clue what the Constitution is. Thank you Brian and Congressman Raskin from the People of the United States of America!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Jami is the most brilliant person I ever heard ftom in the Senate. Keep up the good work thank you😅🎉😂❤❤
Raskin's presentation simply needs to be broadcast on primetime national TV, every day for a month. The American people are woefully uneducated about how their own government is designed to work. The networks need to put profit aside for now and let this knowledge sharing happen.
Love this idea!
