After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

But “Sleepy Joe,” amirite?

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead. He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

There are no words for how evil this is

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Every single thing he does has potential conflict of interest because he's running for-profit side ventures and has a 100% anonymous bribe bucket in the form of his cryptocurrency. We can't be sure any of his policy decisions isn't just government for sale. Unprecedented.

Can you guess which party the members of Congress fighting for this are from? Hint: It's the same party that always seems to be fighting alone to protect everyday Americans from harm.

When you send the National Guard into cities; When you deploy masked ICE agents to yank people off the streets; You’re getting Americans used to images they shouldn’t be used to.

I went a third of a century accepting, on the testimony of a cartoon, that coyotes chase roadrunners before I ever saw the real thing.

This is a real post from the Kentucky Secretary of State. 🤪

Take wealth and power from the vulnerable and give it to the wealthy and powerful. Crush the weak with every tool at their disposal. It's the entire GOP agenda.

Today, Trump breaks his own record for the longest shutdown in American history.

Oh, give me a fucking break with this shit, WaPo.

How does one party “withdrawing” clear the conflict when the judge knows the party’s interest was so obvious that it became a party?

I hope Flavor Flav remembered to turn his clock back one hour.

Open Enrollment is underway, but premiums are skyrocketing for nearly 2 MILLION Californians because Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits. While Republicans deliberately hike premiums for working families, Democrats are fighting to reopen the government & lower health costs.

This kind of breathtaking cluelessness, along with Gatsby parties and gilded bathrooms, gives me hope that the villagers (whose health premiums have doubled or tripled) might eventually wake up and grab their pitchforks.

I would like to protest against Christmas's illegal occupation of November.

NEW: The Republican chairman of the House oversight committee on Friday asked Alex Acosta, the former US Attorney who signed off on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s controversial 2007 plea deal, if he wanted to clarify his recent testimony to the panel. 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Instead of getting suspended for calling it a mob riot, maybe the DOJ lawyers should have quoted one of my Republican colleagues. 🧵

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Pay attention: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power. Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state. @dougbockclark.bsky.social

Did @nytpitchbot.bsky.social write this headline?

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

the wsj newsroom is one of the best in the business; fair, accurate, informative. i am envious of their reporting. and its opinion pages is one of the worst in the business; liars, sycophantic, blind to reality, dangerous. i am terrified of their ideas.

Panera Bread moves to ‘shitty bread model’. “This sucks ass, we’re really excited”, say executives who will parachute out of the failing company with $377 million dollars each

ANTIFA statue, right in the middle of Washington DC!

A 62-year-old freelance worker in Claremont is at risk of losing his ACA coverage. Meanwhile, Trump and Mike Johnson just extended House Republicans’ taxpayer-funded vacation for another week instead of working to reopen the government or fix the health care crisis they created.

Outright corruption. www.newyorker.com/news/the-fin...

This is the way, Blue states!

#ICYMI: We found that the FDA allowed 20+ foreign factories to continue to send certain medications to the U.S. even after those facilities were banned because of concerns about contamination and other breaches. The agency kept the practice largely hidden from the public and Congress.
