Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything." For once, I believe him.

With Dems like this, who needs enemies.

Such selective hatred.

Stupid act of capitulation. Some “blue wave” ….

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party. They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word. Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

Didn't Tuesday's election results show that it actually WAS working???

Tonight was a very bad night.

Don’t tell me Dems are going to cave, after all this!

Because he’s “such a great businessman”.

it’s very clear at this point that Republicans are being blamed for then shut down. doubling down to ruin Thanksgiving when you know you’re going to take the blame is unhinged politically.

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here. They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad. Most importantly, they were human beings. And they were murdered. By the government of the United States of America.

Two things that will live as enduring symbols of this time in history.

That $170 billion for ICE is burning a hole in Kristi’s pocket. Let’s run out and buy 10 jets with no engines! Wheee!

What’s with the bizarre fat-phobia, from the office of Fatso?

Should Trump be unable to serve, I doubt the cult obsession would transfer to Vance, who’s widely mocked and has the personality of a wet sponge. The effect on MAGA would be the same as when you interrupt a trail of ants with a little spritz of Raid: confused fragmentation and dispersal.

Frogs win big!

Somehow Schumer has managed to get the Republicans to the edge of a field of rakes, pointed out how to avoid it, and their plan is to confidently walk right into the middle of the field.

The lengths Trump will go to keep Americans hungry knows no bounds. apnews.com/article/snap...

America’s melting pot: Dr. Oz predicts we’ll disappear into negative-number puddles of fat.

We need a complete re-think.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

How awesome is she??

The most expensive sandwich in history.

Another major plus!

Only what every other president has done — yet he’s somehow powerless.

“A decent country, with decent people that all want the same thing”. She gives me such hope.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Ya’ think?

It’s such a hate/love relationship with Amazon. Mostly hate, at this point.

Best question ever.

Some “patriot”. Bet he hates apple pie, too.

Not a good look. But is it a deliberate F-you?

All the thinkpieces about Bluesky don't account for the fact that it's occasionally 100% wall-to-wall baseball on here

Completely tone deaf.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

Keep your voices strong.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Good news, yes —but it’s less than half of what it was before he screwed it all up with his tariffs.

It won’t even put us back at square one, that he inherited! But of course now he’ll be the hero.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

It’s not the shutdown. It’s Trump.

So of course the extortion payment will go directly to help people, right?

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"
