I'm going to say it again b/c some folks on here seem confused... if you were eligible to vote in the US in 2024 and you didn't vote for Harris/Walz...you are to blame for all of the horrors happening. *With grace given to those who were hospitalized and physically couldn't vote.

Well she surrendered all her dignity and integrity and got nothing A lesson that MAGA courtiers never seem to learn

I guess Epstein isn’t in the Epstein files.

Under Trump: - The economy has slowed, heading towards recession now - Inflation is rising, most things cost more - His cutting of energy subsidies is driving up utility prices - He's taken 100s of billions from health care/food assistance in a war on working people - He's making measles great again

Lots of people focusing on Pulitzer Board's demand that Trump turn over all his tax returns since 2015, but it will be just as hard for him to debunk the Russian claims generally or the specific claims in the Pulitzer-winning articles. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The Board is also asking Trump to turn over all his litigiousness, including this suit where he admitted he knew he would lose and did it to cause a headache.

The Pulitzer suit could be a very useful demonstrative bc the right wing (and propagandists like Jeff Gerth) have created a myth abt NYT and WaPo reporting on Russia which is largely makebelieve, as I laid out two years ago. www.emptywheel.net/2023/02/07/t...

Michelle Obama on the loss of Rob and Michelle.🕊️

Michelle Obama revealed on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' that she and Barack Obama had plans to have dinner with Rob and Michele Reiner on Sunday night.

Unemployment rose to a new 4-year high to 4.6%, as the incompetent conman from Queens' destruction of the "envy of the world" economy President Biden handed to him continues to be decimated. 😳👇

If only we had thought of this! 🤔 Then there’d be no Affordability Crises!! #TrumpInflationCrises #Pinks

Trump swore he’d make housing “affordable.” Instead we’re staring down mortgages so long you’d need to pass the keys down like a family heirloom. #TrumpInflationCrisis

This transcript is like reading some random, senile 85-year old bigoted uncle being put in charge of U.S. foreign policy. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

ALL TRUMP TRANSCIPTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED from White House site except Jan 20 inaugural address (100% teleprompter) Neurologists can clearly see SIGNS OF DEMENTIA in the changing syntax, grammar, making stories up, trailing off, no thought coherence, aphasic paraphasia etc Drs did this w Reagan

If you didn't vote for Kamala Harris, this is your fault. I'm talking to MAGA, Jill Stein voters, and the tens of millions of people who chose to sit out the 2024 election.

Trump is playing in our face. The fact that this was what Trump came up with when folks are experience higher prices because of his tariff policy and inaction to bring down prices is peak gaslighting. He raised the prices and then handed out signs pretending he didn’t.

Is Trump right that the problems confronting soybean farmers are all due to Biden? There's an old Australian expression: Yeah nah.

I wrote about Trump's mental unfitness recently in my free Stop the Presses newsletter, which you should subscribe to.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

"As you sit down with your family, let us remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving: the victories of the U.S. Army and Navy, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the aspirational nature of our Republic."

I am so f*ckin' pissed off right now! This poor specialist and her unit never should have been deployed in DC! She has been used basically as 'cannon fodder' for an Orange lunatic who has no idea what the f*ck he's doing!

During this season of giving, let’s do what we can to give back to the communities that have given us so much. From our family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Breaking on MS NOW: Rep. Eric Swalwell is suing Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, accusing him of violating privacy laws.

If ever there was a "mandate," it's gone now. #ETTD There's no miracle to cancel out the devastation of the last 10 months of Trumpian chaos. Popularity will not return and #TrumpIsFailing.
