“.. Trump told aides he’s willing to end the U.S. military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed .. likely extending Tehran’s firm grip on the waterway and leaving a complex operation to reopen it for a later date.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/middle...

it’s almost as if we should have taken the whole grab ‘em by the p*ssy thing a bit more seriously

FYI, it’s the guns.

Earlier this year, Congress set aside $3 billion for snap benefits. I believe that DOGE took that money to use on something else and now the administration is desperately trying to make sure we the people don’t find out.

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities? Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children? And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

He is too dense to realize he just agreed his boss is off his rocker.

Trump in 2011: "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the only who has to get people together!"

My final though on this topic...

Trump looks at least one stroke under par today.

If this had been Biden, he would’ve been impeached and removed by end of day.

NEW: In addition to her sex offender waiver, Ghislaine Maxwell has an “out” designation that would allow her to leave the facility for work assignments. Some work assignments for FPC Bryan inmates are at Texas A&M University which is just 6 miles away. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Sen. Jon Ossoff: "Trump promised to release the Epstein Files. Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was gonna release the Epstein Files?"

This is what ripping families apart over immigration status looks like. Don’t look away

OSSOFF: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct? RATLIFFE: No OSSOFF: This is an embarrassment

my goodness you can see Tulsi Gabbard trying to come up with evasive answers to Kelly's questions in real time

I hate our president.

This is gold.

1/ Media needs to explain this is NOT a legal option. Yes, Trump said he's “most likely” to give #TikTok 90-day extension. No, that's not a legally available option. The 270 days lapsed. An extension is no longer available (even if TikTok met 3 conditions for extension, which it surely doesn’t.)

Has anyone checked in on the cats, the dogs, and the pets of the people who live in Springfield, Ohio?

Today I deleted Threads. I’m torn about Facebook and Instagram. The prospect of the next 4 years being played out in social media makes me sad. Its all just spin and nuance; news - raw news - just doesn’t seem to exist.

More than 200 executive orders expected tomorrow. Not one of them will lower the price of eggs.

When the total disregard for the law is a feature and not a bug.

Well, this is awkward. This is gonna make the job a little more difficult. www.scrippsnews.com/Politics/tru...

I took myself to see Wicked today. As a person who has never “fit in“ a day in my life, I was not prepared. I’ve seen it on Broadway. I’ve read the book. The movie did a spectacular job of bringing Elphaba to the forefront. That being said, if you plan on seeing it over the holidays, bring tissues.

$44,640 x 1.25 = $55,800.00 Dodge isn’t going to eat that cost just to sell you a minivan. Canada will retaliate. This won’t be pretty.

I went down a tomato rabbit hole. A 25% tariff on Mexican imports will be crippling to so many industries. This (waves arms at everything) is just so stupid.

Today, my father-in-law will visit for Thanksgiving. He voted for The Felon. Today will be a struggle.

Before I even posted anything, I had 33 followers here. Seriously guys, I’m not that interesting.

Don’t drink raw milk. Like, why would you do that? Just eww.
