REPUBLICAN Rep. Chip Roy: “Self-serving, self-dealing” WASH POST on the shameless @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty money grab: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... (The @tennesseannews has still not covered our senators stuffing their pockets with millions of taxpayer dollars)

An important side note about today's Epstein/Trump revelations. They show that Todd Blanche's questioning of Maxwell was either (a) completely incompetent; or (b) intentionally crafted not to elicit facts incriminating Trump. Either way, he is not fit to serve as Deputy Attorney General.

Happy discharge petition day to all who celebrate... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Private equity drove a nursing home chain into the ground. Then it declared bankruptcy, which could let it off the hook for hurting patients. Now, it's trying to sell the company to the same people who bankrupted it. @blumenthal.senate.gov @goodlander.house.gov and I are sounding the alarm.

Where’s the money, Felon?

THE SITUATION ROOM

THE EPSTEIN LATEST: a question for DOJ DAG Todd Blanche: did he know about the Epstein-Maxwell exchanges before his Maxwell interview? (The FBI had gone through the files after all.) And if not, why not? And is she going to enjoy the spoils of a prison "camp" and other benefits, after all this?

I vote for "It's bad." Speaking of bad… 👇👇👇 These seem like additional confessional fodder. (What rough past, Donny? Of what bad moments do you speak?) #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

That's Chump In A Nutshell. He Just Doesn't Care......

Rep Jim McGovern taking no prisoners is giving me life! 🔥 Brilliant snark.

📌 THIS ‼️ Was when having a Decent • Compassionate 🇺🇸 Leader | President ~ was a real GOOD vibe 👇🏾🐥

Starving people is a weapon of control. So, too, is controlling and attacking the media, attacking science and higher ed, and using the military against citizens and innocent people. All weapons of control.

Trading American's access to healthcare for a pat on the head & a pinky promise isn't "taking action to protect healthcare for tens of millions of Americans" no matter how much these 8 senators shout these empty words. #Pinks

Hey MAGA: why would Ghislane Maxwell be receiving “concierge style treatment?” WHY?

On November 8, 2025, in Chicago, a masked ICE or CBP GOON point-blank sprayed pepper spray at worried neighbors, including several elderly individuals, after causing a car accident.

🗣️Where are the #Epstein files?

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings." They did their part. The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday. They did their part. 8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night. They did not do their part.

Rachel Maddow warns: if Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, millions will face massive premium spikes. A WV couple’s plan could jump from $300 to $4,700 a month. The #GOPHealthCareShutdown isn’t fiscal discipline—it’s a war on working families’ health and wallets. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Don’t believe the myths. The ultra rich want people to hate the poor so we can’t see how badly we’re being screwed over.

@sandieglo.bsky.social thank you for sharing this.Think about this when you vote.

Thankful for all the firefighters and first responders across America for all you do

Whoomp! There it is!.....

We have a vice president who has turned his back on the people and programs that got him where he is today. He is one hear beat (and two cankles) away from the presidency. #USDemocracy
