Oh my god the absolute depravity of this.

This nurse is from Bowie. She should be there right now.

Thanks for reading, Mr. President

So much for all the bootlicking that CBS and The Washington Post have been doing. The extortionist always comes back for more, after you've caved once.

Asked if he’ll attend the funeral of the slain National Guard member from West Virginia, Trump immediately pivots to talking about how popular he is in that state

Terrible, and on Thanksgiving of all days. I weep for her family.

2026 elections are coming up. Please register to vote!

One sign Trump is in deep trouble? Even Republicans don't believe his spin on prices. A CBS poll showed -4 in 10 Republicans say Trump making affordability sound better than it actually is -25% of Republicans disapprove of how he's handling inflation. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

From Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation video: “I refuse to be a battered wife, hoping it all goes away and gets better…there is no plan to save the world or a 4D chess game being played.“

Really @nytimes.com? Was it really necessary to make a whole 25-minute episode on this?

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

To think what the history books will say about this.

Eight Senate Democrats saw charts like these and decided "oh yes, now that public opinion is on our side and our opponent is facing electoral consequences for their policy choices, now is a great time to give up all of our leverage in health care negotiations" www.gelliottmorris.com/p/donald-tru...

As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

This is why a fair number of people stay home on election day and don't vote. What's the point, they ask, when no one stands up for them

Senate president’s redistricting stand has started a Democratic family feud

One of the results from Tuesday night that stuck out to me was in Luzerne County, PA. County Councilmember Tim McGinley (D) defeated incumbent County Controller Walter Griffith (R) one year after Trump won the county by 19%.

Next year will be the first time since 1993 that both Maryland and Virginia have trifecta governments.

Weighting off the 2024 electorate was a terrible decision by pollsters. I hope they've learned their lesson.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Trump screws his voters again: He just denied disaster aid to Maryland (while giving it to red states). But I took a look and it turns out the suffering Maryland counties are in Appalachia and backed him by 40 and 54 points. On the pod, @stevebenen.com and I discuss: newrepublic.com/article/2022...

Trump’s America: Thousands of furloughed federal workers in Hyattsville, Maryland waiting in line for food.

In which Jack Ciattarelli’s “inner-circle advisor” shouts “WE WANT A BAN ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE!” And, before introducing Jack, assures the crowd that he’s not “taking money from Jews.” JACK: Let’s hear it for Dr. Nadeem! We met 8 months ago & he hasn’t let me down one day since.

Official count from yesterday’s No Kings rally in Columbia, MD is 6,500. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped pull the numbers together. Howard county definitely showed up! @indivisiblehocomd.bsky.social #NoKings #Resist

My family would vacation in the Outer Banks when I was younger. This is heartbreaking.

Shutdown day 1: The Census website and data.census.gov are offline. The APIs do appear to be working for now but not all data lives there. Vital that we have alternate data hosters like IPUMS.

What does this mean? Stay tuned!
