Seriously, for their own good, Dems who voted for this need to not be saying “we did a good thing, this is why.” The line needs to be “we fought like hell to get healthcare back, but Donald Trump was willing to burn the country to the ground.”

Stefanik's NY governor announcement is straight from the Trump School of Belligerent Capital-Letter Nicknames. Even after last week's GOP drubbing, she's treating Trump as a winning role model. What can she be thinking? It's a mystery. Or maybe not. @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/elise-stef...

U.N. climate negotiations begin Monday at a meeting on the edge of the Brazilian Amazon, with leaders pushing for urgency, cooperation and acceleration after more than 30 years fighting to curb global warming by drastically reducing the carbon pollution that causes it.

👀 Speaker Johnson what say you ?

About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says. New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%. But Trump has halted those efforts. Read the full story: propub.li/494vgbw

It can be hard to do math in your head, while standing up, on national television. Nerve-wracking, too. But even so, in twenty seconds on the air, I did a better job than the President in costing his latest idea and figuring out whether his new idea of a $2,000 rebate check will work. (It won't.)

You gotta wonder why Democrats thought it necessary to cave at nearly midnight on a Sunday of a holiday weekend. Because the optics are shit.

The language of this pardon is extremely broad. It includes “all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential electors…”

But…those are state charges. They were never federally charged. Nor could they be even if we win in 2028 because the statute of limitations will have expired. But okay.

That was FAST. Ketanji Brown Jackson’s gambit is working.

“Nativism has proved politically potent enough to carry Trump to the Oval Office twice,” Idrees Kahloon writes. Now, “it may be powerful enough to bring net migration down to zero, perhaps for some time.” https://theatln.tc/azTwXiQL

NEW: Donald Trump has pardoned a long list of allies in his bid to subvert the 2020 election including: -Rudy Giuliani -John Eastman -Mark Meadows -Sidney Powell -Ken Chesebro -Christina Bobb -Kelli Ward -Jenna Ellis www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

BREAKING President Trump has granted a pardon to a slew of Trump world figures, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

BREAKING: Trump has just issued pardons to dozens of conservatives who tried to overturn the 2020 election results, including: Mark Meadows, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn, and more — per pardon attorney Ed Martin.

At 11:54 p.m. ET, the First Circuit *denied* the Trump administration's request for a stay pending appeal in the SNAP case. #SCOTUS now has 48 hours (so, through 11:54 p.m. on Tuesday) to either grant the same relief or extend the "administrative stay" entered by Justice Jackson on Friday night.

Here’s what you need to know about legal issues like the National Guard and SNAP for the week ahead, with a little politics in the mix too. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:

If you enjoy “Death by Lightning” on @Netflix.com, you should read @candicemillard.bsky.social’s “Destiny of the Republic,” C.W. Goodyear’s “President Garfield,” Kenneth Ackerman’s “Dark Horse,” and, if I may be so bold…my own “The Last Lincoln Republican: The Presidential Election of 1880.”

It kind of feels like a make a wish campaign for Donald Trump right now. On our dime, of course.

Things are fine.

Aged like roadkill in RFK’s trunk.

While we're waiting to hear the terms of a shitty deal, this needs to be said. Whatever reason Trump is claiming there'll be a $2K tariff dividend (remember the $5K DOGE dividend), there'll be no such thing. Right now Trump is staring at a $200B tariff payback hole. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Nope never gonna happen

Trump just got massively booed and flipped off by the crowd at the Commanders game. (Video: Marisa Schultz)

Let’s help TN flip this seat! @aftynbehn.bsky.social

Trump is in the Fox booth for the Commanders game. They note that Reagan used to be a sportscaster and asked if Trump wants to call a play. He says sure! And then his call is “let’s see what happens here.” Can’t even fake knowing a players name.

I never see this really emphasized in news about Senate votes so - reminder that the 45 Democratic senate seats represent something like 54% of the population.

Half the Beltway got shut down for this jackass.

Don't worry, Donald Trump, all those middle fingers were simply signaling that it was first down

President Donald Trump was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd at the Commanders ga— … oh, wait wrong clip

Per Axios, “at least 10 Senate Dems will back a vote to advance a funding package through January”. In exchange, the Senate will “hold a December vote on extending ACA tax credits for one year” (it needs 60 votes to pass).

The Monday morning commute could be challenging, with up to 10 inches of snow expected in the Chicago area overnight into morning rush hour.

Um, there is no ballroom at the White House. Is Trump delusional?
