Whether it's Hillary Clinton making $100,000 in cattle futures 14 years before she became First Lady or Donald Trump making $1.7 billion from his DJT meme stock while serving as president, both sides have made money in controversial ways.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd. Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage. Another reason for Medicare for All.

They’re going to need forensic people to go over all the paperwork on the Epstein documents this case is exactly what I said it was, Huge as fuck. Over 4,000 wire transfers.

There is zero justification for this photo to be redacted

"tell me we didn't just fire a dozen $500,000 missiles at a $200 camel" "sir, no evidence of any camel present, sir!"

Today: Trump asks when DOJ will say “NO MORE” to releasing additional Epstein files; Suggests they release only Democrat names. Calls it a witch hunt.

Soon we’re all going to be penalized for speaking unkind words about the führer and liberals — the resistance will be labeled as “Enemies of the State” and become National Security Threats. They’re going to take away our voices if we don’t stop them.

The GOP "healthcare plan," if they ever come out with one, is going to be "Peloton is 80% off and only the rich get chemo." The point of RFKism is that healthcare is a consumer choice, and the right choice is Instagram woo. If you didn't go to the Equinox juice bar the ensuing cancer is your fault.

As Trump touts higher than expected GDP growth, seems worth pointing out spending on health care is the bulk of it. Is that really something to celebrate? “this was a stronger than expected print however for all the wrong reasons.” www.beckershospitalreview.com/financial/ho...

Shout out to Ron Wydn. Thank you. Yrump being chummy w Russia and ignoring our allies is making mor and more sense now. Impeach Donald J. Trump.

So it seems obvious that everyone in the Trump Administration knows he's a pedo sex offender. But consider this: they're all okay with that. That rot runs deep.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

‘I have a female for him’

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Trump claims credit for military bonus that Congress already approved

CBS News staffers might want to check into how things are going at their boss’s anti-woke “university” in Austin. Via @ngluckman.bsky.social www.chronicle.com/article/at-t...

AI and crypto have created the illusion that all is well with the economy — even as Trump has taken a wrecking ball to it. When the AI and crypto bubbles burst, we’ll likely see the damage Trump’s wrecking ball has done. Be warned.

The is a declaration and act of war without congressional approval, and imperialistic jingoism.

BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard has quietly enacted a policy downgrading swastikas and nooses from hate symbols to “potentially divisive.” The manual is now in effect, despite public outrage and warnings after the draft was revealed last month. (Washington Post)

1. Make a “deal”. 2. Get needlessly and mercilessly thrown under a bus. @nytimes.com @thehill.com thehill.com/homenews/adm...

15 people were killed in an antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach on Sunday, an act more shocking because of the low gun violence numbers in Australia.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American. Two options: 1) ICE deliberately targeted him. 2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens. Hard to say which option is scarier.

Fun fact: Ronald Reagan also had Alzheimer's during his second term in office.

Fact-check: true

What we’ll remember about this year.

real police state stuff

Trump tonight after losing: “I wasn't working on it very hard. I wasn't very much involved.” Below is one of NINE Truth Social posts he made about it, which is in addition to phone calls, visits to IN by Vance, numerous public statements, and threats by several henchmen.

I want to see if he has the balls to do this if the tanker is under a Chinese flag.

WALKINSHAW: Are you familiar with the Proud Boys? GLASHEEN: I'm familiar with the name WALKINSHAW: Does the FBI still designate them as an extremist organization? They did during Trump's first term GLASHEEN: We are in the process right now of changing our, uh, categories for domestic terrorism

"Barrier"? "At risk"? "Disability"??? What the fuck are we doing here?

I guess the president just announced he recently took his latest in a series of cognitive tests, this one in front of a room full of medical personnel observing him?

The other reporters in the White House press corps are apparently waiting until the president actually takes a swing at one of their female colleagues before they say anything

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

“great American job creator”

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

There will be a Pulitzer prize for the journalist who can reveal the details of how this pardon happened.

It’s Election Day in Tennessee, and we know: The power is with the people. If you live in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, head to IWillVote.com to make sure you know when and where to vote today.

TODAY IS THE DAY! GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

One of the four elements of malignant narcissism is sadism.

Translating Nancy Mace: If they’re brown, black or Muslim, I want them out. If they’re not white Europeans, I want them out. I know that’s what she’s saying bcuz I used to do some of the same and use some of the same code words. And then I realized it was wrong. And I stopped.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
