This lunatic was another brilliant Trump appointment to one of the most important positions in the US government. All the best people.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Welcome to “justice” in Donald Trump’s America.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people. Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people. We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

God even his own fucking lies are have no internal logic. If he believed his own bullshit about "Tariffs have earned us 17 trillion in just 10 short months!" then paying back 3 trillion would not be an issue.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

It’s beginning to look like Texas’ redistricting wasn’t such a good idea after all.

This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

Even though this happened two weeks ago I just saw it. ICE shoot a US Marshall. This is how untrained these idiots are. www.latimes.com/california/s...

It’s time for new leadership

It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

@sanders.senate.gov: "The message that came out last night is that some Democrats (remember, 47 people in the caucus, 8 voted, a small minority) that all over the country, people say, 'Stand up, fight, fight.' We had No Kings rallies, 7 million people coming out. And last night was a setback."

Last night, tragically, 8 Democrats caved. But the struggle continues. Short term, we must not allow health care premiums to double for more than 20 million Americans. Long term, we must provide health care to all as a human right.

Ghislaine Maxwell's special treatment in her Club Fed prison is revealed; Dems cave on the shutdown; MAGA Mike won't commit to a vote on ACA subsidies; Trump's bizarre Oval Office moment; and more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT!

76% of ACA enrollees are in states Trump won. They're gonna feel the sticker shock real soon.

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

It’s not the end of shut down. It’s the end of ACA. I will admit I’m wrong if I’m wrong but suspect Johnson will not convene House until Matt Van Epps is elected/sworn in to nullify the yes vote by Adelita Grijalva to release Epstein files. The timing couldn’t have been more staged by the Trump 9.

Today is the 250th birthday of the Marine Corps. Parris Island Class of 1986.

Tapper: You sell trump kneepads— Newsom: Signature series. Sold out at the moment. Because people have sold out and because universities have been selling out, because law firms have been selling out, because corporate leaders have been selling out, people are selling out this country.

@sanders.senate.gov: "We have already had 15 Republicans in the Senate defy Trump and say, 'Release the SNAP funds.' So I think that if we had held firm, it would be the Republicans who would yield. That was not the position of these 8 Democrats."

China just extended its lending facility to Tesla by $2.38 billion last quarter. Now he disses them right after getting his $1 trillion pay package approved. Tesla shareholders are stupider than followers of Jim Jones.
