This is delusional. Does any serious economist believe this? The president is off his rocker, and the GOP is too scared to acknowledge that.

From the Ballroom Blowout to Holiday Hell. These guys really know what they're doing!

Yeah, it was pushed out by feudalism for centuries!

👀 U.S. Senator Chris Murphy To Participate In Stand Up New Hampshire Town Hall On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) will headline the next Stand Up New Hampshire Town Hall at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.

We checked in with Curtis Sliwa. He still doesn't care what you think.

NEW: "A House of Dynamite," the Netflix film about nuclear war, is damn frightening. Now imagine Donald Trump in the cast. As I do in my OUR LAND newsletter. Check it out: link.motherjones.com/public/42313... Sign up for a free trial subscription to OUR LAND at davidcorn.com.

NEW: Yes, Dick Cheney lied to win public support for the invasion of Iraq--and so many Americans and Iraqis died due to his dishonesty. Here are the receipts.

Beshear finally joins the resistance.

A quote for the ages.

Last night was huge rejection of Trump's plan to rig midterms: -CA passes prop 50, giving Dems up to 5 new seats -VA elects Dem gov & leg, boosting redistricting chances -ME voters defeat voter suppression initiative -Dems retain majority PA Supreme Court www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Do they take reservations? What’s the signature cocktail?

Let’s hope Johnson really believes this.

GOP: Caring about the problems of citizens is a commie plot.

This is a major piece of the game. If Trump can get away with grabbing this power, which the Constitution clearly assigns to Congress, his path toward authoritarianism is much easier.

Brand new data: Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!). These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates. Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Today is a good day to be an American who doesn’t want to see oligarchic authoritarianism replace democracy. Enjoy.

Tonight won't stop the craziness of Trump's extremists. It will make them work harder to consolidate power and implement authoritarianism before the next elections.

Is Trump blaming himself and his GOP for the shutdown?

Politics is so complicated.

He's a busy guy.

Good news: Turns out that plutocrats are not as competent as we thought.

put a stake in it www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

DC is now bordered by Democratic governors, just saying www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Thinking about sending a reporter to Teterboro Airport to watch all the oligarchs fleeing.

Looking forward to Trump posting more photos of his marble White House bathroom tonight.

This campaign knows what it's doing.

Looking forward to all the stories now about how hot the Democratic brand is.

The Sherrill win in New Jersey may have more national significance than Mamdani's win—though both are major victories. A Big Tent night for the Democrats.

Can we call tonight the Ballroom Blowout?

This is not helping.

Thank you, Trump voters.

Indeed. They were part of a lonely band of journalist in Washington who were questioning the lies and misrepresentations that Bush and Cheney were tossing about to grease the way to war. Few mainstream outlets applied the skepticism that was warranted and we rushed into a disaster.

NEW: Yes, Dick Cheney lied to win public support for the invasion of Iraq--and so many Americans and Iraqis died due to his dishonesty. Here are the receipts.

Over 50 percent of voters in 2004 said they believed Bush had lied about WMDs, and still he won.

I will withhold food from millions of American families and cause many children to go hungry. Thank you for you attention to this matter.

Hey ADL, antisemitism?

“However, those with Cava bags full of cash can obtain dispensation.”

The Democratic Party has always embodied a wide ideological gamut. Nothing that happens today will change that.

Let’s never forget that 4500 US troops and about 200,000 Iraqi civilians died because Dick Cheney and his crew successfully deployed lies to grease the way to the Iraq invasion. He exploited post-9/11 fear and conned the public to launch a disastrous war. That’s his legacy.

Would be nice if the guy second in the line of presidential succession read a newspaper or watched the news. Just saying.

Always good to see an immigrant engaging in racism. Thanks for making it obvious.

Today would be a good day to elect a mayor who seems to enjoy politics and cares about voters and who’s not a craven jerk fronting for self-interested plutocrats.

No FBI agent or federal prosecutor will now ever dare to investigate a Republican, a MAGA figure, or anyone with any connection to Trump, his family, or his businesses. To even look in the direction of such a possible target would be career suicide.

If Mamdani wins, it will show that the oligarchy is just not as competent as some of us thought.

Let them eat half a cake!

Panic strikes.

Very funny.

Finally.

So Trump doesn’t know who he’s pardoning? Sounds like this ought to be a major congressional investigation.
