This morning, I spoke at the SOMOS Labor Breakfast. "We are not looking to remake New York City in my image. We are looking to remake it in the image of struggling workers across the five boroughs."

Can't make this up: 'The AfD parliamentary group supports the trip and, according to a spokesperson, will cover the costs. The goal, they said, is to keep communication channels with Russia open.'

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways: First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices. Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving. Except for, I don’t know, lying about a plague and getting a million of his own citizens killed. Oh wait, let’s also not forget the time that he:

Little do they realize, screenshots are just as valid in court WHEN someone inevitably gets access to those shared drives. Security is not this administration's strong suit, and the people are going to see it all eventually.

The Republicans are going all the way to the Supreme Court to starve hungry children but please tell me again how the shutdown is the fault of the Democrats.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune rejected a Democratic offer to reopen the government and extend expiring health care subsidies for a year. Thune said he thinks the offer is an indication that Democrats are “feeling the heat.” He must have been out of the country on Tuesday.

WOW: California Gov. Gavin Newsom gets a rock star welcome in Houston, Texas — greeted by cheering crowds lined up outside his rally today.

Column: Nancy Pelosi spent eight years in the wilderness of the House minority, but her clashes with President Trump returned her to icon status. Often, even Trump’s missteps seemed to elevate the California Democrat.

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

Spanish police say they have arrested 13 people suspected of belonging to the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua, in what would be the first time one of its cells has been dismantled in the country.

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

I don’t think “The Simple-minded, Sociopathic Wheezing Orange Gargoyle Stadium” is a good name for a sports venue.

One of the biggest problems with mainstream media is its regular platforming of lunatic people with mad ideas. Particularly the BBC, which is meant to be about public education. UK politics is broken in large part because we have lazy gatekeepers of MSM. Which is why so many are turning off MSM.

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

ICE is still being paid. Congress is still being paid. Private jets are still being bought. The White House is still being renovated. In the most prosperous country in the history of the world... This.👇

Faced with this dilemma—where do you get a trillion dollars quick?—OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies, like every great Ayn Randian self-created entrepreneur, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. Screw big tech & their overblown AI scheme!

No Kings! We need to get rid of this POS!

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP. Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

“ICE loves to demand our papers but it seems they don’t like it as much when we demand theirs,” said Ginger Quintero-McCall, one of FPF's lawyers in our latest FOIA lawsuit against the immigration agency.

I am an atheist, but I like this Pope!

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

There are some things we don't know, but what’s fairly clear is that Patel has been using the jet for events that have no real overlap with the actual responsibilities of the FBI. ICYMI @willsommer.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

We know the game. Court rules against Trump. Trump runs crying to his stacked Supreme Court. Roberts leads 6-to-3 giving Trump absolute unchecked power. We've all seen it a dozen times before. Except with SNAP he didn't even go to the SC. He's just straight up violating checks and balances.
