This does not sit well for the American people. Our gut is telling us something is wrong here. The question comes up over and over again: if there’s nothing to hide, then why is the President engaged in such a clear cover up and pressure campaign of Members of Congress?

Amazing art!! I hope the cat doesn’t get ill. Thank you Sassy @sassy0210.bsky.social 💙🤗💙🤗 @annabanana1307.bsky.social @abbarsha.bsky.social @auntbec.bsky.social @cloudphoto.bsky.social @mspepper27.bsky.social @danielmmayeda.bsky.social @indy1313.bsky.social @menjicm.bsky.social

These Trump billionaires think we’re all morons. Their excuses while they raid the treasury and play us all for suckers are getting worse and worse.

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true? HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart-- KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down? HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs KARL: So they might not go down?

Welker to Sen. John Barrasso on healthcare: "What I hear you saying is there's no plan, there's no bill." (Note that he doesn't try to refute her claim!)

🔥REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “Survivors say at least 20 politicians/billionaires/movie producers are implicated criminally— Trump isn’t going after the rich elites… billionaires in the files are funding attack ads against me… your vote on this will last longer than Trump…”

I'm actually shocked. Good on Dana Bash for asking the question, and I genuinely would not have expected Greene to answer the way she did.

I’m on the train back to New York City after spending a night in dc. Last night I went to a steakhouse and sat a table away from two of the presidents lawyers.

Imagine a life so simple that you pin blame for all ills on a single factor: a screen. That's how the moral entrepreneurs Twenge (here) & Haidt make their livings. The #BrokenTimes enables *their* addiction. The Screen That Ate Your Child’s Education www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/o...

Quality Community Note on Troy Nehls.

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Bessent: "We're not going to tell the American people that they don't know how they're feeling, which is what the Biden administration did." (Trump of course has repeatedly called affordability concerns a "hoax")

Wow! Can we hope this is sign of big MAGA cracks?

It's a revealing moment... J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost. The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I can disagree with the president at times, especially this past Monday, on the Marines' 250th anniversary, when he honored the new Syrian president who is an Al Qaeda terrorist and was wanted by our government for years."

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

BASH: So you regret the FB post that was taken down of you in 2020 holding a gun alongside "the squad" and liking a tweet of somebody calling for the execution of Nancy Pelosi? MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Of course I never want to cause any harm or anything bad for anyone.

It’s been a difficult weekend for MAGA.

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: waffles and eggs, big cup of Folgers, then fire up the old laptop to get email dating advice from a convicted sex trafficker. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.

"If you’re thinking that the president just likes to say the word 'trillion' without any meaningful connection to reality, you’re not alone..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Malcolm Nance said these sound like the titles of porn movies.

Trump plans to invade Venezuela without giving any justification. Some liberal critics cry foul.

QUESTION: Who is your political inspiration? SCHLOSBERG: “In the modern era, I love Nancy Pelosi… the most important female political figure in American history… the backbone of the Democratic Party… the reason we have the Affordable Care Act… she deserves a lot of credit for the example she set.”

Government funding bill cuts food safety regulations. See the provisions for yourself www.snopes.com/fact-check/g...

Trump has had all this time and it’s still just “concepts of a plan.” Trumpcare = survival of the fittest.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

California’s attorney general asked a federal court for the second time to end Trump’s National Guard deployment in Los Angeles, arguing the administration is “treating the President’s June 7 memo as a blank check” that allows it to deploy troops nationwide without justification.

Here is Trump when he owned the Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA pageants bragging about how he “was able to get away with” going backstage when contestants were naked since he was the boss and he had to do “inspections.”

Massachusetts AG Campbell: What you heard from the president and the speaker is total bullshit. Let’s take a step back. Never in the history of this country — during a war or an emergency shutdown — has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

The Trump-Graham Golf Classic was today.

Corruption at unprecedented levels with a murderous regime, a mark of totalitarian fascism but: "Blending family and governance" makes it sound like a harmless avocation. #BrokenTimes

Something familiar is happening… In the civil rights era, they smeared leaders as “communist” to break their credibility and stall their momentum. It was the easiest way to silence dissent and turn justice movements into supposed security threats.

I’m so glad she said this. It needs to be said. We tried twice and America choose the criminal. Now imagine anyone slightly better running against a woman. Probably same result. Yes lots of caveats but be real.

I have a message for Donald Trump: Your past sexual abuse of teenagers has not lowered the price of eggs! by Chuck Schumer

The neverending saga of white people yelling at Black people to save them after white people voted to put a known felon and pedophile back in the White House. Yeah yeah I know not all white people but definitely the majority of white people so try yelling at them instead of us.

OK this is the most desperate "not all white people" deflection yet

Isn't "Barely Legal" a term popularized by the late Larry Flynt, the adult magazine publisher conservatives have despised for decades?

1. Mark Epstein was joking. 2. "Blowing" does not mean fellatio. 3. If it does, Trump fellated *somebody.* www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Did she really go there? “What country.” Has MTG gone deep state Russia, Russia, Russia? 🍿

Wow. Marge is not playing around.

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

Bondi in July: “there’s no Epstein client list” Bondi now: “the department will pursue (Democrats) with urgency” Imagine thinking this DOJ is anything but a tool of the aspiring dictator in the Oval Office

In a lifetime of classless, obnoxious, and disgusting things said by Trump, his social media post about Thomas Massie’s marriage is right up there. Meanwhile, all the Republican fake Christians will continue to follow and praise this gross shell of a human because they love it all.

🎯

WATCH — @milestaylor.bsky.social : “The average 🇺🇸 family saved $1,600 a year from tax cuts, but spent $4,000 a year on Trump’s price increases — now he's realizing what conservative economists have known for centuries: Tariffs are taxes. And he's having to walk it back.”

Trump: Lindsey Graham - great! Marge Greene - terrible! If anything proves conclusively that MAGA’s central AND ONLY organizing principle is loyalty to Trump, this simple example proves it better than most anything else.

A clear message to the MAGA-faithful about the value of loyalty & a disgraceful exercise of the power the Founders entrusted the President with to do justice. x.com/kyledcheney/...
