Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.” In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino now admits that when he peddled bogus conspiracy theories about the pipe-bombs case, he didn’t know what he was talking about. “I was paid in the past for my opinions,” he said. I’m not sure if he’s fully thought this through. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

President Trump's promise to pardon Juan Orlando Hernández, serving 45 years in U.S. prison for drug trafficking, is part of a "shocking" effort to interfere in Honduran politics, says Rodolfo Pastor with the ruling left-wing LIBRE party. "It's a blow to Honduran dignity and democracy."

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Our small businesses are the backbone of our rural communities. This holiday season let’s lift up the shop owners, and family-run businesses that make Northern and Upper Michigan feel like home. #MI01 #Callieforcongress #supportsmallbusinesses #happyholidays #AffordableLIFE #LIFE #Income

A federal judge refused to block the government’s overhaul of a DHS immigration status database into a national voter verification tool, even as she questioned its legality. The new GOP-backed database is aimed at purging noncitizens from voter rolls. https://bit.ly/48ig3Cx

A Tennessee judge temporarily blocked use of the National Guard in Memphis, ruling that the state’s use of troops is likely unlawful. The judge wrote that “no rebellion or invasion” is taking place that would warrant the deployment of troops.

Republicans are the problem. They enacted massive cuts to health care and food assistance while also giving massive tax giveaways to billionaires and wealthy corporations. Not shocking—this is their brand. Just extremely disappointing.

“ At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar a Lago, believing she had secured a dream summer position. But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghislaine Maxwell preyed upon her…. They trafficked her”

Asked whether there is anything incriminating in the Epstein files, Trump responds by telling a female reporter to be "quiet" and seemingly calling her "piggy." This is not how an innocent man behaves. Trump cannot hide his misogyny even for his own benefit.

The Trump administration intensified its pressure campaign against Venezuela on Sunday by placing an aircraft carrier in the Caribbean, announcing that it would designate a Venezuelan group as a foreign terrorist organization.

Since his return to the White House, Trump has made it clear suppressing votes is a top priority — and he’s stacked his administration with election deniers who are leading the charge. Here are some of the top figures working to disenfranchise voters👇 https://bit.ly/3LKeRz6

The U.S. military on Saturday killed another three people accused by the Trump administration of smuggling drugs by sea, according to the U.S. Southern Command, bringing the known death toll from the campaign to at least 83 since early September.

Donald Trump says the House Oversight Committee should get all files it is "legally entitled to." That phrase is critical. I suspect he will use that phrase to block most of the files not already release now that he has re-opened an investigation into Jeffry Epstein.
