Trump on affordability: "The word they use is a hoax because they're the ones that caused the problem. It's a hoax."

Reporter: Has Hegeth told you why he hasn’t released the video of the second strike? Trump: I thought that issue was dead, you must be CNN. Are you CNN? Reporter: I am Trump: You know you work for the Democrats? You're basically an arm of the Democrat party.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

So much easier to just use the U.S. military to steal from other countries than to actually earn it or make deals, amirite? Thanks, John Roberts, for unleashing this lifelong criminal.

JUST NOW: Trump now openly says he is trying to force CNN into the hands of his allies to stop the network from criticizing him. 🇺🇸 Welcome to authoritarianism. ‘1984’ is here. (Imagine Biden saying this about Fox)

The President of the United States just called the Chairman of the Federal Reserve a "deadhead fed hair" and no one in the room had any f*cking clue what he was talking about or whether he just had a stroke

Trump has made America a place people are afraid of. A place people don’t like. A place that’s cruel. So people aren’t coming here. Even for vacation. Well done MAGA.

LYING: It's the Lord's work!

The Fed just cut rates by a quarter of a percentage point. The revised statement is remarkably buttoned down, probably due to the shutdown-inflicted data blackout. And we are now up to three dissents - one for lower rates, and two for no change. But the committee is more deeply divided than that.

@mikaelthalen.bsky.social got Whiskey Pete Hegseth's new AI to confirm that his boat strikes are illegal. san.com/cc/the-milit...

Breaking news!!!!! 😂

Breaking: Donald Trump ends Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, raising costs on millions of Americans.

We spell D.O.G.E. — O.D.I. Long before there was D.O.G.E., California was already streamlining government to be more efficient, responsive, and accountable.

Powell: "Conditions in the labor market appear to be gradually cooling, and inflation remains somewhat elevated."

Call Russia's recent drone strike on Chernobyl exactly what it is – a dirty bomb.

Powell: "In the near term, risks to inflation are tilted to the upside, and risks to unemployment to the downside -- a challenging situation. There is no risk free path for policy as we navigate this tension between our employment and inflation goals."

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

California is a majority-minority state. Our strength is defined by diversity.

Rep. Randy Fine defends Trump's gutter racist rants about Somalis: "Not all cultures are equal ... the president speaks in language that Americans understand."

While Trump is threatening the ICC with sanctions if they prosecute him for war crimes, here is another one of his pardoned thugs. Banuelos was just charged with kidnapping and sexual assault after DNA collected during the Jan. 6 prosecutions was matched with a cold case in Utah.

Is it just me, but isn’t our President a whopping piece of shit?

Imagine risking everything for your country… only to be met with violence from ICE. Brutalized by the very government you served. George Retes deserved better. America deserves better. 💔

So the asshole and his team of racists is now charging people who are kidnapped by ICE a $5000 ransom to be let go. This is straight up extortion. I cannot wait for this shit to go to court. We live amongst the worst humans on this planet who rejoice at the suffering of their neighbors

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water. AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects. So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends. See how this works?

In what universe would an innocent man threaten the ICC?

Lutnick on the $1 million Trump Gold Card: "It's a gift to the United States of America to help America be great again under Donald Trump."

Visitors to Trump's America are supposed to hand over five years of social media history before they're given extended access? Another data point for the devolving pariah state.

NEWS: Trump officials are worried the ICC may try to prosecute them for war crimes once Trump's term ends, and are threatening sanctions against the ICC to change its founding document to grant them immunity. (via Reuters / link in reply)

So they *are* able to stop a ship in international waters and seize control of it without killing everyone on board? Huh.

it's fake investment numbers time at the White House

“I’m NOT sleeping. I’m memorizing the animal crackers for my next cognitive exam.”

Christmas shopping is finished. ☑️

Kyle Rittenhouse got married.

THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE SKIPPED A GANG OF EIGHT MEETING????!!!!

BIG NEWS: VoteVets has endorsed Fred Wellman for Congress in the MO-02 election

As many are pointing out - the (white) countries he lists have universal health care, strong unions, a real social safety net, etc… why would they come here? More on their “cuddly capitalism”: www.lifeinnorway.net/scandinavian...

I have never in my life seen a happier widow. It takes me longer to get over a break up.

🔥 @emmavigeland.bsky.social : “I’m a believer in MEDICARE FOR ALL. The ACA expanded coverage but didn’t solve everything, we need a single-payer system. (Also: Trump covered up the Epstein files, listen to Republican women in Congress when they say this administration doesn’t respect women)”

Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

Trump veers off-message in economic speech, calls affordability a ‘hoax’ It was 15 minutes into his Pennsylvania address before Trump first uttered the word “affordable” — and it wasn’t long before he began railing against the concept entirely.

There are good people in this country, people who stand up for their neighbors & put their bodies on the line. Don't forget that. Good people stand against #ICELawlessness. Be inspired by that. As ICE thugs round up, brutalize & torture our fellow Americans, do or say something! Don't be complicit.

Good morning everyone Once again Donnie Two Dolls comes through Picture yourself in that casino and you cheer on that old deranged man He tells you the economy is great ! They cheer Then he tells get only two dolls & two pencils Then they go & spend $20 for a burger America, PLEASE NO

Such a gift

Isn't it funny how when Trump bails out farmers for the second time because of his stupid tariffs, Republicans won't go on Fox News to rant and rave about the evils of socialism? #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

I think one of the broadcast networks should make @timmiller.bsky.social their principal nightly news anchor because he would bring back 1970s levels of ratings to the biz

Rep. Keith Self on the economy: "Let's just give it a few more months. We're starting to see the green chutes of it. It's going to explode soon."

This keeps happening.

CNBC's Joe Kernen says Mike Johnson is refusing to go on his show until he has a healthcare plan (don't hold your breath!)
