Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Wow -- Russia reportedly plotted last year to plant bombs on US-bound flights (gift link) giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Jeffries calls for video of the September 2 boat strikes to be released and asks, "if Hegseth and the administration think their actions are justifiable, what are they hiding from the American people?"

When given a choice between the oligarch class (like chip makers who want to sell to China) & the long-term security of the US & national interest as a whole, Trump ALWAYS chooses oligarchs because everything he does as president is for them. If only his supporters could see it.

Statement from the House Select Committee on China, chaired by Republican Rep. John Moolenaar. Trump is selling us out to a foreign country. Again.

Trump is letting NVIDIA export cutting-edge AI chips that his own DOJ revealed are being illegally smuggled into China. His own DOJ called these chips "building blocks of AI superiority." Trump and Lutnick need to answer to Congress on why they are selling out US security.

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

Indiana Republicans are under significant pressure to do something they know is wrong: rig the maps and silence voters. Washington Republicans are demanding a "9–0 map." That’s not democracy - that’s cheating. They know it, and they’re ashamed, which is why they’re hesitating.

We have an incredible opportunity in Miami today to flip the mayoral seat for the first time in nearly 30 years! If you live in Miami, get out and vote for Eileen Higgins before polls close at 7pm. Find your polling place at IWillVote.com.

Welcome back Soldier Boy

Wouldn’t have dropped out of science if the lab looked like this

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected. Small businesses were the hardest hit.

Republicans’ new bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship would impact Melania and Barron Trump. They are both citizens of Slovenia.

You just know Trump still has that medal on.

Trump is mad one person stepped out of line on Fox and told the truth.

1 million acres of pristine public land in Alaska will now be open to fossil fuel drilling, thanks to Republicans in Congress. Big Oil spent nearly $500 million lobbying and boosting friendly candidates last year — and now they're getting a big return on their investment.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic. Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Strong public pushback leads to failure of small #Florida town council's effort to put up a memorial marker for Charlie Kirk. www.theledger.com/story/news/l...

Todd Blanche is now warning lawyers who criticize Trump's Justice Department: The DOJ's No. 2 official suggested that lawyers might have a harder time winning lenient treatment for corporate clients if they've publicly accused the Trump administration of being lax on white-collar crime.

Breaking: FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Federal judge orders unsealing of grand jury transcripts from abandoned Jeffrey Epstein investigation in Florida.

This is totalitarianism. Not rule of law democracy. And everyone who excused thus is potentially signing this nation’s death warrant.

No one in America has done more to incite political violence than Donald Trump. And it’s not close.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence. We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

Release the Epstein files.

It's been over two weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen. Help us move the needle!

“What have I done!” 🤡

#Trump pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid— It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market

The Epstein files should have already been released.

Can't wait to see Soldier Boy again

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

There is no clearer justification for the video put out by 6 Democrats to not follow unlawful orders than this.

Trump’s insults, tantrums, and threats have exploded. He’s losing control over what he says, descending into angry, venomous, often dangerous territory. A filterless president who says anything that comes into his head poses a unique danger. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/age-and-inhibition

Sens. Tim Kaine, Rand Paul, Chuck Schumer, and Adam Schiff have filed a War Powers Resolution to block the use of the U.S. Armed Forces to engage in hostilities within or against Venezuela unless authorized by Congress.

Mike Johnson is set to swear in Republican Matt Van Epps about 36 hours after he won his election. It took Johnson 50 days to swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

The New York Times has sued Trump's Defense Department over First Amendment rights — arguing in a lawsuit that new reporting restrictions infringed on the constitutional rights of journalists.

Pinning the blame on Admiral Bradley - when Hegseth gave the order to kill everyone - is a gross abdication of leadership. He's not qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.

An update on the fight over health insurance premiums: Republicans have basically stopped negotiating. Trump is more focused on his ballroom than these cost hikes. Later this month, Senate Democrats will force a vote on this - one last chance for GOP to do the right thing.

The pardons Trump is handing out are a huge, growing scandal that not enough people are talking about. This is a money making operation - for for Trump, his family, his crypto pals, and the Trump-affiliated lobbyists and grifters who the pardon seekers pay.

Rand Paul: "Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Trump reposted content from 16 accounts last night that turned out to be from foreign-based ‘MAGA’ users. meidasnews.com/news/trump-r...

NEW: Trump just argued that Jack Smith's final report — chronicling the criminal case against him for hoarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago — should never be made public. Trump urged Aileen Cannon in a new court filing to permanently extend her order blocking DOJ from releasing the report.
