As I was saying…

Two Step Peace Plan: Step one: leave. Step two: leave faster.

The Trump surrender of Ukraine descends into utter chaos. But “chaos” is too mellow a word: What we have here is a rich bouillabaisse of incompetence, mendacity, tragedy, farce, and diplomatic blunder. Words have a hard time keeping up with the story. But we’ll try. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Started, going Nebraska-Trump edition

A real President ………. Sixty-two years ago today, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was shot while riding in an open-top car and died later at Parkland Hospital. The event, which occurred at 12:30 p.m. CST, was a moment of national tragedy.

Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson. He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue. He would be an excellent counter-Leavitt. And we NEED one. He should be holding regular press conferences and putting

“I’ve got the best poll numbers I’ve ever had! Red hot!!!”

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

The Art of the Deal. [Cartoon by Dennis Goris]

Sen. Mark Kelly is spelling it out. Illegal orders CAN be refused and MUST be refused. Trump already asked if the military could shoot protesters in the legs. That is who he is. He is a danger to this country.

Only if you consider the ocean a border... But, Trump & his dog killing Homeland Security Secretary don't care about these technicalities. They're lawless! #ICELawlessness is shockingly evil! Here's a video that you can share with MAGA to illustrate the sheer wickedness.

"I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys." That's what the #ICE agent who rammed US Citizen, Miramar Martinez & shot her 5 times. Then ICE lied & said she rammed them. #ICELawlessness abounds. If it can happen to them, it can happen to you! So speak out & share! Link⬇️

It’s a pattern. Nov 14, aboard Air Force One, Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, “Quiet. Quiet, piggy.” It’s not new. He called Miss Universe Alicia Machado “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.” He’s called women “fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs,” and “disgusting animals.” This from 2016…

There's no doubt Trump is a pedophile. Pam Bondi admitted he's named in the files. If Trump were innocent, he would have released the Epstein files himself a long time ago. The End. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott. From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

damn -- Jason Crow demolished Martha MacCallum to the point where she had to get extremely defensive before wrapping up the interview

As Trump ramps up his ICE raids in Charlotte, North Carolina, more than 30,000 students across the county reportedly did not attend school on Monday. This isn't about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

Seems like nosferatu wants the troops to follow unlawful orders.

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

🎯🎯🎯 #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles

Who does this benefit other than the major airline CEOs?

Massie: "There are a thousand survivors. They can't open enough investigations to cover up everything that's in these files."

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.

America overwhelmingly supports the survivors’ demand for complete disclosure of what the government knows about the billion-dollar Epstein global trafficking ring. Stop the excuses and deflections—release the file.

The court issues a scathing ruling today in the Comey case. Judge William Fitzpatrick notes, among other things, that Lindsey Halligan made two false statements of the law when responding to questions by grand jurors. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

President of what Cancun

Chris Murphy: "He wouldn't be going through all of this effort to try to stop the release of these files if he wasn't seriously implicated in those files. This is most likely the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the country. We know that b/c Trump is going to these extraordinary lengths"

I am fourteen going on fifteen Innocent as a rose Pedophile pesters, creepy molesters What do I know of those? Totally unprepared am I To face a world of shame Timid and shy and scared am I Of things that aren’t my blame I had a creep, older, not wiser 'Cause Megyn Kelly said I'm fair game

Senile Satan may be in for a surprise at the next State of the Union.

Blue!💙

"I've known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." --Donald Trump in 2002 to New York magazine.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump have had a falling out over Jeffrey Epstein. If he's lost Marge, Donald is in real trouble over the Epstein Files.

🤬🤬

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms: ✅He personally directs criminal investigations. ✅He is targeting opponents. ✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents. Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

That part‼️

I bet he stayed up all night composing this

ALERT: Federal judge says she’ll rule “before Thanksgiving” on whether to dismiss James Comey and Letitia James criminal cases After 80 minutes, arguments are complete. Hearing is wrapped

Garcia: "If the president has nothing to hide, then all we want is for them to release the full files."

My deepest gratitude to each and every veteran. Thank you.
