JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Russia failed to conquer Ukraine. So Trump is handing Putin what he couldn’t win on the battlefield. Territory. Limits on Ukraine’s military. And $300B in assets. Shameful. Dangerous. Unacceptable. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Rural America trusted Trump to bring prosperity. Instead they got tariffs, labor shortages, shuttered hospitals, frozen energy projects, and falling crop prices. His support in GOP strongholds appears to be collapsing. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

When buying a house is unattainable and jobs are disappearing, it's no surprise young people think they can’t succeed, especially young men. It's not their fault. It’s Washington’s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.

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

Give not a millimeter to Russia. Not a single grain of Ukrainian soil.

I know that his time in office will end someday but he’s ruining so many lives. And, by extension, he’s responsible for countless deaths, too

Keep in mind: Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and exempted Russia

I have not forgotten about the Epstein files. Have you?

Borrowed because he’s distracting attention away from the Epstein Files.

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

Absofuckinglutely 💯.......

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words: “Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.” That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Potential whistleblowers who have seen the unredacted Epstein files: it's time to do the right thing. These last few weeks you've had all the political cover and momentum you could ask for, but the country has a short attention span and holidays are here. Make history and share what you know.

Worth Repeating!

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement. "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

60 Minutes just reminded us that Putin is a war criminal and all I could think of while watching that is remembering how our president embraced him like a hero. It’s disgusting how far we have fallen.

Trump is a failure of a president, the Ukraine “negotiation” proves this. But how pathetic is he? A 5 year old boy in the body of an 80 year old trying to still win his dads affection.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said. Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

Bono on Donald Trump: “America is the best idea the world ever came up with. But Donald Trump is potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America. He’s trying to hijack the idea of America. Wise people of conscience should not let this man turn your country into a casino”

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

❤️❤️❤️

Always keep in mind to count your blessings!! #USDemocracy

"Quiet, piggy!"

It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

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."

This is probably right!

Traitors. 👇🏻
