Mark Kelly: "We have a president who doesn't understand the Constitution, who installed an unqualified secretary of defense. I cannot think of a secretary of defense in the history of our country that is less qualified than Pete Hegseth. He should've been fired after Signal-gate."

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Trump has trampled the Constitution, trashed the economy, and ceded the next century to China. Someone in my replies on Bluesky used the word "Latinx". I have never felt more politically homeless.

Steve Witkoff isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin and prolonging the war www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Donald: Affordability is a state of mind.

Thanks, Donald.

Donald lies.

Where does Joe Biden go for his apology?

I guess Joe Biden wasn't that bad.

You'd think people would learn.

JUST IN: Judge Chutkan orders expedited processing of a FOIA request for files related to DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

And it’s the responsibility of everyone else who isn’t Jewish, like me & others, who cares about this, to be a visible & vocal ally for American Jews. & those of us in academia arguably have a particular responsibility to do so given the antisemitism on the left in academia

“The ‘conflictedly connected’ American Jews ought to have far greater political representation than they currently do. Drowned out by bellicosity on the right and ostracized by some would-be allies among progressives, a large plurality of American Jews have effectively been rendered invisible.”

If the government won't bail out my crypto losses, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

The President is calling for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged. This is deplorable, un-American, & an open invitation to political violence. Servicemembers take their oath to the Constitution, not to any president. I stand with my colleagues who have honorably served this nation.

But egg prices are down.

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.

WINNING.

Howdy.

Donald Trump’s presidency hinges on loyalty, which depends on the perception of power. As a lame duck, that perception is already eroding — and the Epstein scandal is now accelerating it.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Yes.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

Steve Bannon may be losing a shirt or two over the drip-drip of emails.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

This makes me angry.

Sign the discharge petition.

Ding-a-Ling-a-Ling! It’s your self-own calling!

You gotta take the good with the bad, I guess.

You can't blame this on Joe Biden.

Adelita Grijalva to be sworn in tomorrow at 4 p.m.

We know.

Please tell your eight colleagues this.

This sounds like the start of a conversation to put Paw Paw in an assisted living center.

Of course she is.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.

My statement on the spending legislation and Republican healthcare crisis.

This “deal” is nothing more than an empty promise from the same people who just passed the largest cut to health care in our nation’s history.

As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

Looking at the GOP acting electorally suicidally and saying “they’re not acting like they’re planning on having elections” is like watching someone driving 90mph at a brick wall and being like “wow they must have figured out a way for this not to kill them.”

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.
