Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.” Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.” Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

apple.news/AbHFYPUruSgW... Yep we have a toddler running/ruining our country! 😠

Koh: I think what we are seeing is what the founding fathers feared the most, which is the collapse of our checks and balances. The Supreme court is supposed to be a co-equal branch of government. It's basically a mouthpiece for Donald Trump at this point.

Did you know Trump has added 2.2 trillion to the national debt since taking office 10 months ago?

If the US can do whatever it wants to whomever it wants with no regard for human rights, the Geneva Convention, US law, the UCMJ, or international law, then we are no different than Vladimir Putin and Russia, who I suppose was the role model for Trump foreign policy doctrine.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.

GAS PRICES RISE: The national average price for regular gas stood at $3.055 on Tuesday, almost exactly the same as $3.056 a year ago under former President Biden, according to AAA. ⛽️

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

It’s incredible how easily these people just… lie. For no reason. Then when they get caught lying, they’re like well obviously tariffs were going to raise prices.

Coons: "Trump ran on lowering costs, making America health again, & avoiding new foreign wars. He's broken the first, broken the second, & seems to be sleepwalking into breaking the third. It's causing concern not just throughout Congress, but in the MAGA base that Trump is marching us toward war."

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people. They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

Mike Johnson is going to let Trump do literally whatever he wants. Trump could bang Mike Johnson’s wife on camera and Mike would just sit in the cuck chair like a good little boy.

Cruelty really is the point. Who else would go to court begging for permission to starve their own citizens? Meanwhile, they send $40 billion to Argentina, buying two private jets for ICE “Barbie,” and Trump has already burned through $1 trillion in less than two months.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES !

Dems need to start talking more about how Trump’s dementia means that he can’t distinguish his fantasies from reality. He has completely lost touch with the real world and only knows what his sycophantic courtiers are telling him.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Trump does not even have a nub of a brain left. He is completely gone into his own demented fan fiction self-insert AU story with basically no reference to the real world.

i know why reporters feel like they have to do this, but it's honestly kinda nuts to ask Trump at this late date for evidence backing up his lies about "rigged elections" when he obviously has none and never will

This is insane. The Trump Administration is trying to get in the way of businesses having compassion for their own customers. The cruelty IS THE POINT.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Trump promised he would “cut the price of energy and electricity in half” by the start of 2026. But since January, average utility prices have gone up by 11% nationally and there's no end in sight. It begs the question, just what the hell is America First anyhow?

The GOP campaigned on "We are better at government than the Democrats" Enough voters believed them and gave them the keys to the government. And now its "Its all Democrats' fault that we suck at governing"

Ryan Zinke was Trump’s Secretary of the Interior during his first term

The majority of Republican-led states, such as Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Nebraska, are NOT suing Trump for not funding SNAP. Where as 25 Democratic states are. As always, blue states care more for their constituents. 🔄

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.

This guy holds grudges and constantly talks about how he was slighted by the tiniest inconvenience but never mentions the guy who supposedly shot his ear? 🤔

You can literally watch Reagan’s words side-by-side with Canada’s ad. They didn’t misrepresent anything. Trump is lying. Again. As usual.

Vote them all out of office they don’t deserve their positions

Trump: “I fixed inflation” Reality:

Inflation has risen for six months in a row.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

How scary that he didn't even know about this?!?

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

Senate is back in session today. 1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown. You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

Trump has never sounded guiltier than this and that's a high bar

Today’s Thought…

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

We don't need your fu*king protection whatever the fu*k your name is today.

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

Our mainstream media is pathetically feckless.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

If a full accounting of Epstein’s crimes - and his accomplices - is ever made public, people on the left and the right are going to feel really dumb that we’ve been arguing with each other while the elites of both parties pal around and do abhorrent shit.
