I know my odds of winning the Powerball are lower than the odds of being hit by lightning while being struck by a bus driven by Bigfoot, but they’re still better than Congress doing its job.

He's taken 3 cognitive tests, huh. Declares it himself, proudly. And, here I am thinking 3 cognitive tests? Their monitoring his decline. He should release all 3 since he's so proud. Bet it would be a progressive show of decline from one to the next to the next. And he's president. Just nuts.

This $12 billion one time payment to farmers is infuriating to me. Most farmers voted for the guy who threw down tariffs that hurt the farmers, and now the answer is for the rest of us to cough up the funds to reward poor decisions ONCE AGAIN with a $12 billion one time payment? Stop this insanity!

My mom fell last night. I sat with my dad (dementia) while she was at hospital. Fox news was on in the background. Hearing them explain why Biden was sleepy Joe & Trump takes necessary naps during meetings because he's so good at his job was absolutely insane. Nuts. Mom is ok. America is broken.

With the deals/pardons/asylum he's providing to drug dealers/families of drug dealers, is it just me or does it look like Trump wants a cut of the drug game? How else do you make sense of what he's doing?

Don’t care how Admiral Bradley has been perceived during his military career, if he called for the second strike himself, he’s to be charged, if he’s following the order of drunken Petey, they both need charged, why anybody would know the laws of war yet risk their reputation is beyond me!

Hi. If you are a Democrat taking anything else out of tonight’s results in TN other than it’s a big hopeful sign and we should all be working our asses off to recruit in all of the House seats we can then I have no time for you. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

My prediction. The Epstein files will not be released. They will be leaked. By a woman as there are no brave men left.

Behn voters, don't be discouraged with tonight's outcome. A red state heavily dependent on ACA and food stamps who vote against their interest still have much to learn. And they will as Trump and Matt Van Epps continue to fleece them as long as they allow it. Until then, keep up the good fight!

Nothing in me believes Behn can pull the upset in Tennessee, but if ever I'm wrong... I can live with it. Happily. Still, this is a strong showing and should be another signal to Republicans that we are coming in droves.

Military members, take note how their Sec. of Defense & President are pointing fingers at Admiral Bradley. THIS is why Mark Kelly and others are reminding you, you CAN and SHOULD disobey illegal orders! Because they guys above you are going to throw you under the bus!

Data center sounds like it's coming to our little city & the power company here will, of course, raise rates exponentially for consumers. Why don't these data centers have to carry the increase in cost. Residents can't afford their gluttony. Bill the Elons of the world. Leave us out of it.

Take note. Everything rage chicken Trump does sets precedent for any incoming president to use against him. And when he cries foul the courts can look at his own actions that were never held accountable.

It's terrible 2 National Guard members were killed today. But why is no one in the media pointing out that when Trump opted to use them as a political stunt to intimidate and show HIS perception of control in American cities unnecessarily - something like this was increasingly likely to happen?

If nothing else, Trump has exposed how insanely cowardly and unjust our justice system is.

In your Thanksgiving travels, especially if you fly, I hope you choose pajamas as your travel attire. :)

Has the University of Oklahoma had any comment on one of their professors being detained by ICE? I haven't run across anything yet. You'd *think* they'd stand up for him? No?

Mullin dropped to his knees so fast on January 6, 2021 when his own team assaulted the Capitol. Brother isn't leading any breach and most certainly won't be exposing himself to enemy fire. He'll be too busy peeing his pants and ducking friendly fire. What an idiot.

There's gotta be more to the story behind this Marjorie Taylor Greene resignation. Forced out?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Once this all over... and eventually, it will be over, and those in Trump's orbit are prosecuted for the infinite number of crimes they have and are committing under Trump's direction - I do hope their fortunes are stripped from them and used to pay off some of the US debt. That seems appropriate.

Someday, Trump won't be President. The stench of his presidency will live long beyond his life. Every business leader who is openly groveling at his feet now should never be given the grace to hold audience with any upcoming administration. Give rise to competitors, let the old guard die with Trump.

Moving forward - my new response “quiet piggy” to all MAGA at all times.

😬

If Trump actually signs for the release of the Epstein files (I'll believe it when I see it), and upon that release those in the know find pertinent information has been scrubbed, I hope whistleblower's rain down with the fury of hells gates, one after another, non-stop until judgement comes!

Here's the thing. Trump signaling Republicans should vote yes on releasing Epstein files indicates he thinks there has been a fix. What he's not considering is 2 things: Leaks from within. (I believe we've reached the point those will come) and Victims naming names b/c what do they have to lose?

How long before Marjory Taylor Greene connects the dots that the reason Trump opposes releasing the Epstein files is because they implicate him. She seems to be a little short in that connection. Will the lightbulb ever come on?

Imagine Lauren Boebert in the situation room surrounded by Trump, Bondi, Todd Blanche and others trying to get her to vote against the Epstein files release and she suddenly realizes she's neck deep in a pedophile cabal cover up.

If there was anyone (there is no one) who thought Republicans weren't in full cahoots in a coverup of Trump/Epstein crimes, there should be no doubt now. Trump scrambling to flip Boebert and Mace. Whether they do or not, his actions scream guilty!

We buy groceries for two households. Ours and my parents. Do not tell me prices are dropping. We spend way more now than ever before - for the same products. And honestly, it's almost beyond our ability. But we do it because it IS beyond my parent's ability.

Trump bragging that he broke democrats over Senate shut down vote and I'm sitting here thinking, "Is self combustion really something you can take credit for?" I don't know that the answer is yes, but he is Trump and democrats hold wins like they're dropping hot potatoes.

All I want for Christmas are Democrats to grow a spine and fight back. All of them. And Schumer to go away.

Keep it simple. Since @schumer.senate.gov, @hassan.senate.gov, @kaine.senate.gov, @fetterman.senate.gov, @durbin.senate.gov, @cortezmasto.senate.gov, @senangusking.bsky.social, & @rosen.senate.gov won't hold hold the line, let's not keep giving them power. Shaheens on way out. Schumer allowed it.

Many aren't running again, so there was no lesson to learn. Time to build the party we want. The primaries are coming.

Any D running for Senate in 2026 must vow to oust Schumer as leader. Maybe he would quit

I mean, seriously, if you're going to fold on a promise, why not just do that bs from day one instead of letting people suffer for over a month. Good grief. The absurdity. All for naught. @democrats.senate.gov

These 8 Senators - Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, King, Rosen & Shaheen - just bet ACA on a promise from scammers when THEY had the advantage! You good with that America?

The DNC Chair stands with House Dems to block this deal. As always, it's feckless leadership and cowardice in the Senate that fucks everything up.

Mike Johnson just said he made no promises about insurance subsidies. So there you go the people are screwed. Expect your premiums to double or triple.

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Hey @democrats.senate.gov, did they pinky swear? What exactly did you achieve with an empty promise from the most fraudulent Republican party in the nation's history to end the #shutdown? Morons. Every last one of you who have folded for nothing.

Instead of standing with the poor, farmers, children, and Americans needing healthcare, tonight the @democrats.senate.gov are standing arm-in-arm w/Trump and the Billionaires and ending the Trump Shutdown on Trump’s terms. This is the Democrat’s thanks for election night? #weak #gutless #worthless

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

Every single Senate Dem who folds on a BS promise from the very party who is incapable of telling the truth, or holding to a promise, is as culpable as Republicans in screwing Americans over in the long run. We understood the assignment of sacrifice. You are stopping before the goal line.

I truly thought Trump was the most prolific liar I've ever heard, but Lil Mike Johnson is giving him a run for his money.

One thing I don't think Republicans ever considered as a motivating factor for voters, and it's not the most important factor, but it's very real ... is chaos fatigue. We're just done with the chaos.

Seeing several big name democrats leaving out Mamdani in their congratulatory posts tonight. Not cool. The alternative was Cuomo, Trump endorsed BTW. And you still can't congratulate Mamdani? That speaks volumes.
