We will hear Donald Trump and #Republicans co-opting #VeteransDay.
Remember who cut SNAP, cut #Medicaid for Veterans, used the military as props in Los Angeles and for Trump’s birthday parade, and illegally orders them to kill alleged drug dealers at sea.
Let’s remember our Oath. Trump doesn’t.

In a world where the incumbent president bowed to pressure and stepped aside, it doesn’t seem like such a monumental ask to switch minority leaders.

Trump Finally Meets A Problem His Lies Cannot Overcome: Rising Grocery Prices

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

I spoke to my Republican colleagues and am very pleased to report that I’ve secured a promise to consider thinking about a non-binding vote. What’s that you ask? A vote for what? Oh they assured me we can work that out as soon as I give up all my leverage.

None of these people grocery shop.. they have personal shoppers, valets, chauffeurs, nannies, errand runners, body guards. That's why they smirk, chuckle and roll their eyes at the people's real pain.
COLLINS: When Trump says grocery prices are down, what numbers is he basing that off given it's not true?
HASSETT: Inflation is down
C: But grocery prices are up
H: Not everything. Egg prices are down. Why haven't you covered egg prices?
C: We certainly have. But grocery prices are up about 1.4%

In a functional party system, this kind of capitulation in the face of authoritarianism could mean the end of the Democratic Party.
In our system, it could mean the end of the two party system. Neither party can represent the pro-democracy majority. It's time for something new.
