BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.
She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Stupid act of capitulation. Some “blue wave” ….
agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

There has never been a stupider political party in American history than the Democrats. Maybe not in the history of democracy, anywhere.
We absolutely need a new opposition party.
How do you fold, get nothing, and let health costs explode *mere days after winning a tremendous election victory?*

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party.
They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word.
Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

BREAKING: Trump says that Every American, who isn't a High Income earner, will get $2000 in Cash.
In other words he wants to issue a stimulus check because the economy is sucking.

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced

I doubt the cult obsession would transfer to Vance, who’s widely mocked and has the personality of a wet sponge. The effect on MAGA would be the same as when you interrupt a trail of ants with a little spritz of Raid: confused fragmentation and dispersal.

Somehow Schumer has managed to get the Republicans to the edge of a field of rakes, pointed out how to avoid it, and their plan is to confidently walk right into the middle of the field.
So to cap their horrible week, Senate Republicans refused a deal to reopen the government in exchange for just helping people with health insurance and now the president wants the Supreme Court to say he doesn’t have to obey the law and feed the hungry.
Amazing.
