Seems @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn are hiding behind leader Thune, claiming he’s the one who snuck in a provision letting them sue the government for $500,000 for investigating their possible role in Trump’s attempt to overthrow the government. 🤔 www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Sean Duffy’s been telling us for months that we have a critical shortage of air traffic controllers in this country which is causing serious safety issues in air travel, then Trump comes out today & calls them a bunch of traitors if they took a day off & encourages them to quit.

Today in history, 1898: After voters elect a biracial city council in Wilmington, N.C., a mob of white supremacists overthrows the local government in a coup d’état. The mob also killed as many as 300 black residents in what is known as the Wilmington Massacre. /1

An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.
