Trump really isn’t controlling much of anything at this point.

What you’re seeing is the Stephen Miller agenda.

If Trump’s loses the tariffs case at the Supreme Court, we have to pay those tariffs back WITH INTEREST

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “UNCONSCIONABLE. How is this even on the floor??”

AOC trashes @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s obscene money grab, stealing millions from taxpayers directly into their own pockets for being investigated in relation to Trump’s attempt to end 🇺🇸 democracy.

NEWS: White House held Epstein crisis meetings in the building’s most secure facility — the Situation Room.

Trump says there’s “nothing to hide.”

But I’ll tell you from experience… the only reason you hold SitRoom meetings IS when there’s something to hide.

MUST READ: White House "emergency" Epstein meetings held in secret facility

“Before he was elected in 2016, Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by the pu**y and barging into rooms of partially dressed young pageant contestants. A jury concluded he assaulted E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room. So nothing that’s in the Epstein emails is a surprise. It’s confirmation.”

Just read a substack post by Stephanie Jones:
The ACA subsidies are set to expire in Dec. if Congress takes no action. If Dems keep refusing to capitulate into Dec., they get nothing. By agreeing to a vote, they force the Repubs to go on record as voting for ending the subsidies. Touché! #shutdown

Democrats have ample material to make the case that the sole governing principle of Republicans is to hurt people. They threatened to starve kids, they're sending healthcare costs through the roof, and they're doing this all while funneling billions of dollars to ICE so they can kidnap people.

And specifically to counter the Thurgood Marshall adage "Do what you think is right and let the law catch up"
Gentle reminder that the idea that SCOTUS and appellate judges can only follow what the law is and not what the law should be is conservative propaganda from the 1970s and 1980s created by the Federalist Society in response to the civil rights decisions of the Warren Court.

This photo says it all. Any other former president, no matter their politics, would also be next to that person. The man has zero compassion for anyone other than himself.
incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

It’s been Russia’s and the far-right’s play book to divide us and it’s worked successfully. The damage is done.
THE HARDEST CONVERSATIONS ARE THE ONES DEMOCRACY NEEDS MOST

1 in 5 Americans has ended a relationship with a friend or family member due to political differences. 2 in 3 actively avoid political conversations with coworkers, friends, or family.

Let that sink in.

More amazing news!

In a historic move, New Mexico just became the first state in America to guarantee free, universal child care for all residents. 🩵

Families win, kids thrive, and the economy grows.

Now let’s get the entire U.S. to follow suit.

Discussing with my Gen Z daughter the successes in yesterday’s election, especially the turnout of Gen Z, she said something to the effect of “Our generation is tired of old white men deciding our future. And we crave community more than ever. We want more opportunities to get off our phones.”

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings and sexual assaults in several states, warns an FBI bulletin to law enforcement agencies issued last month.

The bulletin urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

These are the kinds of posts and comments I’m here for. 😆
Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.
