The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and it is now clear to me that the President of the United States is a pedophile. But at least I know that the Cracker Barrel logo won't be changed any time soon.

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I have been loudly, persistently anti-Trump since the beginning. And tonight's election results just make me more sure: *there are more of us than there are of them* A good hard look at Trumpism in action has made that impossible to ignore.
Let's take this country back, and let's make it better.

Just watched an old episode of “Columbo” where Jose Ferrer killed a ‘think tank’ medicinal chemist. This chemist had a lab set-up in his garage(!) and samples of heroin stored in a kitchen canister labeled “C21H23NO5 “ (!!).
Wow. I’ve been doing chemistry wrong all these years.

"Can Donald Trump run for a 3rd term?"
No.
"What if he..."
Still no.
"How about..."
STFU, No.
"Then why are we talking about it!?"
Because evil MAGA apparatchiks need you to fear that he will.

Why Has Trump Been Flirting With a Third Term?
Trump cannot be president again. But he and his loyal followers have every reason for wanting to make people think he can.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Yay, science!
GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

But when we ask to help our own citizens pay for health insurance they shut down the whole government
The Trump administration just ordered two Gulfstream luxury private jets for Kristi Noem at a cost of over $172 million.
This comes as Americans can barely afford groceries.

Hey, don’t worry! I’m sure that our head of HHS and our CDC are on top of this.
Antimicrobial resistance is responsible for some 1.2 million deaths a year a year and contributes to millions more. Data in the new report shows that the problem is growing at an alarming rate. n.pr/3J0HVBC
