Every journalist carries a responsibility — not to a party, not to a headline, but to the people. I’ve seen how bias can bend the truth and how spin can bury it. I refuse to play that game.

House Speaker Mike Johnson will swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva tomorrow at 4 p.m. ET, his office says.

The Senate is voting right now on the deal to reopen the government. This is just a procedural motion.

On Truth Social, President Trump says he wants to kill the filibuster to reopen the government but adds “as a small example”, also pass Voter ID.

It doesn’t matter how much President Trump or Karoline Leavitt don’t want to speak on affordability, the facts are simple: Prices are rising and Americans are feeling it.
Prices on Amazon, Walmart and Target have all increased this year as retailers grapple with higher costs due to tariffs.

Because third-party sellers are more vulnerable to tariffs, marketplace vendors often have no choice but to pass higher costs onto the shopper.
Retailers are raising prices to meet tariffs. Amazon is hiking more than others

Speaking on the Senate floor, @schumer.senate.gov says Democrats will vote to reopen the government in exchange for a one year extension to the ACA subsidies.

Important note: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and Speaker Mike Johnson are opposed to a one year extension.

No one can believe it because it’s a lie
Trump on the war in Ukraine: “Biden actually pushed for that war to happen. If you can believe it, nobody can believe it.”

President Trump once again calls to terminate the filibuster: If the filibuster is terminated, we will have the most productive three years in the history of our country. If the filibuster is not terminated, then we will be in a slog with the Democrats.”

Republicans do NOT support Trump on this.

"Affordability was a con job by the Democrats."

Affordability is a real thing and Democrats are likely downloading this soundbite right now.
Trump: "They said, oh, I don’t want to talk about affordability. The reason I don’t want to talk about affordability is because everybody knows that it is far less expensive under Trump and it was under Sleepy Joe Biden!"

He is just out here writing ads for the Democrats, isn't he?

Trump: "If you look at affordability, which they campaigned on, they lied... Energy prices are down by 30, 35, 40%"

Well, based on numbers from the EIA, that's just a lie.

"Prices are down under the Trump administration," President Trump says.

Given the results of Tuesday's elections, the voters aren't buying this from the Trump White House. If they did, Republicans would have won those races.

"Miracle can happen," Orban tells Trump when he asks if the Hungarian leader feels Ukraine can win its war with Russia.

Trump on Viktor Orban: "He's a great leader and he's respected all over. Not necessarily liked by some of the leaders, but those leaders are proven to be wrong."
November 7, 2025 at 5:51 PM
Hungarian PM and strongman Viktor Orban has arrived for his meeting with President Trump. POTUS was asked if he would meet with Putin in Budapest.

"There is always a chance," Trump answered.
November 7, 2025 at 5:34 PM
The voters aren’t buying this. Tuesday night’s election results were proof of that.
How you can tell the shutdown is getting to Trump now

Awaiting the arrival of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who is meeting with President Trump this morning.
November 7, 2025 at 4:36 PM
Exactly this! Voters have said they don’t agree and showed him that on Tuesday
No, prices are no where near $2 a gallon and have NEVER been lower on average than they are now since he took office in January, Prices have actually been higher on average for most of the last year - peaking in April. (Sources: gasprices.aaa.com & ycharts.com/indicators/u...) #Politics #Political

Trump on @pelosi.house.gov announcing her retirement when asked by Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich: “I think she's an evil woman. I'm glad she's retiring. I think she did the country a great service by retiring. I think she was a tremendous liability for the country.”

Colleagues and reporters at every level need to have each others back, especially in times like these. Jake is an incredible reporter and I’ll be subscribing to his work!
I was one of the four people who got canned.

President Trump on Tuesday’s election results: “We’re at almost $2 for gasoline. We are the ones who've done a great job on affordability. And yet, we lost a couple of elections in Democrat areas. They weren’t very Democrat when I ran.”
November 6, 2025 at 7:09 PM
This isn't good news for Democrats, who will now struggle to hold on to this seat.
November 5, 2025 at 8:32 PM
Trump now slamming @barackobama.bsky.social: “I watched him the other day talking "Donald Trump is a mean person." I am not a mean person. He's a mean person. He’s a divider.”
November 5, 2025 at 7:04 PM
“Under the Trump administration, the prices are coming down,” POTUS says.

Well based on the election results last night, no one is buying that story.

Speaking in Miami, President Trump acknowledged the GOP losses last night while also touting his own win one year ago today:

“We restored our sovereignty. We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York, but we'll take care of it,” he says.
