Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Donald Trump has not quite made being a Democrat or opposed to him illegal. But he has done everything short of that. Prosecuting Dems. Classifying groups that oppose him (Antifa) as terrorists. Deporting/blocking entry of people who criticize him. Keeping federal funds from Dem states & cities.

A massive corruption scandal is brewing in Nevada: it appears the Republican Governor's office stepped in to cover for Elon Musk's Boring Company after safety violations caused two firefighters to suffer chemical burns. Even worse? It looks like they deleted evidence of their meetings!

“what’s the point of standards?” asks a woman who tripped ass-backward into a huge job for which she is breathtakingly unqualified
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them.
I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.
And make health insurance affordable.
The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.
I'm voting no.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.
These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.
