McGovern: He says food prices are way down. That's coming from a guy dines on caviar at mar-a-lago. He's never shopped for groceries a day in his life. He doesn't have to pick between plastic or paper.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.

Khanna: I’ll break some news — we’re talking with Massie now about getting another major press conference with the survivors early next week at the Capitol. There’s going to be so much momentum, left and right, to say: out with the Epstein class…

In terms of big disappointments, he gets honorable Manchin.

A tweet from J.J. Abbott (@jjabbott) says:
“Narrator: He did not fight.”
It quotes a 2022 tweet from John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) that reads:
“Health care is a basic, fundamental human right. I will fight for health care like the health care that saved my life. #PASenateDebate.”

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Oh, so he totally stole the money

The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The “unwind” in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a “drubbing.” That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

When SNAP benefits get partially or fully restored, please do not cancel any monetary or food donations you are making to local food banks. People are still going to need a lot of support.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return — not just in words, but in actions.

Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

The way the unionized Pittsburgh Post Gazette workers held out for THREE YEARS until they got what they deserved is exactly what organized resistance should be.

The American people need protection from those who seek to exploit the workers for every last penny.

Some decry this view as "socialism."

I call it fair.
