Inauguration?
Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."

I’m sure Ukraine can trust Trump’s “security guarantees” in a peace deal. Nothing to worry about. His word is solid. Like oak.

Nothing about this quote about a “ballroom” suggests “peaceful transfer of power.”

So the President did disclose a CIA drone strike inside Venezuela.

And this does cross a red line of violating the UN Charter -- where the boat strikes on high seas had not.

Who knew fascism would be so unpopular in the artist community?
Trump can slap his name on the building, but he can’t force artists to show up and clap.

The Trump-branded Kennedy Center is bleeding artists.

Figuring out the insurance options for families often falls to women. Some say they're delaying marriage, taking side jobs, and putting their kids on Medicaid as premium prices shoot up in 2026.

It’s not our duty to just smile and nod when a man with this much power demonstrates that he’s a pathological liar and an imbecile. Quite the contrary. Real patriots say out loud this is just plain nuts and he’s unfit to hold office.
Trump: "It's funny, I settled 8 wars. Some were going on for 35 years. And we got them settled in a couple of days. Some of them -- one was going on for 37 years. I settled it in one day. But this is a very complex one."

"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."
Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

So okay. The US, military or otherwise, carried out attacks in Somalia, Nigeria and Venezeula between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Going wider to last week there were at least six different operations between Dec. 22-25.

If the US invested in child care and had national policies like paid leave comparable to other industrialized countries, we would generate $775 billion of economic activity a year. The question should not be, “how can we afford to do this?” The question is, “how can we afford not to?” Let’s do this.
Most New Yorkers can’t afford childcare.

If we learned that the Obama or Biden DOJ was casually monitoring the comings and goings of a reporter for any reason, much less b/c she was the lead reporter on all things Epstein, it would be a Watergate-level scandal but of course since it's Trump, one day (at best) and we move right along 🙃
