President-elect Trump reportedly balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks.

That's a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems, like Tom Homan's bribery probe.

Apparently, US forces struck something, somewhere in Venezuela, and the Pentagon, CIA, and others in the administration are giving no details. We wouldn't even know if Trump didn't blurt it out on the radio. Under what authority was military force used? #NoForeverWars

Both of the homes Trump claimed as principal residences in the ’90s were used as investment properties and rented out, according to an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario he’s pointed to as evidence of fraud.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

This highlights just how broken American democracy is.

So much of it is geared towards listening to, talking to and doing what rich people want.

Also illustrates why there's hardly any young people who can successfully run for congress.
Candidate fundraising call time is one of the most demoralizing, radicalizing experiences in politics.
