There’s a growing, sickening feeling in this country that the rules don’t exist anymore not because they disappeared, but because one faction decided they simply didn’t have to follow them.
New Jersey has ‘to be open’ to mid-decade redistricting, Sherrill adviser says

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Gupta: Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive Assessment with this type of frequency. Doing it as frequently as he’s doing makes no sense. I don’t know any neurologist who would recommend doing a MoCA with that type of frequency. It’s not the flex that I think he believes it is.

NEWS: US private employers shed 32,000 jobs in November, according to the latest ADP report. That’s 4 months of job losses in the past 6 months. Small businesses are being hit hardest in the Trump economy. Most industries are seeing layoffs.

Apparently the EU is considering selling off their U.S. Treasury bonds setting us up for a 1929 reboot. I don’t blame them one bit as we have chosen to put their lives,their freedom, and their sovereignty on the line so trump, Witkoff, and the tech bros can get in on mining the Arctic for resources.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

Pam Bondi, Pete Kegseth, Stephen Miller, and Kash Patel are going all in because they know if there's any accountability, they are most likely going to jail for a long, long time.
They are now tethered to Trump.

There is a compromise on the table to get this deal done and reopen the government while keeping health insurance premiums down. But the sole problem, plain and simple, is Mike Johnson.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Day 37 of the GOP shutdown. Flights canceled, workers still unpaid, and health care costs set to skyrocket.
Trump and the GOP own this — they admit it behind closed doors. So why won’t they end the shutdown?

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

It's so funny that the White House has decided, since Tuesday evening, that its big focus will be costs — after eight months of splattering gold paint all over the White House and after a big Roaring '20s party at the private club the president bought from a Post cereals heiress.

Judge Ellis is on the bench this morning about to rule in the case about DHS's use of force in Chicago. Things are not going well for DHS — she just accused Gregory Bovino of lying under oath about his use of force.
Ellis turns to the testimony of U.S. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. How he denied using force against a man he tackled and said he didn't see the Rev. David Black hit by pepperballs.
"More telling," she says, "defendant Bovino admitted that he lied."
