However this Tennessee race turns out, this is an unbelievable change over Trump’s 22 pt. victory a year ago. Are my Republican colleagues ready to join us to vote to bring health care premiums down? You have my number.

The only reliable data we are going to get on this stuff now comes from the private sector. bsky.app/profile/atru...
🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

Pretty much every article about the Putin-Kushner-Witkoff summit in Moscow yesterday fails to mention that Kushner is simultaneously accepting tens of millions in annual payments from the Saudis and other foreign governments.
Seems like a key detail!

According to a new analysis by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, the average American family has paid more than $700 in higher costs per month since Trump took office.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Perhaps major media outlets should pay attention to what happened tonight and recognize that bending the knee to Trump or pandering to a MAGA audience they’ll never win over is not the path forward, morally, journalistically or financially.
