INGRAHAM: Is affordability a voter perception issue of the economy, or is there more that needs to be done by Republicans?

TRUMP: More than anything else, it's a con job by the Democrats. Are you ready? Costs are way down.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

"JPMorgan on Monday said building AI infrastructure will cost more than $5tn"

Crazy idea: Why not, rather than spending $5 TRILLION dollars to pay for data centers to create fake brains, just pay actual human beings with real brains that same $5 trillion?

Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

In a late night Saturday memo, the Trump administration told states through the FDA on Sunday that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move meant to only add chaos and uncertainty.

Can’t get over how bad GOP shutdown messaging is. Voters already blame them, rightly so, and now Trump’s team is on TV admitting their shutdown will ruin the holidays for millions of American families.
Sean Duffy: "We have a number of people who want to get home for the holidays, they want to see their family. Listen, many of them are not going to be able to get on an airplane."

Ppl on this site insisted that Democrats focusing the shutdown fight on healthcare was stupid but here we are with Republicans willingly leaning in on trying to do the absolute most unpopular thing they did from Trumps first term all over again except dumber and even more unpopular

Oh good. the 50-year mortgage. That should solve everything.

Another thing about Trump’s 50-year mortgage idea: a 30-year mortgage already sucks for regular people. It’s great for banks, awful for equity. A home is basically a forced savings account—stretching that out to 50 years is cartoonishly stupid and solves nothing.

Time after time, Homeland Security’s accounts of its violent incidents in Chicago turn out to be lies. Local journalists and a federal judge have done a good job of calling them out. I wish the national political media had the same level of skepticism toward “official” accounts by proven liars.

Judge Sara Ellis said Trump's Justice Department lacks credibility, partly because of a lie told by U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino.
