Trump's entire gambit is to bully and harass and intimidate people into silence. But the elections last Tuesday, the huge No Kings turnout, and the packed rooms I saw in New Hampshire this week are proof that his plan is not working.

I'm not being sarcastic when I say maybe I'm wrong, maybe Trump really is cornered & soon we'll have at least a prog-dem gov't. That'd be good. & then we can get busy w/ the real threats: the rising tide, the heaving rains, the glowering heat, the suffocating flames, the wars they spark.

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:
✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.
Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Trump is opening an "investigation" because that precludes DOJ from being allowed to release the files.

It’s a shame about the headline and social framing, because this is vital reporting that will make you gasp in horror for this kid and leaves no doubt about which party was responsible
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

Lets not forget the Mike Lee - Matt Gaetz connetions
My god…
The 17-year-old girl who testified she had sex with Matt Gaetz for money was living in and out of homeless shelters and hoped to raise enough money for braces.
Gaetz campaigned for Utah Republican U.S. Senate candidate Trent Staggs in 2024 and Trump nominated him to be Attorney General.

I hope against hope that someone good will run in UT-03 &that voters will realize theawful representation from the GOP.
Like Mike Kennedy, he didn't even pretend to serve constituents during the shutdown. He's a MD and he lies about healthcare policy. Wouldn't release the Epstein files. Etc

It's cool there are so many extremely qualified Democrats who could run for the new Utah District 1 seat. It's looking like it will be a crowded field.

Republicans are scrambling to cover up the Epstein file, but we say anyone involved in Epstein's billion-dollar child sex trafficking ring must be brought to justice—whether Republicans, Democrats or, yes, even presidents.

This is absurd and plainly illegal. The courts should reject this fringe theory.
But the real news here is Trump will do anything to try to kill an agency that has returned more than $21 billion to scammed Americans, but he'll do nothing to lower costs for American families.

For the record, it’s going to be a long while before my anger subsides at the Democrats who surrendered. They’ve made this fight harder. But I won’t allow my anger to distract from the necessary focus on Trump & the feckless Republicans who will exploit every weakness to intensify their demolition.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
