Trump says we currently have the single greatest economy American eyes have ever seen. Scott Bessent and Kevin Hassett agree that some sectors of the U.S. economy might already be "in recession."

When a president can’t even convince his own economic team.... www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Even Trump’s own team doesn’t believe his weird boasts about the economy
The president isn’t just failing to persuade the public to distrust their lying eyes, he’s also failed to convince his own economic team.

Speaking as a veteran, you blew it Tim! You outfoxed yourself with your nonsensical Moratorium on Mischief and Yes vote. You don't seem to understand you're not dealing with caring rational legislators. Winning is the only thing, wake up! You squandered what little leverage had been gained.

For so many veterans like Evan, service doesn't end when they take off the uniform.

It continues in the community they build and the fellow veterans they lift up along the way.

Today, we honor all who've served – and all the ways they keep serving. We are so grateful.

Schumer may have voted no but people are tired of the DC dance.

✅ The 8 senators admit they kept him in the loop
✅ The 8 senators that voted yes are not up for reelection
✅ His No. 2 voted yes

We need a new politics with new faces for working people.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

Come join with others to stand against Trump's political prosecutions, against ICE's attacks on our communities, and for freedom of speech and the right to protest.

See you tomorrow.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Trump in power has meant death for Republican prospects in every election held while he’s occupied the Oval Office: 2017, 2018, 2020, and now 2025. Harold Meyerson writes as president, Trump is great at mobilizing voters to turnout against him.

Trump in power has meant death for Republican prospects in every election held while he’s occupied the Oval Office. His skills on the stump (slander, vilification) don’t play so well when they dominate his performance in office.

To Trump, the illegality of his unilaterally imposed tariffs seems to be a feature not a bug — part of a concerted effort to barrel through the remaining checks being placed on executive power by Congress and the Supreme Court. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Your statement is complete drivel. Trump cult Republicans don't care what their constituents think. They don't even show up for Town Halls! They could easily vote for ACA subsidies anytime without you caving in on a yes vote! You gave up any leverage Democrats had. Your phone off the hook today?

I just watched your reel on TikTok about how you've been trying to gain a Moratorium on Mischief? Why is that not posted on here? What utter nonsense! How can you be so out of touch? You and Warner need to be voted out! Show up at a 50501 or No Kings Rally! Hear what constituents actually think!

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.
