Holy shit, a whopping 56 percent of Americans DISAPPROVE of trump's abysmal handling of the economy.

This is lower than any other point even in his first term.

PASS IT ON.

He is not well!
Musk is on a revenge tour as much as Trump. He sees himself as a world savior.

How dare the government regulate and investigate him?

How dare a liberal San Francisco audience boo him?

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel are unqualified to serve as Director of National Intelligence and FBI Director, respectively.

Their nominations represent clear dangers to our democracy.

Trump tonight on Elon Musk: "He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like, in a landslide. So it was pretty good. Pretty good. So thank you to Elon."

A reminder that Trump, the luckiest man on earth, like in 2017, is inheriting a strong, growing economy with months & months of job growth & growing real wages (even though most Americans don’t know it!), & will almost certainly 1) take credit for it and 2) screw it all up again.

The S&P 500 rose more than 20% in Biden's final two years in office.

Um. What the fuck?

“Elon was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon.”

Did Donald Trump just admit he cheated in Pennsylvania?

What’s so effed up is that Trump not just releasing but celebrating so many people who assaulted and helped cause the deaths of police officers won’t do the kind of damage to the GOP’s rep on ‘law and order’ that a mere activist slogan (‘defund the police’) did to the Dems. The bias is real, folks.
Trump hints he will reveal J6 pardons tomorrow: “Everybody in this room tomorrow will be very happy with my decision on the J6 hostages.”

The crowd cheers for letting off cop-beaters.

How very Ernst.
Sen Joni Ernst read a pro-Hegseth letter from Mark Lucas into the record. She identified Lucas as a fellow Iowan with whom she served the National Guard.
What she didn't say: Lucas works full-time for a group pressuring senators to back Trump's nominees.

Laura Belin: Ernst discounted facts that reflected poorly on Hegseth and played up a testimonial from someone with a stake in the outcome.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

4) Repeat.

Don't let them get away with it.

In the scheme of things, this is bad!

Speaker Johnson just fired Rep. Mike Turner as House Intel Chair, despite claiming he “admires” him and praising his leadership.

The real reason? Turner refused to bend the knee to Trump—we can bet his replacement will be a hardliner.

The incoming Trump administration is not sending their best. They’re sending people with big problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re rapists. They’re alcoholics. They’re criminals. And some, I assume, are good people 🤷🏽‍♀️

The ultimate irony that Pete Hegseth complains that we have lowered the standards to join the military while he asks Senators to lower the standards for confirming a Secretary of Defense.
