Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

They selfishly pocket Trump’s tax give-away, and are “sounding alarm” about’ dwindling consumer spending? Well, they can’t eat their ‘cake and have it.
Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

This thought is new. It never came into consideration when they dealt with Jeffrey Epstein.

We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

The Dallas Cowboys picked up a huge win on Thanksgiving Day against the Kansas City #Chiefs and are suddenly the talk of the #NFL town. Happy holidays, indeed.
What’s amazing is that four days before the #Cowboys beat Kansas City they had a 21-0 comeback win against the Philadelphia #Eagles.

What Sen. Kelly did wasn’t unlawful. He offered much needed advice to the military not to be misled, given current environment. The message was simple: ‘don’t obey illegal order’.
Kelly was one of six lawmakers who appeared in a video urging military members to refuse illegal orders, accusing Trump of pitting the military against American citizens.

Republicans are threatened by his profile, because they see him as a potential Democratic Party candidate. They‘re simply insane.
This is yet another assault by the Article 2 branch of government on the Article 1 branch.

Mark Kelly's an American hero.
He's pro-gun control.
He's prochoice.
He's pro ACA.
He's pro economic integrity.
He's a moderate.
He's iffy on climate protection.
He reps a swing state.
He's anti ICE terrorism.
If he ran for POTUS, he'd need to choose a progressive energizer for VP.

Reporter: Stefanik has campaigned on calling Mamdani a jihadist. Do you think you’re standing next to a jihadist?
Trump: No… but she's out there campaigning. You say things sometimes in a campaign. You’d have to ask her about that. I met with a man who is a rational person.

Result of Trump/Mamdani White House meeting: GOP LOST BIG!
Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.
