Image the type of person Trump considers for a job in his maladministration, then imagine that type of person figuring out that as long as they are loyal to Trump, the can do absolutely anything they want, unconstrained by any laws, rules or societal norms.

This is exactly what you get.

Unions and elected leaders are outraged: the Trump admin fired SNAP worker and union leader Ellen Mei in Boston — all while planning to rip $186 billion from nutrition assistance to hand out tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. Working families get nothing.

Mske no mistake, Texas didn’t “redraw” the 2025 map, they racially gerrymandered it. In 2025, Minority voters shouldn’t be getting sidelined because an incompetent president demanded a map built on discrimination. File Greg Abbott in the history books under despicable.

I just realized that Majorie Taylor Greene likely picked January 5th because it would (barely) make her eligible for a congressional pension.

A House Member has to win three consecutive terms and serve at least five years. January 3rd marks her fifth year in Congress.

New bodycam video shows a Fairhope police colonel arresting a 61 yr old grandmother in an inflatable penis costume during an Oct. 18 protest.

He tells her the outfit is not welcome in a town with values. Her lawyers say the footage proves her arrest violated her First Amendment rights.

Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts.

He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company.

He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy.

Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.

And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

Not from a political figure whose influence is shrinking by the week.

Our leaders and countless patriots have a good reason for publicly reminding US soldiers to refuse illegal orders. Why it's a controversy. It's because many of our soldiers have been obeying illegal orders.

Let's keep that foremost in mind

Also another reminder that <10 people in Washington - all of whom are Republicans & all of whom keep getting total daily free passes from the media about their cowardice - could end most of the madness tomorrow by simply caucusing with the Democrats & giving them control of both the House & Senate.
Suddenly the special election in TN-07 becomes potentially hugely consequential. It shouldn’t be competitive, but if Democrats steal it, when Greene resigns the Republican majority will be down to 218-216 w a sure Dem seat with no special scheduled in Texas.
Just catching up; what’s the significance of Jan 5? Does waiting until then affect when the special will be scheduled?

Do not let Mike Johnson fool you again. He is not trying to change the rules to stop end censures. He is trying to change long-standing house procedures to make it harder to pass discharge petitions.

Tell him to shove the Johnson precedent up his ass. No deals. 🖕🏽

The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.
Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

This was not a close call. Like, doing this violated specific federal statutes with criminal and civil penalties attached. Orange jumpsuits should follow for some, including Bessent.

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.
