In case you need a summary of what’s happening, Republicans are unnecessarily making 40 million people go hungry to blackmail Democrats into making your grandma’s health insurance premiums double.

Obama’s point is simple: the bigger the show, the bigger the mess they’re trying to hide. When leaders act like gods flying above us, it’s usually because they’re failing to fix things down here.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

"it is striking how many of the key players we have looked into — the people who have gone out of their way to put up hundreds of flags — seem anything but ordinary."

Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

Perhaps a better question would be who would, should or could replace the Tory leader? Kemi Badenoch behaves like a petulant child most of the time.

What a load of nonsense. It is just the (rightwing) media out for blood because it believes it sells papers. Whether you like Keir Starmer or not, at least he is a grown up who behaves himself both at home and abroad. It is rather refreshing actually.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

America has been warned by China, you may get the first shot off, but you won't get a second. As we gear up for War in Venezuela for their oil, there are countries like China, who aren't just going to let Dump bomb fishing boats in their waters

Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria.
A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help.
We will be sharing their story.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trees next to the road 🌳🌈💚
Much weather here this cold afternoon and even more than this double rainbow on my way 🌬️🌦️🌈

Happy Friday, have a good time 🦋✌️💙✨

BREAKING:

Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.

In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

My God...this is *breathtakingly* shite.

Apparently only three things happened since 2016 that are relevant to where democratic norms stand now: the result of the 2020 election, the result of the 2024 election, and a government shutdown David Brooks blames on Democrats.

I can think of some others.
