Interesting. Now that polling shows that voters are largely blaming the GOP for the shutdown, Trump is calling for the Senate to use the nuclear open and reopen the government.

Before, he was telling us he GOP to “hold firm” and not cave to anything Dems wanted.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

You know what’s catastrophic? Being sold out by the billionaires in that room.

David Sirota writes: “A group of literal oligarchs bewailing socialism at a gathering inside a kingdom ruled by an actual monarch is a bit too on the nose.”
The embedded post from Bloomberg TV quotes Bill Ackman saying: “‘Having a socialist mayor would be catastrophic,’” referring to his opposition to Zohra Mamdani’s campaign for New York mayor. The image shows a panel of business leaders seated at a lavish conference in Saudi Arabia.

The Trump regime thought the judiciary couldn’t keep pace, but they were wrong. Judges have been steadily building cases, blocking escape routes, and pushing back against the administration’s misconduct. The result? A series of court defeats that the White House can’t just sweep under the rug.

Trump’s Getting Thumped in Court

Bad faith arguments, blatant misrepresentations, illegal appointments and politicized prosecutions are turning judges against Trump’s DOJ.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

Ettingermentum writes: “Actually what on earth is in those files bro.”
The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.”
The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

The fundamental difference between the two parties is this:
If Trump had won as a democrat. THE DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE THROWN HIM THE FUCK OUT A LONG TIME AGO.

Any journalist in America desperate to be Charlie Brown trying to kick a football with Lucy as the holder is free to believe that Trump has no plans for a third term if they want

Personally I feel like the 31,000 lies Trump told during his first term are enough for me to discount any claim he makes

Trump says 'it's pretty clear' he can't run for 3rd term

President Donald Trump appeared to acknowledge Wednesday that he cannot run for a third term, after previously declining to rule out the possibility.

We could have had joy, jobs, no tariffs, no wars, deportation with due process, Snap, no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or social security but apparently we have racist, sadistic a**holes who voted for someone who thought the same way as them.
