I noticed in the Blanche-Maxwell interview that she said “the president” repeatedly (never used his name) when she said he was never there and did nothing. Of course he didn’t …when he was president. He did it when he was a private citizen. Blanche probably coached her.

Took the best option. Making Americans suffer with no win in sight made no sense.
Did Democratic Senators Cave Or Take The Best Option?
Seven Democrats and one Independent voted to fund the government through January 30 2026.
It does nothing to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Last night, the Senate advanced a measure to end the government shutdown, which at 41 days today is the longest in U.S.

You forgot “accused rapist.”
On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

He says it’s a lie. But a 4-star general/Gold Star parent heard him say it.

Why is he afraid to be interviewed by a real journalist?
Ingraham asks Trump about destroying the East Wing to build his ballroom: "There was a report that Melania didn't love this idea. Is that true?"
Trump: "Well, she loved her little tiny office in there…If you were to ask her now, she says, 'It's great.'"

A disgraceful abuse of power. The Mueller, Rubio and Durham investigations already wasted money getting nowhere on this issue. Trump has an uncanny way of escaping accountability while he makes accusations against innocent others that come to nothing beyond harassment.

Pardons for sale. If Trump gives her any more privileges, including clemency, we know that money may not be involved, but silence certainly is.

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.
In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

She was once a real journalist. But she discovered that she could find more success spewing hate and lies as a MAGA-Mean Girl.
There was a time when she spoke out against sexual harassment perpetrated by people like Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, but that was a different Kelly. Now as long as she likes the job they’re doing, getting a little “handsy” is ok.

Don’t be so hard on the guy. He was groggy because when the man collapsed, there was a lot of activity that woke Donnie up from the nap he was taking during their speeches.
This picture is worth at least a thousand words. Where do I start?

He may be exaggerating a bit, but it is true that we are now in a time where criminals run for public office (even the presidency!) to avoid prison.
Mere imprisonment should be the very least of their worries.
Steve Bannon: If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included.

Pres.Biden said that inflation was coming down. That was true, but people didn’t feel it and voted accordingly. Trump: “Best economy like no one‘s ever seen!” Voters aren’t stupid. They know that’s a lie. And that he’s made the economy worse. They’re definitely feeling that.
And voted accordingly

As Fox News tries to process the shellacking Republicans got in the election yesterday, that genius Rachel Campos Duffy remarked of the 80% women Democratic vote “We have a woman problem. We need to push marriage.” She really said that.

The most revealing data point for me is that after those repugnant and shocking violent texts revealed two weeks before the election, Jay Jones still won and won big to be Virginia’s AG. Democrats, independents & sane Republicans telling Trump they see what he’s doing. And they don’t like it.
Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.
Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

The most important fact to take from this new book by Carol Leonnig about the Trump destruction of the Justice Department: after the Mar-a-Lago search for classified documents here’s what DOJ faced: what to do? “If it were any other person, he’d be arrested tomorrow.”

They will say he didn’t write it; but we know for sure it expresses Joe’s kindness and humanity. Trump would never allow a letter so deeply human and philosophical be sent in his name.
Recall when we had a president who was a decent human being? Seems so remote and novel now.
