Speaking of lingering issues, anybody seen a guy skulking around with $50k in a CAVA bag? It's been nearly 15 months! Today would be a good day for the FBI to reveal what happened to the taxpayers' money that Tom Homan apparently took in exchange for propsective official favors.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.
As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal.
I would mention libraries, but…

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Yes, it doesn't involve you directly. But it's your land, you should be paying attention (to this and a million other things).

Reports are that folks spent a record amount this Black Friday — but what’s being buried deep in every story — everything is more expensive and people are buying less items.
Also notable — credit card debt and delinquencies have been rising and more folks are using the ‘buy now pay later’ options.

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.
