Nothing to see here. Just the White House needing to reassure the public that Piggy doesn't want to murder members of Congress. 😩

I know I’m a libtard but I think it’s bad the U.S. president keeps calling for the killing of specific sitting elected officials who didn’t even commit crimes

It’s ingrained and indoctrinated on US military members not to follow Unlawful orders. Trump never has taken his oath seriously, he will never understand this.

For trump that’s business as usual.
Americans are not understanding how serious things are with trump remaining in office. It was so disturbing watching Trump with MBS today in the Oval Office. He is totally delusional & he is sucking up to another depraved person who had a human being dismembered. World leaders know he is not ok.

Cash bail is one of the most powerful strategies of the prison industrial complex.
The House has passed H.R. 5214, a bill to return DC to cash bail.
Cash bail creates two tiers of justice, one for people with money and one without. DC abolished it more than 30 years ago and crime has dropped precipitously since.
H.R. 5214 is wrong and we will continue to fight its passage.

Stand up for healthcare!
Yesterday at the Democratic Women’s Caucus, I reaffirmed my commitment to West Michigan: your health care is not up for negotiation.
I voted against the reopening deal because it left families behind. I’ll keep fighting for affordable, accessible care — no matter what.

There’s always money for war but never for hungry kids
About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

Is anyone actually surprised trump just pull numbers out of thin air
Trump just claimed his tariffs have pulled in $2 trillion. Then literally hours later, he inflated that to $3 trillion. With this absurdity, he undermined his case for tariffs, revealing that he's just pulling numbers out of his ass.
On the pod we dig deep into this:

Love trusting the burrito taxi company with researching the economy!
They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Trump has never actually cared about ordinary Americans!
So Trump says he has to “bring in” foreign talent because American workers don’t have it. I also notice he says “No YOU don’t have it, instead of WE, Americas President is a literal foreign agent

The GOP thinks we'll ignore this because of the gov't shutdown BS -- they're DEAD WRONG!
On November 10, 2025, Trump granted 77 "full, complete, and unconditional" pardons to individuals linked to 2020 election efforts, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows.

Trump has money to money to pay his secret police but not to feed struggling families.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

Republicans’ lies only work when people have no clue how the world works — which is why we have to invest in education beyond K-12 and college
My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

GOP must come to the table on healthcare!
I voted no tonight.
But the next phase of Democrats’ health care affordability fight is starting.
While I personally don’t believe Republicans will keep their promise to work with us on lowering health care costs, I would be thrilled to be wrong.

This is not how the federal workers who keep are families safe in the air should be treated!
Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

Health care is a human right!
This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Less for more that’s the trump promise!
He brags about how the Walmart Thanksgiving basket is cheaper than last year, and proof his economy is better than Biden's. It's a much smaller turkey, fewer and cheaper ingredients and doesn't even have a pecan pie in it any more. We have to make due with less while he parties like a rock star.
Trump keeps touting a Thanksgiving meal basket from Walmart that's 25% cheaper. But it has half as many items as last year | Fortune
This year's basket includes just 15 items compared to last year's 29. It is missing many dessert items, including a pecan pie, mini marshmallows and muffin mix.
