The Republican-led House has approved a measure to reinstate collective bargaining rights for nearly 1 million federal workers, voting to nullify a Trump executive order for the first time.

Something often overlooked regarding Mike Johnson. When he became Speaker he'd been in Congress just 7 years. Along w/ his other shortcomings, he's grossly inexperienced w/no clue about how to be an effective Speaker (a la Pelosi). But MAGA loves him, because he's a complete lackey for Trump.

Not just you Mr.Corn. I am finding myself so sick that the story isnโ€™t still being talked about. I want media push back And tell Trump to fuck off!

1 of 4/ Just a reminder what complete hypocrites members of the GOP are & how they have completely sold their souls. I present 3 articles quoting Mike Johnson, Marco Rubio, & Lindsey Graham saying in 2015/16 Trump is completely unfit to be President. Yet now, in their eyes, he can do no wrong.

Abbott sets Jan. 31 runoff for 18th Congressional District The Houston-based seat will have been without representation for about 11 months.

Dem House member Turner passed away in Mar '25. Runoff special election between 2 Dems for seat is 1/31/26. TX Gov Abbot has intentionally denied representation in Congress for that district for 11 months to increase narrow GOP House majority. Where's the outcry? www.texastribune.org/2025/11/17/t...

Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office

Trump is reportedly raging about this article. Can you imagine what he would be like if they did an actual deep dive on his health, instead of what is essentially a cursory puff piece, with vague discussions of what are clearly serious physical and cognitive issues? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

TN election poll shows close race between Aftyn Behn, Matt Van Epps. Who has the edge? A poll shows early voters favor Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn, while those planning to vote on Election Day are leaning toward Republican nominee Matt Van Epps. What to know.

This is a seat that the GOP has been winning w/60%+ of the vote for several elections. Hoping desperately for a Dem win, but even if Behn loses, if the actual vote is as close as the polls say it is, that's seismic. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

While I appreciate NY Times finally focusing on Trump's health, it's essentially a puff piece, w/discussion of his clear cognitive decline barely mentioned, & lacking in any sort of deep dive much beyond his schedule about his obvious major medical issues. And they can't help Biden bashing...again.

Nice of @nytimes.com to finally do long article on Trump's health. Unfortunately, barely scratches the surface & avoids going deep on his serious medical issues. Worse, it buries discussion of his obvious mental decline w/only brief mention. @mediabusters6.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...
