No, it’s perfect. Ignore Aaron and keep going, GOP. You’re doing great, everyone loves it and if you keep it up you’re sure to win the midterms in a landslide.

Perfect — Trump is touting Walmart’s Thanksgiving basket being cheaper than last year… but it’s because there’s less stuff in it and what’s in it is different and cheaper🤦🏼

@Walmart complicit with Trump lying to Americans 🤝

“This is how you’re allowing them to treat the people taking care of our babies”

We have heard privately from Republicans who are horrified by this one.

She has papers. They went room to room in a daycare. This is both racial profiling, and terrorism.

There are several Futurama and Arrested Development episodes I’d put on this list, but really what I’m here to argue is that we need to organize some sort of TV festival that’s just a week of non-stop laughs made of the best episodes across sitcom history.

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”

Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

That is not a plan to comply with the court order; it’s a plan to DEFY the court order.

The GOP is doing a very good job running things and should definitely keep it up if they want to stay in power.

This is good, strong, clear messaging that more Dems should be shouting from the rooftops.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Apparently it's "communist" to retain a rent stabilization system which has been in place since 1941, but it's "capitalist" for Trump to insist that the federal government take a controlling stake in dozens of companies with which he engages.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Trump declares that Republicans have lost the shutdown. Absolutely zero reason for Dems to cave at this point

Interesting timing for CNN to drop this story this evening. I’m sure it’s just coincidence and not at all an attempt to force a “Dems in disarray” narrative on the night voters have massively rejected the current state of the GOP.

‘Burning Money:’ Dept. of Energy Directs $100 Million to Modernize Declining Coal Plants - Inside Climate News The funding represents Trump’s latest attempt at coal revitalization, but updating the nation’s aging facilities would cost billions, experts say.

Our federal government is subsidizing coal.

Gonna just say that again, in case you were distracted: They are subsidizing COAL, for fuck's sake!
