Can't let this become normal. Only Congress can appropriate money. Nothing could be more clear.

Trump: "Buttigieg spent billions fixing the air traffic control. They used copper wire going into glass wire. Any union electrician here or any non-union electrician would say you can't hook copper into glass. It doesn't work. They spent billions, turned on the system & it was stone cold blank"

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

As Trump's energy was faltering during the Zelensky press conference, his voice started to taper, volume got lower, he became raspier, then he suddenly and matter-of-factly used the F word, and just like that - the presser ended.

This man is old and ill.

Trump is compromised.
On Epstein. AND we see it AGAIN with Putin.

Almost every person I know outside the US finds this obvious.
Everything I've learned in behavioral psychology, supports this.
HIS behavior supports this, daily!
Occam's Razor supports this.

Trump IS compromised.

Meiselas: Turmoil grips the U.S. military as Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of U.S. Naval forces in Latin America, resigns, reportedly over opposition to Trump regime–ordered war crimes off the coast of Venezuela, as the regime engages in extrajudicial killings under the guise of "anti-drug operations."

Jeffries: "What's hateful is what happened on January 6. That was a Hate America Rally sponsored by Donald Trump and his sycophants who incited a violent mob to storm the Capitol. That is what hate looks like. What you will see this weekend is what patriotism looks like."

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

“Republicans want to create a king”: @michaelsteele.bsky.social slams Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans for calling the upcoming No Kings protest a “hate America rally,” saying the attacks are a distraction from the truth that they want a king.

Leaders of Young Republican groups across the country talked about putting opponents in gas chambers, joked about raping their enemies, spread antisemitism and praised Hitler.

These are the people who pretend to be offended when called Nazis.

Where’s the GOP leadership outrage?

I had to listen to the audio to confirm it, but yes, as troops are being deployed to American cities, as masked goons are disappearing citizens from our streets, as ICE agents are shooting pepper balls at priests ... Mike Johnson thinks nude bicyclists are "the most threatening thing I've seen yet."

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

In a World of Gangsters and Thugs... Trump is still Trump.

The iron laws of punditry demand that we embrace political amnesia, forgetting everything that has gone before, everything that we know. Pundits speculate that Trump may indeed win the Nobel Peace Prize.
But a reminder: Trump is still Trump.

Trump’s new, additional 100% tariffs on China, will cost the average US household up to $2600.

Trump is forcing Americans to pay more than twice as much for electronics, toys, sneakers, clothing, appliances & more, right before the Holidays.

This is the real “War on Christmas.”

Mike Johnson thinks the “No Kings” rally planned for next week is a “Hate America” rally meant to extend the government shutdown—something someone who has never been to a “No Kings” event would say.

It's really hard to take this guy seriously.
