I thought my protest days were over after Vietnam, Watergate, Roe v Wade, and the women’s movement. I was wrong. But I’m tired. Love dogs and books.

He had it removed for renovation earlier and it did reappear. One can hope it’s a replica.

“I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom,” Judge Mark L. Wolf writes on his decision to resign from the federal bench. “President Trump is using the law for partisan purposes”:

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump says we're taking in "trillions of dollars" from tariffs. Is that true?

BESSENT: Uh. Over the course of the next few years, we could take in trillions of dollars

S: Are you worried though that the president's focus on revenue is going to hurt you at SCOTUS?

B: Not at all

Reductions in Force not required by shutdowns, have never happened in any previous shutdown, and a judge has ruled they are illegal.
The shutdown is an excuse, not a reason, for them to do what they wanted to do: destroy government.

it’s very clear at this point that Republicans are being blamed for then shut down. doubling down to ruin Thanksgiving when you know you’re going to take the blame is unhinged politically.

Democrats' 2025 election wins go beyond the big races:

In Pennsylvania, Dems swept the top "row offices" in Bucks County, electing the county's first-ever Democratic DA and defeating an incumbent Republican sheriff.

Dems notched victories in county executive races in Erie, Lehigh and Northampton.

TAPPER: Do you have any numerical idea of how many Americans will not be able to be with their families for Thanksgiving because of this?

Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

‘How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system In the year’s most shocking documentary, The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Officials Demand States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamps

The cruelty is the point. We're living with a sadistic regime with the goal of making Americans suffer. This is the first time in history that the White House and Congress did not strive to improve the lives of our people. It's the exact opposite of "MAGA".

The Democrats are cracking like dogs on the Shutdown because they are deathly afraid that I am making progress with the Republicans on TERMINATING THE FILIBUSTER! Whether we make a Deal or not, THE REPUBLICANS MUST “BLOW UP” THE FILIBUSTER, AND APPROVE HUNDREDS OF LONG SOUGHT, BUT NEVER GOTTEN, POLICY WINS LIKE, AS JUST A SMALL EXAMPLE, VOTER ID (IDENTIFICATION). Only a LOSER would not agree to doing this!

Trump saying Biden didn’t know who he was pardoning is an accusation.

Trump saying Trump didn’t know who he was pardoning is an admission.

Plus, can we talk about the guy Trump pardoned?

Don Moynihan on "Purge, Merge, and Surge" "Instead of surging in Iraq, it’s happening here in American cities."

“In ‘Purge, Merge, and Surge,’ Moynihan details how the administration is creating a federal ‘omniforce’ accountable to Trump that he can use to ‘impose control over Democratic cities, instigate enough unrest to justify escalation, and tamp down any dissent.’”

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving.

Except for, I don’t know, lying about a plague and getting a million of his own citizens killed. Oh wait, let’s also not forget the time that he:
