FFS … Gabriel injury blow + a real Cristhian Morning. Bad news to start with today, and that’s Gabriel picking up an injury playing for Brazil yesterday. I don’t think it’s ironic the game took place at the Emirates, his domestic home, just another layer of annoyance. It came midway through the second half, and Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti said afterwards: He had a […] The post FFS … Gabriel injury blow + a real Cristhian appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

See that Rolex clock and gold bar?

It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off.

Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods β€” like luxury watches β€” from 39% to 15%.

While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

Michigan also has at least 4 frontline House districts in the 2026 elections too. So this has implications for control of Congress too.

Michigan runs its own elections. Not the federal government. And certainly not Trump’s corrupt DOJ.

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders. After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. πŸ‘‡

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

I think it is an alternative but not entirely sure if it prevents the goal. It is justifiable criticism but in other situations he has been right. One of those calls where if we win then he's right and if we don't then people pile on.

Trump Humiliation Worsens as Fresh Info Reveals Scale of GOP Losses The results showed that Democrats don’t have to choose between attacking Trump and highlighting the economy. In fact, they are often inseparable.

Anti-Trump politics *is* affordability politics, and Tuesday’s results overwhelmingly demonstrated this. On one front after another, the Democrats’ attacks on Trump were directly linked to voters’ material concerns. trib.al/HTzvxPv

WELKER: Part of your tactic is to imitate some of what we see from online from President Trump. Do you risk normalizing that behavior?

NEWSOM: Quite the contrary. The whole expression was to not allow it to be normalized. He's dressing up as the Pope! It's madness. And so I put a mirror up to it.

More than 100 judges have ruled against the Trump admin’s mandatory detention policy A POLITICO review of the rulings shows judges appointed by every president since Ronald Reagan have rebuked the administration’s new interpretation of immigration law.

NEW: More than 100 federal judges have now rejected the Trump administration’s new policy to lock up nearly everyone facing deportation β€” including 12 judges appointed by Trump, according to a POLITICO analysis.

Only 2 judges have sided with ICE.

If you need the food bank right now, there’s no shame. Shame belongs to a system that pays poverty wages, cuts childcare, and lets healthcare bankrupt families.
If you can give, do. If you can’t, that’s okay too.
We rise by lifting each other.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says β€œwe ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

An alternative currency that (at least theoretically) acquires value from a weaker dollar is cryptocurrency, and Trump *just happens* to hold a multibillion-dollar chunk of crypto.

That’s no small conflict of interest. trib.al/kvEqIIm

I want to send America's seniors an extra $200 a month.
YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren I want to send America's seniors an extra $200 a month.

Donald Trump is sending $40 billion to Argentina. I want to send America's seniors an extra $200 a month.

The cost of everything from groceries to utilities to health care is up.

My new bill is an emergency lifeline for seniors struggling to survive in Trump's economy.

Trump is letting homeowners get tricked.

Debt collectors are buying up old home loans and demanding back interest, even when the debt was cancelled.

If you can’t pay, they take your house.

The CFPB was ready to crack down – but Trump is letting the scams continue.
