On the bright side, it looks like Trump will be solely responsible for scrapping health insurance subsidies without any alternative in sight.

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

If it makes anyone feel better, I’ll bet $100 there will be another shutdown between here and next November.

There were eight votes here. King isnt a Democrat, Fetterman is Fetterman. Add four “small tight states with razor thin margins” Senators who don’t need a leadership push on this, and you’re left with Kaine and Durbin. IMO the only coordination here was Durbin covering for Warner.

This part…

If Mark Kelly is down, I’m on board… The Thanksgiving stuff makes me pretty dang nervous and I think Ds are well on their way to a solid election next year. At this point though, I suppose the more fight the better.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The right controls a bunch of bullshit which would report it that way anyway and then I guess CBS News whose viewers are still likely unlikely to accept that as the narrative.

No one wants to be holding the bag if Thanksgiving travel is blown to bits. Gotta figure something out before then.

I mean…couldn’t you basically say “Nominating -an existing Republican- would be like putting Trump at the top of the ticket next year and hoping everyone survives,” said one Republican operative.”

This is the hole they have dug. Good luck fuc&ers.

Frankly I’m amazed there’s not more visible gold leaf in the second photo.

Its hard to believe this is real… If were in a movie, you’d think “this is so over the top and ridiculous”

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

Let’s be honest, if he’d gotten $5 million from his illegal scheme, that would be okay too.

TXRH is the largest US full service chain by sales…and incredibly levered to beef.

Read whole thread:

Argentinian bailout was more than all of US AID budget

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

Trump to the Novo Nordisk CEO: "Maybe you should give us a piece of the company like I've been asking for."

Pretty big argument for breaking them up at this point.

Let them stay in denial and next year can be an even bigger romp.

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin.

How times change.

elections should follow mario rules

Good lord.

If only this could have been foreseen in some way….

NYT graphic showing China’s reduced trade with the US and increased trade with almost everyone else.

BREAKING: World outside America exists. Global economy is global. Picking trade fights with everyone at once rather than rallying allies to pressure China together still very stupid.

"the documents were so restricted that top Justice Department security officials reacted with surprise to the code names: They had never heard of them before. Some involved special access programs that required the president or a cabinet member to grant approval to view."

Paul Manafort?! No way!
