The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

Three questions:
1. Is who politicians follow online newsworthy?
2. Is the vice-president more important than a primary candidate to be junior Senator from Texas?
3. If the answer is yes to the first two, why isn’t Axios doing a fuck ton of stories about who JD Vance is following?

This is brilliant

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The UAE, taking in billions in US weapons and then turning around and arming the genocidal RSF: We’d never get away with this if America still existed in the world!

Ahem

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

Something is obviously wrong with Trump. In under a year he’s had an MRI, two “annual” physicals, a cognitive test, face drooping, swollen ankles, bruised hands, vanished for a week, and looks lost in videos.

Tell me any of that is normal.

The pardon wasn’t enough. It’s immunity for life.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

In a weird way, you've got to take your hat off to Jeffrey Epstein for successfully running a sex trafficking ring without a single one of his rich friends finding out about it.

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.
