Remember “sleepy Joe Biden“ ? Meet “fast asleep Donald Trump”..snoozing at his press conference. Between his sleeping & GOP Congress on vacation, & Trump appealing decision to actually feed hungry kids, we’re in world of hurt. But help is on the way as we organize for every election going forward.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

It’s scary to believe he knows these are lies. Surely the sycophants around him are telling him what he wants to hear and he repeats it as fact.

Trump taking a victory lap because Walmart made their Thanksgiving meal smaller and crappier (and hence cheaper) is such a perfect encapsulation of his hucksterism

Like the rest of them, simply doesn’t want to loose her high profile, cushy job.

These are not the same:

1) Ukraine bombs Russian energy…. Meant to finance the attack on their country

2) Russia bombs Ukrainian energy… meant to provide heat and light for civilians over the winter.

Mamdani Taps Antitrust Crusader Lina Khan to Help Lead Transition Her appointment is likely to do little to assuage a business community rattled by the mayor-elect’s progressive agenda.

Let the elite corporate freak out continue. www.wsj.com/us-news/mamd...

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

If I was a Republican member of Congress watching the results tonight, I’d ask myself if I really wanted my legacy to be: Guy who helped an aging pedophile suspend the constitution so he could enrich himself and his friends.

I just watched a mayor-elect in my state defy an authoritarian at the height of his institutional power—with Congress and the court behind him.

I watched him deliver a full-throated defense of transgender Americans and immigrants and declare in no uncertain terms that he is a democratic socialist.

Another war criminal bites the dust. He sucked as a boss, too.

One of those artists who had to borrow money to get his guitar out of hock to play a gig to pay rent, AND wrote great songs that musicians of his time loved. All love for his songs.

Listen to Blaze Foley. It will do you good.

Bob Dylan said Blaze was his favorite songwriter. Townes Van Zandt said Blaze was one of the most spiritual people he ever met. John Prine covered his work. Merle Haggard tracked down every recording he could get. The public has mostly forgotten.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

A president actively thinking about suspending habeas corpus is a president Congress should be actively thinking about removing from power.

Just to be clear. MAGAs are gutting:
•Medicaid—which 60M Americans rely on to survive
•SNAP—which 42M Americans rely on to eat
•School Lunch—which 30M kids rely on daily
•Housing Assistance—which 5M families rely on to live

ALL to cut $4.5T in taxes for 800 Billionaires

This Is Barbaric.

A double play off a line drive to left with one out in the bottom of the ninth, the tying run on second, and the World Series-winning run at the plate, is a helluva way to end a baseball game. Wow.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

After 29 years, RFA is on pause From the executive editor: funding uncertainty is driving RFA’s remaining teams to stop delivering the news for now

There was a lot of this kind of talk, as I recall, when HRC stood by Bill after the ML scandal.

As someone who is divorced with kids, all I can say is that most people have zero idea how difficult that decision is to make. I have also noticed that a lot of folks on the left have very little grace

Art of the deal 🤷🏼

Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon.

Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.
