What a cruel, sick joke DOGE was. It took a chainsaw to people’s lives, cut services, killed jobs, and had to lie about how much money it saved. Now it’s over but the harm it caused isn’t.

A reminder to House Republicans: if you vote against releasing the Epstein files, you’re an accomplice.

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Again begs the question what leverage Putin might have on Trump. Or is it just all about money.

How embarrassing.

Administration sources were all-in on this Russian wishlist until it was revealed that it was an *actual* Russian wishlist and not just the worst possible peace plan for Ukraine.

On November 22, 1963 62 years ago John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Obviously she felt comfortable answering Blanche’s carefully crafted, softball questions without fear of perjury, but doesn’t want to risk perjuring herself when answering more substantive questions.

The Trump Admin’s excuses get lamer & more ridiculous every day. Patel said under oath that no one but Epstein was involved. Guess there’s so much evidence against Trump & friends they need more time to shred it.

Mark Epstein: "You know, they used to fly in each other's planes. ... They say Donald was on Jeff's plane like seven times, but... have they checked Donald's flight logs from those days to see how many times Jeffrey was on [Donald Trump's] plane? ...

Reminding people in the military and law enforcement of their oath and duty to the Constitution is only a bad thing to someone who wants to rip up the Constitution.

Most Small Businesses Planning Price Hikes As Inflation Escalates, Report Finds Despite mounting pressure from tariffs and rising costs, small businesses remain “cautiously optimistic,” according to a Bank of America report.

Almost two-thirds of small and mid-size business owners say they plan to increase prices next year as nearly all wrangle with inflation hitting their operations, a Bank of America report finds, yet many owners still expect higher revenue and plan to expand in the year ahead.

Trump’s ICE is waiting outside hospital ERs in Charlotte to abduct people in their most desperate hours of need. The cruelty is the point.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Trump administration ends Biden rule forcing airlines to pay flight delayed passengers

Affordability Crisis: The Real Reason Republicans Should Panic Trump’s economic approval collapses as Americans face the worst affordability crisis in decades.

Americans are fed up — and the numbers don’t lie. Trump won in part because people thought he’d fix the economy. Now he’s 26 points underwater on it, and prices for housing, food, insurance, and basic necessities are hammering families harder than ever.

Believe the survivors. Release the files. All of the files.

Headline from CNN that reads Trump administration drops plan to require passenger compensation for delayed flights

Of course they did.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."

Apparently, the Trump Administration only believes in transparency when the information is good news. Any bad news is buried.

White House Will Release October’s Jobs Report—After Saying Data Would ‘Likely Never’ Publish The White House has said last month’s jobs report and inflation data would “likely never” be released.

The only person whose standard of living has improved during this Trump term is Ghislaine Maxwell.

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines?

Sure, Jan.

Australia to offer three hours free solar per day to millions Australia will offer at least three hours of free solar power every day to households including those without solar panels under an energy-saving programme that is expected to go live in 2026, energy minister Chris Bowen said on Tuesday.

With enough solar, energy is free.

So much for the lies that renewable energy is expensive.

Plus, this smart plan encourages energy use during the free hours, which lowers costs by lowering demand in the other hours.

Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

All of the times I’ve wondered what Putin had on Trump, and now we find out Jeffrey Epstein was talking to Putin’s ambassador about Trump.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Thanksgiving is the time to share your blessings with your family and your closest, most enigmatic friends.
