I know I’m having an affordability crisis when I stand in the produce aisle holding a single avocado like it’s a Fabergé egg and whisper, ‘Not today, luxury.'

No the connection there is clear.

He imposed huge tariffs on China.
China retaliated by withholding rare earth.
Trump crumbled and is desperate to avoid a reimposition of such a ban.
Thus, he declares victory for reversing the damage he did.

OMG: The signage behind Trump at his so-called affordability event today reads "LOWER PRICES" and "BIGGER PAYCHECKS"

Trump's strategy to counter his disastrous handling of the affordability crisis is to just...lie about it.

This is a gift to Democrats.

Spent 1994-1997 living in Prague, CZ, and all my Eastern European friends had horrific stories of life under the USSR. Putin is a terrorist who has ruined the lives of millions. Can’t wait until he is gone form power

"In this building, maybe it's about the politics, but in the real world and in Georgia, this is life or death."

Rural America relies on foreign doctors. Trump’s visa fee shuts them out. The Trump administration’s demand for companies to pay a $100,000 fee to hire an immigrant worker using an H-1B visa has created turmoil among rural health providers.

"Let's get those brown people out of here..."

Vaughn Hillyard @VaughnHillyard X.com Judge Emil Bove is at President Trump's Pennsylvania event tonight—an unusual move for a federal judge. When asked by MS NOW off camera why he is here, he responded: "Just here as a citizen coming to watch the president speak."

Via MS NOW: Emil Bove is in attendance at Trump’s speech in Pennsylvania tonight.

Nonprofit Explorer Adds Powerful Tools to Help You Research Organizations’ Financials ProPublica has added the ability to find nonprofit organizations that auditors have flagged as having serious financial or control deficiencies. We also added the ability to search for organizations t...

During the year’s busiest season of charitable giving, donors may wonder whether the nonprofits they are considering donating to are going to be good stewards of their money.

Last year, we added tools to Nonprofit Explorer to help you look into that:

Ukraine Stands Firm Attacks on its infrastructure and a major corruption scandal have rocked the country. But President Trump is wrong that Ukraine is destined for defeat.

"Pokrovsk is 'not going to be a springboard for Russian forces to move further west. They will not suddenly leap forward. They can’t. If they were able to do that, they would already have done so.'"

Nearly 40% of newly minted billionaires this year received their wealth through inheritance.

This is the highest figure since UBS started releasing its annual billionaire wealth report in 2015.

Another reminder that the myth of the "self-made" billionaire is just that, a myth.

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

These Crypto Giants Sent Trump Money. His Administration Let Them Off Easy It took more than fame for Trump and his sons to build a crypto empire. They also got a lot of help from industry insiders, many of whom happened to need a hand from the president.

By steering bribes into his crypto firm, pardoning crypto criminals, and gutting watchdog agencies, Trump and his family have made billions from crypto.

Congress must act to stop this brazen corruption by Trump and his allies.

After National Guard shooting, administration cracks down on legal immigration Although President Trump mostly railed against illegal immigration during his campaign last year, his administration has put into motion a broad and unprecedented set of policy changes aimed at substantially limiting legal immigration.

ICE has detained Afghan immigrants, including those with pending legal applications, sparking fear across immigrant communities. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2025-12-08/after-national-guard-shooting-administration-cracks-down-on-legal-immigration?utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky_

They sure do love lying.

Pope Leo on Trump vs Europe: “It’s program that Trump and his advisers put together, and he’s president of the US & has a right to do that. It has a number of things in it that I think while many people in US would be in agreement with, many others would see things in a different way”

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Republicans just wrapped a meeting on healthcare and not even pretending to have a plan.

They’re blaming Dems for the shutdown, as if that stopped them from doing the job. They were still getting paid, they could have been working the entire time.

15 years of whining about Obamacare—still nothing!

The heroes in Ukraine, didn't ask themselves if they were born near or far, left or right, young or old, employed or not, rich or poor, man or woman, military or civilian, they saw danger ahead and ran towards it to defend. #3E #StandWithUkraine

This Could Be The Very Last Chance To Hold Trump Accountable For Jan. 6 Several lawmakers told HuffPost they want to make sure no one forgets the most shameful day in U.S. history — and they’re playing the long game.

...Lee v. Trump, a civil case brought by a group of lawmakers, has survived every bid Trump has made to bury it for four years. And soon, the judge presiding over the case will make a critical decision that could be the very last chance the country will ever have to hold Trump to...

oh

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Fred Wellman @FPWellman 🚨 I am getting a flood of messages from panicked @DeptVetAffairs employees that there is a bloodbath unfolding as @SecVetAffairs has quietly issued personnel guidance cutting THOUSANDS of jobs. Heavily hit is mental health and suicide prevention providers! They are gutting the VA and veterans healthcare while we aren't looking! Word is they are even gutting the brand new clinic in Fredericksburg, VA that Collins has been claiming credit for building. This is the privatization they've always dreamed of and veterans are going to pay for it! @RepVindman #veterans

JFC. The weakening of America continues.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.
