One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

They are building an ICE concentration camp in Newport Oregon on airport land because laws are more strict and security barriers already in place.

Newport, Oregon city council meeting 6pm (11-12-25).

They are building a ICE jail for juveniles on military bases for more security.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Red-Faced Trump Erupts Over ‘Affordability’ Question as Economy Crumbles Around Him It was supposed to be a routine photo-op—a friendly bilateral lunch with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, meant to project calm and confidence after a bruising election week. Instead, Preside…

He wanted a victory lap. Instead, Trump exploded on live TV when a reporter fact-checked his “cheap Thanksgiving” claim. What followed was pure chaos. 🍗🔥👇

I read red posts all the time and they don’t see it as a shellacking—just “blue states voting blue.” Hope they remain overconfident.

This system won’t be fixed by electing the same people over and over again. That’s why I’m running to replace Roger Marshall in Kansas. I’ve worked for 17 years in the special needs community I know what it means to be of service and how to help others.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich.

American capitalism is off the rails.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.

Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Pure 🔥🔥🔥 from Sen. Rosen: "This is a Republican shutdown...You are in control of the White House, the House, and the Senate. If you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-A-Lago...while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. You are blind to the suffering."

Moscow experienced blackouts for the first time since the full scale invasion and residents are not as prepared as Ukranians.
