Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

“Get insurance companies out of it. We don’t need a middle man. They’re like the mob, taking their cut off the top.”

@RepTimBurchett unwittingly makes the case for MEDICARE FOR ALL as Republicans flail for a way to deal with skyrocketing health care costs.

Signalgate shows top Trump officials—Hegseth, Waltz, even the VP—running ops through a disappearing Signal chat instead of secure channels. It bypassed the chain of command, broke record-keeping laws, put lives at risk. The IG says the receipts are damning.

Blatant corruption on full display.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

Idk, just spitballing here.

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement."

This was intentional…

This is unfortunately and sadly who we are now….

First Marge flees the sinking GOP ship… now Nancy? Yikes

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

Pete Hague-seth.

💰 How about "blowing" it on more affordable health insurance for Americans⁉️

Asked whether Mr. Trump fell asleep, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement that the president was "listening attentively and running the entire" meeting. She cited Mr. Trump's response during a question and answer segment at the end of the meeting, when he delivered a tirade against Somali immigrants.

NYT: Is the President tired?

Ms. Leavitt: Would a weary President be able to deliver a racist rant like that one?

A private company can sell to whomever it likes but I think it is unethical to support ICE 😡

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement … a bulk order for 20 armoured vehicles from Canadian defence manufacturer Roshel that are built to resist bullets and bomb blasts.”

Trump will claim this proves he's not being partisan, but what it really proves is what Trump has been telling us for decades: He doesn't believe bribery and corruption should be illegal. He thinks that's the way business (and therefore politics) is supposed to be done, and restricting it is unfair.

This article from 2016 aged like fine wine.

The border is not secure. What the hell is he talking about? Trump gutted the joint terrorism task force and the National Security Council. JFC

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Rand Paul: "Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."

ICYMI — HEGSETH IN 2016: “There have to be consequences for war crimes… that’s why the military said it won’t follow unlawful orders from the commander-in-chief. There’s a standard. There’s an ethos.”

Where did this guy go? Is this also treason or nah? 🤷🏼
