Say ciao to Italian pasta, thanks to Trump First he came for your eggs , and ...

"..because this is the Trump era—it’s now so much more haphazard and stupid."

"The Commerce Department only requested documentation from two companies then got mad and said that the companies were “uncooperative” because there were some untranslated Italian words."

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work.

Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

Nearly 80% of voters in farming-dependent counties voted for Trump. Now, many of the farmers are on the brink of bankruptcy because of his policies.

TRUMP: If you have President Xi from China, or if you have some big state event, we have no place to have it

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.

Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

Jim Acosta @ @Acosta • 28m
Democrats had tons of energy coming out of last week's elections. Tonight's deal with GOP will outrage progressives and divide the party once again. For what? The possibility there will be a vote on Obamacare subsidies down the road?
Which Trump will likely hold hostage?
Huh?

We were told Senate Dems needed to be laser focused on making the shutdown about ACA healthcare subsidies and not ask for too much else so that they could demonstrate how they were measured and serious. Voting to reopen without funding to provide an ACA solution clearly betrays even this low bar.

On November 8, 2025, in Chicago, a masked ICE or CBP GOON point-blank sprayed pepper spray at worried neighbors, including several elderly individuals, after causing a car accident.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.
