Thought this year we’d get by without one of these posts… but then came Trump’s late-night “Happy Thanksgiving” rant. His dangerous rhetoric continues to divide this country when we need unity the most.

🧵 1/3 Anyone else notice that Vaccines.gov the federal vaccine locator is just… broken?

And honestly, would any of us be shocked if it never comes back, given that HHS took it over from CDC this summer?

They picked the wrong veteran to screw with.

Meiselas: If Trump was just some crappy, scummy billionaire who lived in Florida, do you think I'd give a crap? My issue is this freaking loser, this con artist, this grifter, this scammer has brought his life of scamming, bankrupting and destroying to the American people, who are now suffering.

If any of this were true, Trump wouldn't have cancelled the GDP and Jobs reports. He's a delusional liar.

Even Trump wants to extend Obamacare tax credits—but Republicans stopped him Tick, tock: the GOP is desperately trying to run out the clock on ACA subsidies.

Tick, tock: the GOP is desperately trying to run out the clock on ACA subsidies.

Mark Kelly knows exactly what political violence looks like. The fact that the Pentagon is investigating him for urging troops to refuse illegal orders, even as Trump calls for political enemies to be punished, shows how dangerous this administration has become.

Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.

Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.

They're selling out their own voters.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
