It is Thanksgiving Monday...time for this gem:

Two panel cartoon, King of the Hill;

Panel One: Dale Gribble driving, looking into the back seat at John Redcorn "Hey, do your people even celebrate Thanksgiving?"

Panel Two: John Redcorn with an angry face: "We did. Once."

As a parent of a child with autism, this isn’t just politics, it’s personal.

The federal gov’t firing special-needs staff in the Dept. of Education is a direct blow to families like mine. Our kids deserve better.

In Congress, I’ll fight to protect & fully fund special education.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
It was their final, most essential command.
And if all others accepted the lie, if all records told the same tale,
then the lie passed into history and became truth.

I mean, good! About time! But, there are more pressing matters. I agree that pharmaceutical ads need to stop. Leave it to the medical professionals. Enough with the campaign ads! Limit to 2 gruesome months before an election please.

Got to talk tariffs recently with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear - including how they're impacting working families and why our case going to the Supreme Court matters. (Watch 'til the end for a fun surprise...)

Ridiculous. There are no peer reviewed studies or research supporting this level of hysteria from DJT.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

In a Chicago suburb, Berwyn, IL, multiple ICE goons and a cameraman surrounded a resident who blew his horn and walked down the street in his own neighborhood. They demanded his ID and threatened to arrest him for impeding their audit.
