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.

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

Oh swell.

. @cnn.com is partnering with Kalshi, the "world's largest global prediction market company."

That means the cable "news" network is now in business with the president's son, Donald Trump Jr., a senior adviser to the company.

Another reason not to watch.

There have been reports of volunteers in TN being harassed, and those incidents have been forwarded to local authorities. Everyone deserves to participate in our democracy without fear or intimidation. If you ever find yourself in a situation that feels unsafe, don’t hesitate to reach out for help.

This exposé is breathtaking. Witkoff and Kushner do not just have conflicts of interest - thy are deeply woven into a web of Russian influence peddling by "investments". Money, personal ties and geopolitics have become indistinguishable.

ProPublica found more than two dozen cases of immigration agents using "less lethal" weapons in ways that appear to flout the government's own rules, including by aiming at someone’s head, spine or groin or deploying chemical agents near children.

“I don’t think the extent of Trump’s rapid decline and his administration’s current collapse has fully been appreciated. I think December will be a very eventful month with far more deterioration than anyone expects. It’s becoming exponential with each passing day.”
From @meiselasb.bsky.social:

"In the span of about one hour around midnight on Monday, Donald Trump posted and reposted approximately 400 messages that included some of the most deranged conspiracies."

Um, this is not OK.

“Trump’s refusal to acknowledge any duty of care for those he puts in harm’s way is among the most contemptible of his many contemptible traits.”
"Trump rarely faces direct consequences for his shameful rhetoric. That’s because in the past Republicans have largely refused to abandon him no matter what he says or does. But there are signs that's now changing."
