Republicans just wrapped a meeting on healthcare and not even pretending to have a plan.
They’re blaming Dems for the shutdown, as if that stopped them from doing the job. They were still getting paid, they could have been working the entire time.
15 years of whining about Obamacare—still nothing!

Trump is constantly Projecting, just about every time he opens his mouth on just about any subject, he is projecting.
Be assured, when he accuses anyone of a crime, he is talking about himself.

Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill says redistricting in New Jersey to eliminate MAGA republican seats just like what fascist GOPers did in Texas is on the table when she assumes office.
Good, every Democratic Governor should plan on doing the same in the near future.

The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation—

Whenever I read one of these transcripts, it's clear that Trump represents a colossal failure for the US political system
Electors should have stopped it in 2016. 14th Amendment should have stopped it in 2024. Cabinet could stop it now with 25th Amendment but won't. Congress won't impeach. WTF

What’s happening at the Supreme Court this week is bigger than just one FTC commissioner. The majority seems ready to endorse the “unitary executive” theory, giving Trump the power to purge agency staffers and replace them with loyalists. It’s a frightening prospect we should be paying attention to.
