Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."

None of his jokes are jokes. He doesn't tell jokes. At best, they're veiled threats. Usually, they're quite specific.

Nice to see Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, and Warren pushing back on Schumer’s weak AF midterm strategy, but talk is not enough because he ain’t changing.
One of them needs to step up and challenge him for the leadership slot. Right now!

The destruction of the federal government disproportionately affects black women. The federal civil service has long been a good career option because of the strong equal opportunity enforced in the civil service that has historically blunted the double discrimination that black women face.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

It’s their standard move and also the easiest thing in the world to disprove, so you’ve got to assume any interviewer who doesn’t correct them is pulling for Trump
I *hate* that interviewers have given up on even gentle pushback when Trump's people confidently assert that they inherited "an absolute economic mess" and therefore had no choice but to set about restructuring the entire U.S. economy

This is not a “peace deal”. It’s a 28-point surrender plan drafted and leaked to US media by Russia, and Trump treated it like it was his own. Rubio admitted as much to senators.
