And at high noon, we play Alice's Restaurant Massacree (Arlo Guthrie). It is a tradition that now spans decades. I hope my children carry it forward.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

May we all appreciate that we have more in common than not.

Trump and Pete Hegseth's latest 'stupid political play' will come back to haunt them: host

It's not about winning. They know they can't win.

It's about harassing their critics.

It costs time and legal fees.

That's what scares people away from speaking truth to power.

Speaker Johnson said he'd release the GOP healthcare plan just as soon as the government opened back up.

Still waiting.

There doesn't seem to be anyone steering the DNC ship.

The party should be rallying, but it just lolls about without direction or messaging.

Their winning strategy just seems to be letting Trump shit all over everyone. It didn't work last time.
Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day.

Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone.

The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place.

WHYYYYY

When the economy of Venezuela started to tank, Maduro stopped releasing official key economic data.

Trump is just copying the Maduro playbook.

Our servicemen shouldn't be given unlawful orders that come from the highest authority.

It forces them to make a moral and ethical decision or face punishment.

But here we are. The consequence of having a president with no moral compass.

They literally teach the UCMJ at the War College, and they define the differences between lawful and unlawful orders.

Ordering a subordinate to shoot unarmed civilians that pose no immediate threat is an unlawful order.

This is why Trump MUST be impeached. He has no moral compass.

And don't forget about those big gold crosses they wear to let everyone know that they're Christian.

And then defend Trumps multitudes of sins. And fresh new ones daily.

Let us be so moved as a country.
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

If I'm a republican in Congress, now is probably a good time to start opposing Trump.

Trump has a nasty way of bringing down everyone that props him up. Eventually, they are disbarred, imprisoned, sued, or worse.

He can't protect you forever. Get on the right side of history.

Impeach.

Rebates and tax credits serve to redistribute income. I'm not saying it's all bad, but it's certainly not all good.

Of course, these are largely paid by the working class. They are a TAX no matter what you call them.

Both parties keep draining the same well until there's only wealthy and poor.

I'm with Kat.
The stakes are too high to wait: we need to impeach Trump now.

I’ll be speaking at the Remove the Regime rally in Washington, DC this Saturday. I hope to see you there!

Speaker Johnson doesn't know how to read a room.

Also, Speaker, if you look around the house and you don't know who the fall guy is... it's you!

One no vote. The village idiot.

And Johnson shut down Congress for weeks to prevent the vote.

It's looking lonely for those two clowns.

What is the Secretary of Treasury Bessent smoking.

He looks higher than the moon every time he's on TV.

And the crazy shit that comes out of his mouth? He's high? Right?

Trump would love Maduro.

Groceries (meager rations) are distributed by the government to neighborhood collectivos and then dispersed to households (if they have a party card).

Maduro controlls their congress and courts and rules by decree.

They vote for president, but they don't even count em.

I'm almost certain people can negotiate with insurance companies to get a private family healthcare plan for as little as 25k a year with an 8k deductible.

But for the few thousand bucks the GOP "plan" is offering, expect to hear laughing.

The GOP plan is "try not to get sick."

Any bets that 50% of the Epstein documents are going to be deemed classified and another 49% tied up in instant "investigations"?

All we'll see are the receipts for jet fuel.

Classified is forever, and investigations can go on for years.

Buh-bye Speaker Johnson. Your days as Speaker are numbered.

Your reputation, your legacy is soiled.

You were a faithful cuck for Trump, but you were supposed to be working for the people.
