They do claim to be the most transparent administration, so…
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

I’m old enough to remember a time when I didn’t need to wonder if a video of a president was fake- their normal, day-to-day behavior guided me
Trump is clearly not well.
At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

ACA tax credits expired on 12/31. Trump is not complying w Epstein release but what's come out is damning. Dead bodies in the Carribbean. Fragile peace in Ukraine and the Middle East. So House floor time next week will be dedicated to... rolling back shower head and energy efficiency standards.

Looking forward to speaking up even more in 2026
At the start of 2025, we knew this movement would play a pivotal role in the fight against authoritarianism.
Still, we’re blown away by the level of commitment and dedication you have shown throughout a difficult year.
Thank you for reminding the regime that power still belongs with the people.

Dr Oz on Trump lowering drug prices: "We woke the industry up to the fact that we were aware of what was happening. They said, 'Alright. The gig's up. You figured it out. We're gonna come down with our pricing.'"
