Trump is absolutely not going to do any of the things that were promised.

Americans deserve better than the eight Democratic Senators who voted on a promise, without a guarantee, to protect the Affordable Care Act.

Chuck Schumer's favorite movie is the one where a terrorist threatens the police negotiator that he will kill a hostage unless he gets the getaway plane. The cop refuses, so the terrorist kills a hostage, and then the cop says OK and gives the terrorist a private jet.

What I most like about this is two people, albeit people with high-profile jobs, still act normal and eat a simple meal together. This is incredibly rare in public PR.
A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.
But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

The good news here is the MAGA faithful probably feel like this is what will keep their most rabid base engaged and happy. This is an early form of desperation; they see the support will break eventually with the economic catastrophe that's on the way.

Make no mistake, Hegseth’s ordering all US military leadership to a political speech is step one in remaking the military in the image of MAGA. American cities will be under siege within the next year in the lead-up to the 2026 election.

If Putin were interested in ending his illegal attack on Ukraine, he would not be increasing the number of soldiers preparing to fight in the war.
Russian Troops, Gaza Peace Plan, More Tariffs
Putin calls up more conscripts for Ukraine, Trump's Gaza peace plan is a laughable mess, and the Congress has no idea where US tax revenue is being spent.

Excellent reporting! This number is simply astonishing. That is over 10K cancellations every hour for a week (or 2.8 per second). Imagine the costs and time necessary to acquire 1.7M customers. 🤯 This is a colossal self-own that should cost Bob Iger his job.
SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

America fully intends to have a military conflict with Venezuela. Whether Trump intends to limit his illegal aggression to air or naval combat or if he plans a ground invasion is anyone’s guess.

Regarding the shutdown. Dems should do nothing, ask for no concessions, perform no debates. Give MAGA free rein to do as they like, and make it widely known Dems pose no obstruction. Let Trump do as he wants. Non participation is the only defense in the case when your opponent lies constantly.
