What is the over/under on how long this tariff rollbacks will last?

Trump loves them too much for this strategy to last very long.

So what you’re saying is the non-release of the Epstein files is another example of Merrick Garland slow-walking justice.
November 14, 2025 at 6:16 PM
Trump is also laying the groundwork to not release the Epstein files by claiming there is an ongoing investigation.

The reason why Trump and Republicans are so gung-ho about cutting SNAP (and Medicaid, etc.) is because starvation is a tools to get poor Americans to take the jobs left empty by the deportation of immigrants

More like sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good

Tim Kaine realizes his first explanation of his vote didn’t go over that well with voters so he giving it another go.

Looking forward to his third try at an explanation after this one falls flat.

Portland should sue Fox”News” for damages. Not sure it would go anywhere but it may put Fox on their heels for a bit.

What does it say that Trump, who couldn’t be bothered to talk to Dems to end the longest shutdown on record, is now working his ass off begging Republicans to continue to hide the Epstein files?

Just spit balling—but maybe the 8 members of the Senate Democratic Cave Caucus should have actually read the bill before they betrayed their party/country
November 12, 2025 at 2:11 PM
There’s an argument for this —just not one these 8 Senators gave.

1) Republicans control gov’t
2) They won’t chg until R voters feel pain
3) Many R voters are low info
4) By Jan ‘26 lower ACA subsidies are real
5) Snap off the table in fight for next CR
7) this is a war not one battle

Not a Senator.
November 10, 2025 at 6:54 PM
You know what would really change the dynamic for the cave caucus—an ambitious Dem Senator publicly calling for Schumer to be replaced as minority leader.
November 10, 2025 at 5:46 PM
Schumer either 1) was in on the deal (99% chance since his #2 Durbin voted for it) or 2) lost the respect of his caucus.

Either way he needs to go.
November 10, 2025 at 5:05 PM
But it only takes 24 Democratic Senators to fire him as minority leader. And they can do that ASAP.
November 10, 2025 at 4:58 PM
Only thing guaranteed is that the House will never vote on it.
November 10, 2025 at 1:47 PM
This would have been the perfect time for Hegseth to use Republican’s favorite lie—“I never saw that tweet”

Interesting to see if the voters of Alabama realizes that electing the country’s dumbest Governor doesn’t own the libs, it just screws themselves.

Memo to next Dem President—Launch investigation into all colleges that caved to Trump’s demands.

Purpose: Determine if they compromised academic standards.

Threaten to withhold money/accreditation until every administrator/board member who voted for appeasement is removed.

Sometimes they also need a little push.

Nancy was facing a primary challenge so the gerontocracy was going to be an issue if she pursued reelection.
November 7, 2025 at 6:56 PM
Stefanik is desperate for face saving way to leave Congress.

Running for governor means she doesn’t have to run for reelection.

And when she loses(which I think she knows will happen) she will finally get an appointment in the Trump admin that she wanted for the past year.
November 7, 2025 at 6:20 PM
If when asked about this pardon Trump says he doesn’t know anything about it, then I assume that means the pardon isn’t valid.
November 7, 2025 at 5:22 PM
To be fair to Trump, he was still a little groggy from his mid-meeting nap.
November 7, 2025 at 3:47 PM
Dems don’t seem to very good at fixing poor preforming local parties.

In addition to NY, FL comes to mind.
November 7, 2025 at 3:23 PM
Doubt she is delusional enough to think she can win. But seeing how willing billionaire Republican donors are light their money on fire to fund candidates in NY elections, it’s a good way to grift some 💰
