This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

North Carolina should be expanding access to health care, not restricting it. We can solve this on a bipartisan basis. The legislature needs to come back and fully fund Medicaid.

GOLDMAN: If that officer's conduct was 'beneath the men and women of ICE,' why did you reinstate him?

NOEM: Sir, that investigation was competed. I can give you that investigation.

GOLDMAN: I wrote you two months ago. Why haven't I gotten it yet?

NOEM: I'm surprised you haven't gotten it

Do it. Take these to another grand jury. Then a 2nd and a 3rd, until we get a breaking news story about how much you suck at this. And if you do manage to get a true bill, we can watch you lose again in pretrial motions. Do it! I live to watch you lose! www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
DOJ deciding whether to seek new Comey, James indictments
The department could forgo an appeal of Lindsey Halligan’s disqualification and instead seek to bring new charges against James Comey and Letitia James.

Trump law-lackey, Emil Bove, faces a judicial complaint for attending a highly charged Trump political rally.

My latest on the ethics complaint and why Bove’s just digging his own grave by failing to keep a distance from the toxic Trump.

Today was our last chance in Congress to save the Affordable Care Act subsidies that help people afford care before they expire at the end of the year.

And what did Republicans do? They voted NO.

The GOP just blocked extending the ACA subsidies - again.

Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.
