"It is Trump who makes cowards of them all. It is the hue of Republican resolution that is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of fear. So some brave souls like Olivia Troye risk everything to stand up to Trump, and the John Cornyns of the world will risk nothing." www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

Indeed.

If you were trying to come up with a nutty idea to waste tax dollars, "Hey, let's colonize Mars," would be right at the top. Want to cut government spending? Stop giving @elonmusk $20 billion for a fantasy that has zero positive impact for taxpayers. cnn.com/2024/11/20/b.... From cnn.com

Michigan’s first woman senator, Debbie Stabenow, said goodbye to the Senate today. She served our state and country with tireless work for her constituents. Thank you for your distinguished service, Senator. You are credit to public service. www.freep.com/story/news/p...

The incoming Trump administration is not sending their best. They’re sending people with big problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re rapists. They’re alcoholics. They’re criminals. And some, I assume, are good people 🤷🏽‍♀️

The Senate cannot give up its own power. Demand proper vetting, background checks, and clearances for every single one of Trump's nominees. If they can't pass that most basic check and balance of our Constitution they shouldn't serve. Don't call yourself a Constitutionalist if you won't follow it.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.

The key to preventing the worst kind of legislation from passing is to pressure vulnerable swing district GOP House members. All it will take is one or two defections! The GOP House majority is smaller than ever. Let’s paralyze it.

Trump pardoned Jared Kushner’s dad and wants him to be our ambassador to France, so shut the fuck up about Hunter Biden’s pardon.

I pray the pardon of Hunter Biden, which was the right thing to do, will be followed in short order by the commutation of the death sentences of every person on federal death row, and that Leonard Peltier will at long last be released. #ClearTheRow #FreeLeonardPeltier

It's no longer called boxed wine, the classy term is Cardboardeaux

The problem isn’t government waste. The problem is that billionaires don’t pay taxes.

Vaccines save lives. Vaccines are safe. As a polio victim & survivor i am grateful thot today kids dont have to go thru that nightmare- thanks to vaccines. Ignore unqualified fringe nut RFK Jr. The only thing of value he has going is his fathers name. And his father would surely be horrified.

Chef José Andrés has been to Ukraine and seen things there first hand. Now he’s invited Joe Rogan to go there with him, instead of spout Russian disinformation. Class act.
