Trump turns Congress speech into a sordid campaign rally, igniting a Democrat fightback

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

One further thought after today’s Substack post: on tariffs, Trump has been more extreme than his campaign, despite urgent warnings from business. Any reason to believe he won’t go all-in on mass deportations? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/america-is...

It depends on how much they are lying about everything. Deepseek is good. It's open source. But they aren't transparent about the economics. At least from what I have read so far. Would love everyone in the industry to please opine !

Lots of Trump voters have kids going to college on FAFSA, use Medicaid and enjoy lots of govt programs they didn't have to think about until today. Our full-time job should be telling those people EXACTLY who took those programs away It's a simple message and easy to repeat

More than a year ago, my husband, a creative director, was laid off from the tech industry. Since then, he's been freelancing. One of his main sources of income was for a nonprofit with a DEI mission. Guess what happened since the election? 1/

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

So to clarify, the pediatric cancer research funding bill in the Senate that Republicans said never passed because of Schumer was actually held up by Rand Paul the entire time. Yet another lie.

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

Just saw the people asking — my daughter is doing great. Thyroid cancer. But it was well contained, no signs of spread in her lymph nodes. Partial thyroid removal, but everything looks great. Again, if you work at any part of a hospital with the word “pediatric” on the wall, God bless you.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

If you are beginning a social media post with "Elon Musk is right" as Musk is literally part of the incoming administration and randomly threatening to prosecute Americans for opposing Trump, then you would be better off saying nothing at all. Yes, I'm talking about Bernie Sanders.

It's probably not a good day to remind people that Trump's son in law walked away from his White House gig with $2 billion from the Saudis. I'll wait until you're finished being mad at Joe pardoning Hunter for being his son.

I love this idea that Biden pardoning Hunter will somehow ‘justify’ or ‘excuse’ Trump pardoning the Jan 6th prisoners, ignoring the fact that: 1. Trump had promised to pardon them long before Biden did this. 2. There is nothing comparable between Hunter’s crimes & their crimes.

These losers do this because their only shot at companionship is a hostage situation, so they spend all day harassing people into thinking a woman’s self worth should resemble their own. If they tried being kind and not approaching every relationship as a transaction, they would be much happier

Home insurance in areas hit by repetitive disasters is going to be the number one housing affordability issue over the next 4 years. And possibly going into the midterms. More so than interest rates. Florida in particular is going to have huge problems.

Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's dad while Jared worked in the White House, then yesterday appointed Jared's dad as an ambassador, but Polis didn't have the same energy for that. Pathetic stuff that I for one won't soon forget.
