Holy shit, a whopping 56 percent of Americans DISAPPROVE of trump's abysmal handling of the economy. This is lower than any other point even in his first term. PASS IT ON.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Trump tonight on Elon Musk: "He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like, in a landslide. So it was pretty good. Pretty good. So thank you to Elon."

A reminder that Trump, the luckiest man on earth, like in 2017, is inheriting a strong, growing economy with months & months of job growth & growing real wages (even though most Americans don’t know it!), & will almost certainly 1) take credit for it and 2) screw it all up again.

The S&P 500 rose more than 20% in Biden's final two years in office. That hasn't happened since Bill Clinton was President.

Um. What the fuck? “Elon was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon.” Did Donald Trump just admit he cheated in Pennsylvania?

Hey so any of the folks who claimed — without evidence — that Biden was profiting off of the Presidency: Any comment about Trump and his wife dropping new shitcoins on inauguration weekend?

What’s so effed up is that Trump not just releasing but celebrating so many people who assaulted and helped cause the deaths of police officers won’t do the kind of damage to the GOP’s rep on ‘law and order’ that a mere activist slogan (‘defund the police’) did to the Dems. The bias is real, folks.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

In the scheme of things, this is bad! Speaker Johnson just fired Rep. Mike Turner as House Intel Chair, despite claiming he “admires” him and praising his leadership. The real reason? Turner refused to bend the knee to Trump—we can bet his replacement will be a hardliner.

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 🤷🏽‍♀️

President Biden has worked tirelessly to negotiate a ceasefire in the Middle East. This administration spent a huge amount of resources on diplomacy. Biden is an expert on foreign policy & the best President in modern history. Sadly, we now we must endure the worst. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHdk...

The ultimate irony that Pete Hegseth complains that we have lowered the standards to join the military while he asks Senators to lower the standards for confirming a Secretary of Defense. Thank Senators Duckworth and Peters for pointing this out.

Hegseth very clearly branded himself as a Christian nationalist. the kind of misogynistic, hate your neighbor, fascist, alcoholic, steal-from-veteran-nonprofits kind of Christian. The GOP kind of Christian! Also, this corrupt loser couldn’t manage a McDonald’s! www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

BREAKING: The House GOP made it official: the SAVE Act is a top priority. But here's the thing: nearly 1 in 10 voting-age Americans can't easily prove their citizenship. This bill isn't about election integrity - it's about suppressing votes & maintaining power. #StopTheSAVEAct
