Bessent nails a Triple Trumpcow: immigrants bringing diseased cattle across the border under Joe Biden are why beef is expensive. Never been landed in competition before. Kudos, Mr, Secretary!

I shit you not. I thought @SecWar was listing out Gay porn movie names. If these were real mission names soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines are LAUGHING THEIR ASSES OFF.

“Wait for Boomers to die” seems like bad housing policy to me.
Watters: Baby boomers will eventually pass away, and when they do, they will all do it at the same time, and then millions and millions of homes will become available like that.

Congrats to the MAGAfied police unions. He’s backing the blue by pardoning domestic terrorist threatening to shoot law enforcement officers.
UPDATE: Trump has also pardoned Suzanne Kaye, who was sentenced to 18 months for threatening to shoot FBI agents who wanted to interview her about her attendance on Jan. 6. https://t.co/IaayShAWY9

Whatever your view of Maher, and mine are very mixed, this is a fantastic analysis of where Democrats are.
.@TheDemocrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the party's future, but unfortunately, it's the Republican Party.

Nothing says "I'm fighting for you, hardworking, economically stressed Americans," like accepting a gold bar in exchange for lowering tariffs.
1. Raise tariff 2. Collect bribes 3. Reduce tariff It's really that simple. The challenge with describing the economic strategy of the Trump admin is that it's not an "economic" "strategy," it's a "create pain -> collect payoff" mafia formula run over and over again, and admin

“We need to keep the focus on where this belongs: Trump and Republicans having taken away health care from millions. Internecine warfare among Democrats is bonkers and should stop.” @ThirdWayMattB tells @ec_schneider @lisakashinsky on Dem infighting: https://t.co/UQsITslZJy

Democrats’ split decision on how to handle health care subsidies is further inflaming tensions within the party.

I have been in the King’s palace in Saudi Arabia (traveling with then-VP Gore), and there is far less gold crap there.

"Dems will aggressively prosecute the case against Republicans on health care," @ThirdWayMattB tells @lisakashinsky. "They will say Republicans yanked lifesaving money away from millions of Americans to fund tax cuts for the rich. And that will have the benefit of being true.”

missed this. But Third Way opposed the agreement to end the shutdown. “Ultimately, Democrats may not have succeeded in extending the ACA subsidies, but now we will never know. To paraphrase Bill Clinton, one of America’s most pugnacious Democratic centrists, we should have been

Area man with billions rails at folks living paycheck to paycheck for complaining about being forced to work for free and drive ubers in the off hours to pay the rent.
Trump: All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially “docked.”… I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU.

Congrats on stopping SNAP payments to hungry Americans. Glad that President Trumps agenda of starvation is working out for you.
The Supreme Court just granted our administrative stay in this case. Our attorneys will not stop fighting, day and night, to defend and advance President Trump’s agenda.

Great and important piece. All Democrats should read this.
“A New Kind of Old Fashioned Democrat!” The Democratic Party must return to its roots and get back to fighting for the middle-class and those aspiring to it. Read my op-ed in Newsday. https://t.co/UTUWS7JAFQ

I was in the suite next to the Gores. I will never forget the elation when they called Florida for us and the despair when they took it back.
25 years ago today: the most consequential presidential election of my lifetime. 36 days later, it was effectively decided by the Supreme Court. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who voted with the majority, would later she regretted that the court accepted the case.

Nancy Pelosi was the greatest Speaker of the House of Representatives in American history. Throughout her career, she has led with courage, grace, and clarity, including through times that tested the very heart of our democracy. I’ve always admired her strength, her character and

Well, at least he didn't go for the grinning thumbs up pose he's done at funerals and natural disasters.

I admit to my former Gore staffer bias here, but in the field who’s picking him?
YouGov poll | 11/4 Which of the following do you think has been the worst vice president in recent years? 🟥JD Vance 33% 🟦Kamala Harris 32% 🟦Joe Biden 7% 🟥Dick Cheney 6% 🟥Mike Pence 3% 🟦Al Gore 1% Not sure 18%

This is not Zohran Mamdani’s America. Outside New York, democratic socialism lost. New editorial looks at four blue municipalities: Austin, Detroit, Minneapolis and Nantucket.
