I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. My quite-canceling with the family side that's overwhelmingly Trump supporters was great! We had a nice dinner, enjoyed everyone's company, and no conspiracy theories with adults instructing children what to do if the school wants to do a sex change on them.
Who will Trump voters blame when they go shopping for a Silverado, Ram, or Ford Truck and this tariff gets added onto today's sticker price?
Trump announces that on his first day in office, he’s going to put a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada and an extra 10% tariff on China. Stock up on whatever you need before January 20 - everything is about to get more expensive. Groceries, cars, medications, all of it.
I'm convinced that he thinks "asylum seekers" are people coming out of an insane asylum from another country.
Does Trump think Secretary of "Urban Development" means a black guy? Despite having almost no black cabinet members, last term Trump had Ben Carson, and now he's nominated former football player Scott Turner for that role. Could he be this confused?
RFK is saying solving racism isn't a white people problem and it's a black people problem. The brain worm must have done more damage than we realized.
Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr.: If you give Black children “resilience” then “the inevitable racism” will “bounce off” them like they are “the Avengers” because “they will be immune to it” and “then we don’t have to stop racism altogether, because we’re never going to be able to do that.”

Trump's promises are as good as the "No Homework" and "Extra Recess" promises my class president made in 7th grade. Worthless.
President-elect Trump promised voters that he would cut energy and electricity prices in half within 18 months of taking office. But energy industry experts noted that a president has limited influence on how much Americans pay at the pump, and even less leverage when it comes to electricity prices.
In September, Putin said Russia would be "at war" with the US and NATO if Ukraine was allowed to conduct long-range missle strikes into Russia.
The U.S. is allowing Ukraine to use the powerful long-range weapons to strike in and around Kursk — the same region where some 10,000 North Korean troops were recently deployed.
An eloquently written account of what the girls and young women in our country feel about Trump's win.
Naomi Beinart, 16: "We girls woke up to a country that would rather elect a man found liable for sexual abuse than a woman...Where the body I haven’t fully grown into may no longer be under my control. The boys, it seemed to me, just woke up on a Wednesday."
"Progressives need to show they’re listening, acknowledging frustrations, and speaking directly to the issues young men care about. Failing to do so means watching Trump’s 56% grow..." - @davidpakman.bsky.social

Vivek Ramaswamy plans on cutting 75% of federal workforce. That's 2.2 million people who would be unemployed.
It's time for the Democratic Party leadership to follow Joe's lead. Step aside for the next generation to lead.
