🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.”
😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.”
So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.

David Plouffe, a Coinbase adviser, is on MS NOW the same day that the Fairshake super PAC it bankrolls announces it will spend $30M vs. Sherrod Brown in #OHSen.
Last year, Sen. Tim Scott publicly thanked crypto industry "for getting rid of Sherrod Brown." Brown had called for consumer protections.
"The USA experienced declines in Free Political Parties, Effective Parliament, Access to Justice, and Judicial Independence, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of the Press, and Economic Equality. US scores on most of these measures are at their lowest levels since 1975"

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

Wow, an extraordinary generous offer from a Bolts reader:
Russ is offering to match any contribution you make to Bolts (just let him know)!
And he'll also throw in an additional $$ for each repost of his post, or each new follow @boltsmag.org gets. So at least smash those share or follow buttons!
Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget.
Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make.
The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
I have reached 450,000 people today. My message is this. There is one way back to normalcy, and that way is the Democratic Party. We have special elections coming up in a just a few months and a massive backlash election that restores our government in 21 months. Ride Or Die 💙 ☠️ 💙☠️💙

The words “ethics” or “ethical” do not appear even once in Chief Justice John Roberts’s end-of-year report.

Why is corporate media not covering this more? "House Dem Accuses Musk of Killing Initial Spending Deal to Protect His Investments In China." No debate that the second GOP budget bill took out the ban out on China investments and China is Musk's second biggest market www.mediaite.com/politics/hou...
"Medicare Advantage is neither Medicare nor an advantage. It is a house of cards built by Big Insurance to pad their profits with taxpayers' money." - @pocan.house.gov and Wendell Potter
All the talk about whether the GOP Senate will stand up to Trump’s terrible nominees, or whether he’ll make recess appointments, or prorogue Congress ignores the big elephant in the room: the Federal Vacancies Reform Act! The lame duck Senate should have the spine to hold confirmation hearings NOW!!
I’ve divorced myself from outcomes out of humility and necessity but here’s why I think @benwikler.bsky.social is the man for this moment.
The man made saving the ACA seem possible when it shouldn’t have been at all. The relentlessness from him and MoveOn help bring so many people into the fight.
