218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits. If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Hats the worst that could happen? The gen pop might see fishermen cleaning to boat wreckage for their lives, trying to be saved, before another bomb blows them up? Yeah.. maybe that.

MOMENTS AGO: Defense Secy. Pete Hegseth after briefing lawmakers on the Sept. 2 boat strike says, "We are not going to release a top secret, full, unedited video of that to the general public."

I understand that America is divided, but i sincerely hope that when we awaken from this fever dream we can all agree that murder, even mass murder, is bad and actions must be taken to prevent them.

Trump on the shooting at Brown University: “Things can happen”

This admin repeats the lie that not supporting fascism is the exact same as belong to Al Queda and ISIS. Millions of Americans and our allies died fighting fascism while our current dear leader is a draft dodger and continuously mocks our service members for their sacrifices

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

The PCE “cooled” to 2.8%, well above the 2% mandate, factor in the massive job loss to SME businesses and you’ve got stagflation. the Feds should pause rates but I’m guessing they’ll cut to appease our lord and savior, dosey don

This is wild. Definitely pay attention to what happens here

BREAKING: The December 8-9 evidentiary hearing for vindictive and selective prosecution in the Abrego case has been CANCELLED. Previously, Abrego's attorney filed a motion to dismiss without the evidentiary hearing over the news about Costa Rica. A sealed order was filed yesterday.

According to ADP’s most recent jobs report, small businesses (employing < 50), lost over 120k jobs last month. McDonald’s and Chipotle earnings lamented a lack of low-income customers (high earners trade down in recessions) Current trade policies are killing the bottom 80% of America.

Trump pardoned 10 people charged in the Jan 6 fight against democracy for every LEO injured at the capitol. He’s now claiming Executive Privilege, making cuckolds of Congress and SCOTUS. innocent people don’t do this. Don’t listen to ur parents kids, Dosey Don is proof that crime pays.

According to internal docs, OpenAI is projected to lose $74B in 2028 alone. It’s already raised $60B since founding. Which means investors chose Sam Alton over 134,000 other $1M seeds. Honestly, they’d probably have better odds, putting it all into state lotteries

Republicans vow to give wealthy more control over the US elections … bc it’s been working out so well for the majority. To be clear - we need stricter campaign finance laws, with real teeth, not legalized oligarchs www.vox.com/politics/470...

Tariffs: from the American wallet > government revenue > and then right back to the … corporations pocket I’m glad Costco is stepping up after ~9 months. I can’t verify if they passed on tariffs (in)directly or not, but the precedent will be set www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the Moscow-aligned “No New Wars” Trump family will abandon Ukraine in overwhelming support for our archenemy while entering a new forever-war-for-oil in Venezuela. It’s like grandad would say “kids these days have too many limbs”

A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves.
