Today I’m meeting with a group of researchers and activists to discuss how Democrats win back young men. What questions would you be most interested in asking?

QUICK: A lawyer said his client testified that she had not only saw Gaetz pay for sex with women but engage in sex with a 17-year-old at a drug-fueled party. Does that concern you?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Well, if that is true ...

A young content creator yesterday bluntly told me that if politicians are too "busy" to meet with people who aren't fundraisers or donors than we should not be surprised when millions say they are too busy to show up to vote.

Hateful. Dangerous. Unnecessary. Trans people represent one half of one percent of Americans. Mind your own damn business and let them be.

This person has me blocked so I can't reply to them directly, but as far as I know, Trump has never said anything about UBI on the record. He has however pitched food boxes to replace SNAP, and also stricter welfare work requirements, so I highly doubt he'd do unconditional cash.

BREAKING via NYT

An unidentified hacker has gained access to a computer file shared in a secure link among lawyers whose clients have given damaging testimony related to Matt Gaetz, the former Florida congressman who is President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice to be attorney general.

The file of 24 exhibits is said to include sworn testimony by a woman who said that she had sex with Mr. Gaetz in 2017 when she was 17, as well as corroborating testimony by a second woman who said that she witnessed the encounter.

(Florida’s age of consent is 18 so the act described above would be considered statutory rape)

For all those who are terrified of trans people and believe this is more important than any other issue, can you please let me know just once when a trans person harmed you? One personal, specific story please.

87% of Democrats and a majority of Americans want Medicare for All and we cannot even get a floor vote on it.

Focus on the people. My goodness.

Biden locks in $6.6B for TSMC chip factories, ensuring Trump can’t rescind CHIPS Act deal. “For the next two months, you’ll continue to see Commerce finalizing more awards, ensuring progress made to date will carry forward through the end of the decade.” https://t.co/R4Os6vQ3n8

I do not recall these “incredible public health policies.” Because what actually happened was that your “leadership” during COVID was such a disaster it condemned over 700K Americans to die PREVENTABLE DEATHS. You mass murdered us then got most people to forget about it somehow.

Trump's demand for recess appointments is about more than his nominees. I wrote about his viewthat following the Constitution is negotiable: "Once Republican Senators bypass one provision of the Constitution at Donald Trump’s behest, they’re all up for grabs." https://t.co/xhdydZB2PJ

Here is a pro-Israel member of a congressional commission suggesting a congressional critic of Israel and a pro-Israel lobby group is a terrorist who might get assassinated by Israel. Hi-larious!

Trump is using Fox as a staffing agency. Duffy is the sixth announced administration pick that works or worked at the network. https://t.co/tRyXetBOyR

Hegseth is so innocent he paid off the woman who accused him of rape & got her to sign an NDA.

Gaetz is so innocent he resigned Congress to keep the report from coming out, after asking DT for a pardon.

Trump is so innocent only 26 women accused him of doing what he said on tape he likes to do.

Trump: Foreign countries pay tariffs. Customers don't.

American retailers, now including the biggest retailer: Customers are going to pay the costs of these tariffs.
