Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
WHOA!!! Cory Booker unleashed absolute HELL on the Judiciary Committee floor as they voted to advance Todd Blanche to the Senate. 💥
No fluff, zero filter, just pure real-time accountability.
That's the fire we need. 🔥🍿
Republicans are wrecking America’s future.
Republicans drove up the FY2025 deficit to $1.8 Trillion.
Interest on the debt alone was $970 billion
Republicans spent more tax dollars on debt interest payments than USA’s national defense.
Biggest deficits, debt & budgets ever.
Something has to be done about Citizens United.
Since January 2010 we’ve had unlimited money go to politicians.
Campaign donations are up eight times since then and 36% of all that money is coming from the top 0.1% of the population.
You think those people are donating out of patriotism?
They are buying protection. Corporate tax cuts. No antitrust enforcement. No breakups. No accountability.
And it is working perfectly.
We used to bust monopolies in this country. Teddy Roosevelt made it a centerpiece of American democracy.
The idea was simple — concentrated power in the hands of a few is a threat to everyone else.
We don’t do that anymore.
Not because the monopolies got more virtuous. Because the monopolies got better at buying the people who would have stopped them.
This is not a left issue or a right issue. This is a math issue.
When 36 cents of every dollar in politics comes from a fraction of a fraction of the population — those are the only people getting served.
The rest of us are just paying for the system that ignores us.
Reform Citizens United. Bring back antitrust enforcement. Or watch it get worse.
Loved my time on @RealTimers@billmaher
Within hours of the Epstein file release,
a superPAC funded by Israel-first billionaires Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson, who himself appears in Epstein’s black book,
bought another $800,000 of TV ads against me.
I’ll still win, but if I lose, it was worth it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone except the spineless members of Congress who worked 87 days this year with full pay and benefits, and then stripped healthcare from millions and left for vacation. I hope you all have exactly the year you deserve.
“Last night’s speech reveals Trump has no sense of how he might save his foundering presidency, or even much of an inclination to try to do so. A rough holiday season lies ahead. Which is good. A weaker Trump administration is better for America.”

The Trump era is ending. When top advisors feel emboldened to speak so candidly, something’s up. And I think the reaction to Rob Reiner, by all accounts a decent person with a troubled child from both the right and left is more than a surface crack.

Soybean farmer reacts to Trump’s bailouts:
“We don't want a bailout. Bailouts don't work. Bailouts are band-aids. That's money that should be going towards senior citizens. That's money that should be going toward the Affordable Care Act. That's money that should just be going to regular tax cuts for normal Americans. What Trump is doing is destroying our markets, and when those markets disappear, we're not gonna get them back”
Ahead of Kennedy hearing, GOP saw poll showing Trump voters support vaccines.
Weird they needed a poll to tell them this. It's just COMMON SENSE!
Wish they had asked them BEFORE they put a crackpot in charge! https://t.co/OEh6wino3z
