@akarlin @RichardHanania America is a democratic republic. Our presidents shouldn’t live in a palace.

[KerryHowley @KerryHowley]

incredible what americans have been asked to sacrifice (civil liberties, a trillion dollars in questionable government spending) in the name of “national security” …. only for said security to be handed over to whatever this is

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

"Trump is a walking, breathing, all-encompassing security breach. Why?

Because he cannot understand the idea of 'national security.' His narcissism is so complete, so pathological, that 'national security' only exists as Trump’s security."

This is obviously all nonsense, but it's worth noting that Obama never got less than 51.1% of the popular vote in his two presidential campaigns. Trump never got more than 49.8% in his three.

Trump and Lutnick allegedly knew former NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang, had a relationship with a Chinese spy.

@reprichardneal and I are investigating why they bent over backwards to help NVIDIA sell advanced chips to shady Chinese companies.

We need answers. Now.

Folks. We are playing with fire.

Bird flu is a very bad disease

Allowing it to spread unchecked among cows and increasingly people is a very bad idea

We need both @USDA and @CDCgov to take this seriously and act now

Absolutely shocked that Donald Trump helped Putin so much and the American people got NOTHING out of the deal.

NOT SHOCKED.

OSSOFF BROKE TRUMP DOWN TO ATOMS IN 30 SECONDS.

“While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings. He golfs. He trades stocks.

He does not want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.”

Short. Clear. Painful.

Months after a fund tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump put about $30 million into a nearly bankrupt spa company, the Trump administration awarded that company nearly $40 million in federal contracts to screen for Ebola.

The company made most of its money from airport spas and waxing salons.

It had never worked with Ebola.

It had never worked overseas.

Yet part of the money is for work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people this year. The company's CEO said, "I'm not sure we can do it."

This keeps happening. The same Trump-linked fund invested in a drone company, and five months later that company got an Air Force contract worth up to $90 million. A startup linked to Trump Jr. got a $620 million Pentagon loan after a top White House aide stepped in.

Their fund buys in, and federal money follows. Taxpayers foot the bill, and with Ebola, our safety is on the line too.

This is all totally corrupt.

Americans deserve answers under oath, and our conflict of interest and procurement laws must be enforced.

150 years ago, Mississippi was ~60% black.

While it slowly declined to ~50% black 80 years ago and ~40% black today, there has not been one Black senator elected until now. About time

Arkansas Bar official Nancie Givens charged with 64 felonies for altering Bar Exam scores, and deleting thousands of files to hide her crimes.
Prosecutors noted she added scores to White test takers and took points away from Black attorneys, causing at least one to fail. https://t.co/jjSF1oQHNQ

They're back! It is nature's clock: as soon as Republicans lose power the climate protestors return with their signs and placards. No scientist knows where they go to hibernate when the GOP is destroying our environment. But at the first hint of liberal democracy they return. 1/

In June 1941, a mob in Baghdad killed almost 200 Jews in two days.

My grandmother hid in the back of a café while a man shot a mother’s seven children in front of her.

In 1948, Iraq made Zionism a crime punishable by death.

In 1950, it let Jews leave only if they gave up their citizenship.

In 1951, it froze their bank accounts and took their homes. My grandparents arrived in Israel that year with nothing.

In 1969, Iraq hanged nine Jews in a public square and invited crowds to celebrate.

A 2,500-year-old Jewish community didn’t just “disappear.”

It was ethnically cleansed.

Why can’t CNN acknowledge that?

CNN projects Cindy Holscher will be the next governor of Kansas.

“Holscher’s victory means right now more than 75% of the American people are living in states that have a Democratic governor”

Talarico: On election night, as I was delivering my victory speech, I noticed a woman up front. The lights were bright, so I couldn’t see her face, but I was struck by her attention, how closely she was listening, how much this moment meant to her.

As I finished speaking, I looked down again, and she had made her way to the front of the stage. I bent down to shake her hand, and I realized who she was.

She looked me in the eyes, and she said, “I’m so glad you have my father’s job.”

Lucy Baines Johnson was there to see another public school teacher take her dad’s Senate seat.

This new Reuters report is stunning.

A week before the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader, JD Vance reportedly met at a private Montana ski club with John Addison, an oil trader who had given $300,000 to help elect Vance to the Senate in 2022. Vance allegedly asked how fast Venezuela's oil could be sold if America took control of it.

Both men deny the meeting.

Flight records show their planes parked together that day.

Two days after the Venezuela operation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright called Addison and offered his company, Vitol, the job of selling Venezuela's oil. There was no public bidding. Vitol and one rival have since made hundreds of millions of dollars.

Addison and his wife also gave $7 million to help elect Trump, and he now chairs a board advising Secretary Wright.

Congress has a duty to act.

We should bring Secretary Wright, Vitol, and Addison in to testify under oath. We should demand the phone records, emails, and flight logs. We should find out whether anyone got a heads-up about a military operation. And we should require open, competitive bidding before any company profits from our foreign policy.

If nothing was wrong, let’s see the records.
