🚨 NEW: Trump was reportedly warned about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s relationship with an alleged Chinese spy — and did NOTHING. Marco Rubio oversaw a classified memo warning top officials. Yet Trump continued embracing Huang as the CEO pushed to loosen restrictions on AI chip sales to China.

NEW: Four escalatory actions against Iran in just four days following the midterms. New sanctions. A new task force. Continued U.S. strikes. The American people demanded an end to this war. The Trump administration is escalating instead.

This is not about "left" vs "right" anymore — and it hasn't been for a long time. The oligarchy feels safer if people split along the old “left” vs.“right” battle lines, so they won’t notice they’re being shafted and won't join together to fight back.

It’s always the same. The Tea Party protests were *insanely small* compared to No Kings, yet the media responded by giving Tea Party Republicans a televised slot to reply to Obama’s SOTU in addition to the regular GOP response.

I love* the fact that the media spent years telling us the country had changed forever because of an R +1.5 environment and when it's a D +13 environment they're like "woah there partner, this probably doesn't mean anything."

There's so much going on in this tweet that flips Trump v. US on its head I hope @whitehouse.senate.gov will hold a hearing on it.

This was an extremely unpopular tweet, partially because people misunderstood the intent & partially because Bluesky is a tiny homegenous hothouse filled with libs who establish their relative status by using the most heated & extreme rhetoric. Notheless, let me explain what was on my mind.

I would just beg everyone, very much including elected Dems, to vigorously reject the words "retribution" & "revenge." Do not say them. Object when others say them. That's not what's happening here. The words you want are "accountability" & "rule of law."

The Dana White thing is the top story on NPR this morning which reinforces my sense that this is really just intended to to grab the narrative from Dems and reinstall Trump as the main character. Expect more and more desperate stunts like this - but we can ignore them!

Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States. I have requested that he bring with him assistants … Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job!”

The American people sure made a statement on Tuesday.   These must be some of our top priorities in the majority:   🔘 End the illegal war in Iran 🔘 Lower health care, gas, and grocery costs 🔘 End the asinine trade war with Canada 🔘 Take on corporate consolidation and confront corruption

Congress has not just the Constitutional power of oversight, but the sacred responsibility to carry it out. The American people made themselves heard last Tuesday. We will not be deterred from holding this administration accountable.

Trump calls for Democrats who have sent oversight letters and messages to Republicans to be imprisoned and orders Todd Blanche to investigate

Mercy for criminals. Cruelty for victims. Donald Trump calls it justice.   A new CBS News investigation found that since January 2025, Trump's pardons and acts of clemency have wiped out at least $119 million in court-ordered restitution owed to victims of crimes.

The election may be over, but the fight to get big money out of politics isn’t. I support the Citizens Over Corporations Amendment to curb corporate influence in our elections and restore trust in government. Our democracy should work for people, not corporations.

Our nation’s election system survived a major stress test this week, thanks to the work of so many state and local officials. That’s something we all can feel good about.

Third way is upset about those “leftier swingy” states. Pretty sure they are unable to say Progressive. “Voters Want Democrats Focused On Costs—Not DSA policies or impeachment. This election was a referendum on Trump, not a mandate to lurch to the left” www.thirdway.org/memo/moderat...

FOX NEWS: The DSA had a really good night. But Third Way has cautioned against reading too much into that MAMDANI: I'm sure they have 😀

Fair warning, this is rage inducing but important. I can't help but think of all the dollars going into Trump cronies pockets while this happens.

The Trump admin bullied one of our top astrophysicists into moving to the Netherlands. Even just the day after the 2024 election, her Black students were sent anonymous texts to report to “the nearest plantation.” Then Trump threatened to halve NASA’s science budget. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/07/s...

Democrats will have the ability to subpoena records and compel individuals to testify. The Epstein files, Elon Musk, the Iran war and Trump's business interests may all come under the microscope.

El-Sayed on Trump & Miller: "He decides to hire the most broken man to continue to run the most dysfunctional WH we've seen. I don't know what Stephen Miller has actually contributed to our culture, our society, in any real way, except to make us more angry & stoke the worst kind of fear & vitriol"

"I'm really open to see who can fill Trump's footsteps, not just the next person in line," one told Fox News Digital.” So they just want another flavor of crazy? www.foxnews.com/politics/mag...
