It's long past time for editorial boards across the U.S. to call for Trump to: (1) resign; (2) be removed via the 25th Am; and (3) to be impeached. They don't have to choose which way he should be removed, but they must explicitly argue that he cannot be allowed to remain POTUS.

So great! I wish my dad could see this.

@paulapoundstone AOC is on it along with Medicaid, Medicare and everything else that the Republicans decided to hit Americans with just after the midterms.

It's up to the rest of us to continue the messaging: This is the result of the Big Beautiful Bill rebranded as Working Families Tax Plan

Please spread the word that it is the Republican bill that will be throwing people off of their health care in January. They scheduled it that way to make it look like it was the Democrats.

Ben Meiselas has a message for Democrats:

"Subpoenas need to fly EVERY damn day."

"Every single committee, every damn day, doing oversight, subpoenaing people, calling them up, let them run scared, then go to court and sue their asses and force them to testify."

"We will live that every damn day"

The biggest story on planet Earth, this day and every day, is that the President of the United States is seriously unwell and allowed to continue in office - over the objection of a majority of Americans - despite being unfit, untethered, and unchecked. Unbelievable.

What struck me watching @GinaHinojosaTX right after the call: she took in the enormity of the win, then stepped into the role of Governor-elect with immediate dignity and gravitas. Like she was breathing it in.

"Bernie called, two weeks before Christmas in 2014 ... What would you do if you were me? Second Bill of Rights." And off I went to work for him in the Senate.

I always believed that returning to FDR was the unfinished business of the Democratic Party.

Jon Stewart: "Remove that system of seniority from Democratic politics, it is a bullshit system... They're already like 'Chuck Schumer deserves a lot of credit for putting together this--' Chuck Schumer fought tooth-and-nail against half of these fucking people."

No economist has ever explained the trap of being poor better than Terry Pratchett's boots theory.

A wealthy man buys a $200 pair of boots that lasts ten years.

A poor man can only afford $40 boots that leak after six months, so he spends $800 over the same ten years and still has wet feet.

Poverty isn't just a lack of money.

It's a continuous subscription fee for not having capital up front.

I have a history PhD from Oxford and try to support all of my historical claims with strong evidence, particularly when regarding the president of the United States.

But based on a comprehensive review of 250 years of American history, it is simply irrefutable that Donald Trump is by far the most corrupt president in U.S. history when it comes to using the office to enrich himself and his family.

Here are the facts, and why there isn’t even a close second.

Trump’s own federal financial disclosure reported more than $1.4 billion in 2025 income from family crypto ventures, including about $635 million from his meme coin and nearly $800 million from World Liberty Financial. Reuters separately estimated that the family added at least $2.3 billion to its fortune from crypto ventures after Trump returned to the White House.

The clearest example of how Trump used the office came in May 2025. The 220 biggest holders of his meme coin were invited to dine with the sitting president at his private golf club. The coin jumped more than 60 percent when the dinner was announced. To get a seat at the table, you had to buy and hold a product that made the president money. Trump turned access to the presidency into a sales pitch.

The foreign dealings raise an even more serious question. Four days before Trump took office, an investment vehicle backed by a UAE national security official agreed to pay $500 million for nearly half of World Liberty Financial. The Wall Street Journal reported that $187 million of the initial payment was directed to Trump family entities.

Trump is clearly not the first United States president to be guilty of corruption, but the size and scale of his malfeasance put him in a league of his own.

Under Ulysses S. Grant, whiskey distillers and federal officials pocketed money by cheating the government out of liquor taxes. Under Warren Harding, Interior Secretary Albert Fall took bribes in exchange for leasing federal oil reserves. Richard Nixon had a personal tax scandal, but his defining abuse of presidential power was the Watergate cover-up, an effort to protect his hold on office. LBJ’s political connections helped turn a small Texas radio station into a family broadcasting empire.

By September 2025, less than eight months into Donald Trump’s second term, he and his family were roughly $5 billion richer than they had been around the 2024 election, according to Forbes. In comparison, a reasonable estimate is that all 44 other U.S. presidents combined added about $250 million to their wealth while in office, adjusted to today’s dollars. That puts the Trump family’s gain at about 20 times the estimated combined total for all other presidents over the course of two and half centuries.

The election results were, at least in part, a clear repudiation of this staggering and historically unprecedented corruption. Congress now has a mandate to investigate, follow the money, pursue the recovery of all ill-gotten gains, and enact enforceable safeguards so that no president can ever again use the White House as a vehicle for personal enrichment.

A Palestinian child froze to death in Gaza this morning.

This brings the number of children who have died from the cold since last winter to 12.

That’s how you introduce a candidate

Then: took my first trip to DC on a coach bus after winning best safety patrol officer at Sherman Elementary (shout out ECASD!).

Now: flying to DC as Congresswoman-elect from WI-03.

Apparently “Dana W. White” who ran public affairs for Sec Def was recommended on a short list for Trump to put as Press Secretary.

Trump has instead announced “Dana White” of the UFC as Press Secretary with our Dana having any idea.

JFC!

QUICK REMINDER: Both Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries refused to support Zohran Mamdani in the primaries

🚨Having conducted FBI Background Checks for National Security Clearances for a number of years, I can attest that Dana White would Never pass a background check for a Secret or Top Secret Clearance which is necessary to hold that job.
Beyond that, this is total Madness. #Impeach

LOLOLOLOL

WHAT????

Jennifer Welch: “The era of prostitution politics must come to an end. The problem with this era ending right now is Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer engage in prostitution politics where they take money from big tech and they take money from AIPAC, the same people that try to ns’ free speech by calling them bigots if they criticize a government that is targeting little kids with snipers and shooting them in the head”

WATCH: In a stunning moment, Governor Andy Beshear explains the historic nature of these midterms:

“We’re going to have 30 governors in January who are Democrats. That’s the most we’ve had since 1992, so it’s our best election night ever. The other thing we’re going to have is a every single swing state.”
