We gotta stop throwing America’s sons and daughters into the damn meat grinder of war just so Raytheon and the military industrial complex can make a shiny penny.

The idea that Trump took a $25 million bribe not to bust Nvidia for sharing secrets with China seemed really out there until the interview with Trump yesterday where he’s lavishing praise on CEO Jensen Huang.

I have notes

I realize I’m in a tiny minority here, but I consider Nvidia selling sensitive AI tech to a Chinese front org after Trump approved the sale despite warnings from US intelligence and Congress about security concerns to be a much bigger story than the Dana White foolish distraction.

As a 9/11 widow who has spent 25 years fighting for truth and justice, I have seen far too much of how Washington operates.
The allegations involving Susie Wiles, glyphosate, corporate lobbying and liability protections deserve serious investigation. But the questions shouldn’t stop there!
Look at Ballard Partners. Reportedly paid $720,000 to advance Saudi Arabia’s interests in Washington, while @motleyrice a law firm representing 9/11 families still litigating against the Saudis also hired Ballard this year.
Does anyone see the problem here?
Who is representing the American people, and who is representing the powerful interests seeking influence over our government and courts?
I want full disclosure of these lobbying relationships, financial arrangements and potential conflicts of interest. And where the evidence warrants it, an independent investigation.
After 25 years, I’ve had enough of watching money and influence overshadow accountability.
This isn’t about Republicans versus Democrats. It’s about a Washington establishment that too often appears to serve everyone BUT the American people.
Follow the money. Disclose the conflicts. Investigate the influence. Nobody should be above accountability.

I’m biased as he is my member of Congress but I’d like to see @jamie_raskin as Speaker of the House.

Jeffries is the wrong person to be Speaker of the House. The landslide is not only about inflation. He ignores the nationwide fury of voters at Trump for corruption, criminality, tariffs, abuse of immigrants, starting & losing a war with Iran, and appointing thugs like Hegseth, Noem and Blanche.
Jeffries swore an oath to uphold the constitution. That includes stopping crimes that are IN PROGRESS by Trump like selling pardons, phony prosecutions of his enemies and the Epstein files cover-up. The economy and Trump‘s criminality can both be tackled by the House at the same time if we have a Speaker with backbone.
The Republicans doing their election postmortems are more realistic than the comments from Jeffries. Just stick to being a rep and we’ll get someone dynamic to be Speaker.

And a special, heartfelt greeting from Ukraine goes out to outgoing House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Yes, the very same Mike Johnson who, for six months, at the behest of his boss, who wasn’t even president at the time, disgracefully refused to bring the Ukraine aid bill to a vote, even though the U.S. Congress was perfectly ready to pass it.
I hope the fallen Ukrainian soldiers and the ruins of Avdiivka will haunt your dreams.

This is retired 3-Star Navy Admiral Nancy Lacore fired after 35 years of service by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for not being loyal to Trump. She is now the Congresswoman elect in SC 1 replacing Nancy Mace. She will be important in his impeachment

Over 300,000 signatures to STOP HAKEEM JEFFRIES!!! After signing the petition in the post below, contact your House rep. and tell them the people demand a Speaker who takes no AIPAC money and no corporate money.
270,000 people have already signed the petition to STOP HAKEEM JEFFRIES from becoming speaker.
Democrats are not going to get away with their corporatist agenda anymore.
The people are waking up and done with the corruption in both parties!!! c.org/hGcqfLkdSK

Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries,:
"The American people don't want us to get even"🤔

The GOP has an opportunity to do some serious soul-searching. Trump has presided over two of the biggest midterm losses in history.
They could return to independent thought and actual policies, or they could keep slamming their dicks in the car door.
I’m betting on the door.

Good morning. My dog is a good boy and The People have spoken.
So many thoughts. So many feelings.
Like many of you reading this, I am on almost no sleep. But who needs sleep at a time like this?
I'm thinking about how TRUTH shone through. Enough people saw, recognized, and acted.
I'm thinking about how badly Trump and his minions OVERREACHED. And they probably still will.
I'm thinking how badly I want to move past ABERRANT PERSONALITIES - bullies and megalomaniacs and Cluster Bs will always exist, we can't aspire to be them, imitate them, or give the highly disordered among us so much access to power.
I'm thinking - or hoping - that HUMANITY played a part in this. Empathy IS good. Courage IS contagious.
I'm hoping that all of this converges so that we rediscover THE GREATER GOOD. This always has been what we should aspire to; it should be why we're here.
Those are some of the emotional and non-specific things that rise to the top.
There are also the negative - the things I resent. I'm so tired of the grifting influencers on social media and we know they aren't going to shut up. I'm also looking askance at the legacy media that normalized him.
And then we have the specific things - things to fix. There are far too many to list here - and we'll get to that. There's a lame duck Congress to deal with first.
For now, there's celebration. I need to soak this up some more. I need to immerse in the glorious reality of this. What a tremendous, coordinated team effort!
I woke up to find out Colom was actually leading in Mississippi. That felt like the 'holy shit' cherry on top.
Have a nice day! I know you will.

Republicans Strategery:
1. Let’s condition all our grassroots donors to send their money to the PACs of a guy who isn’t running.
2. Siphoning them away from giving to candidates who are on the ballot.
3. Then take that guy with a 38% approval & make the election all about him.

He’ll talk about anything to avoid talking about his trillion dollar tax cut for his billionaire donors that he made YOU pay for by slashing Medicaid, Medicare and the ACA.
Don’t be distracted — VOTE!

Last night Trump said he could have won Vietnam in a week. His plan was “going after Ho Chi Minh City.”
Ho Chi Minh City was Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. Our ally. The enemy’s capital was Hanoi. We bombed it.
He called the presidents who fought that war stupid, then explained how he’d have won it by attacking our own side.
58,220 Americans died in that war. Trump got five deferments. Now he’s telling the rest of us how easy it would have been.
He’s had more than fifty years to learn which side we were on. He still hasn’t. That alone should disqualify him from sending anybody else’s kids to war.
Instead, he’s weighing more strikes on Iran after Tuesday. His administration has reportedly considered using the “mother of all bombs,” the one he calls “like a tiny nuclear bomb.”
The man who thinks we should have bombed our ally’s capital gets to choose the targets.

This is on you, motherfucker, and that goon monkey Witkoff, and your soon-to-be-wormmeat FIL.
I hope some Ukrainian dad finds you one day, you Putin whore.
A father screams in anguish beside the body of his dead daughter. Two 15-year-old girls were killed in a russian attack on the center of Chernihiv, Ukraine.
Dozens are injured, including four children aged 10, 16, and 17, and a 10-month-old baby girl.
Meanwhile, Trump has ordered Ukriane not to hit russian oil refineries, so that russia could make billions and build more rockets and drones to kill more Ukrainians.
