Trump, indeed, echoed the Puritan witch hunts’ demonization and condemnation of women

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has had hip replacement surgery at a U.S. military hospital in Germany after falling while at an event in Luxembourg with other members of Congress

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had her hip replaced in Germany after she fell during a trip with other lawmakers.

Pelosi, 84, fell down marble stairs while traveling with a congressional delegation to Luxembourg.

The news comes after the congresswoman, 84, suffered an apparent hip fracture on an overseas trip.

It turns out the best way to touch the nerves of a member of Congress isn’t to ask about a contentious issue such as abortion, deep-state corruption, or transgender-bathroom policy. Instead, just mention their stock portfolio. At least that seems to be true of Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Republican representative from Texas who’s about to [...]

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said addressing the high cost of living for Americans could be an area of bipartisan cooperation next year.

“The American people are hungry for change," said Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), one of a handful of next-generation Democrats gunning for top committee posts.

'In great hands'

The deliberations so far are largely at the level of White House lawyers, but Biden reportedly discussed the topic with some senior aides.

President Joe Biden faces a stark choice as he contemplates broad preemptive pardons to protect aides and allies from potential retribution by Donald Trump

WASHINGTON — A Texas man who was the first rioter to go on trial for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was resentenced on Friday to nearly seven years in prison after he delivered an angry, profane rant to the judge who agreed to modestly reduce his original sentence.

Dems fear Trump will weaponize the government to go after enemies because that's what they did.

No one better illustrates the sinister consequences of great wealth turned into unaccountable power than Elon Musk.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, who served as the lead Democratic prosecutor in Donald Trump's second impeachment trial, will challenge Rep. Jerry Nadler for House Judiciary chairman.

The media is currently clutching its pearls over President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter, saying President-elect Donald Trump will use Biden’s act of clemency to justify bad pardons once he takes office again.Politico declared Biden’s pardon “a rich gift to those who want to blow up the justice system as we know it,” while The New York Times said Biden’s act “will inevitably muddy the political waters as Mr. Trump prepares to take office with plans to use the Justice Department and F.B.I. to pursue ‘retribution’ against his political adversaries.”Indeed, Trump is already trying to use Biden's pardon as an excuse to make his own controversial pardons when he returns to the White House on Jan. 20.“Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Sunday night, suggesting he’ll use the Hunter Biden pardon to justify releasing hundreds of people who broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to stop the certification of Biden’s victory. (Trump campaigned on pardoning Jan. 6 insurrectionists, so he’s already justified the decision in his mind.)But Trump didn't need Biden's pardon to excuse his inevitably awful future pardons. Trump already has a history of abusing his clemency power, pardoning unrepentant felons simply because they were his supporters, allies, or family members.In fact, Trump even contemplated giving himself and his family a blanket pardon before he left the White House kicking and screaming in January 2021—something he ultimately decided against.Here's an exhaustive list of the terrible pardons Trump granted during his first term in office:

I know that every year, some of you see this Thanksgiving column by my brother and think that it is actually I who am serving up this slab of red meat under the nom de plume of Kevin Dowd.

It's a beaut, Trump.

Jan. 6 was not “an insurrection,” but “a protest that became a riot when a woefully insufficient security plan collapsed,” argues Jonathan Turley at The Hill.

Once again, Newsom gets Trumped by the calendar.

The J6 riot was not an insurrection but a protest that escalated into an out-of-control riot.

"Every dollar of federal spending has its own constituency. Even the slightest trims are deemed 'draconian' and raise dire alarms about grannies being rolled off cliffs and children left to misery," Finley writes.

“It's an honor to stand on the shoulders of Speaker Nancy Pelosi,” he said Sunday.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Sunday that House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has been "incredibly respectful" of him.Why it matters: Some of Jeffries' Democratic colleagues told Axios last week that Pelosi's public comments in the aftermath of the 2024 election are unfairly eclipsing his leadership.Pelosi told the New York Times that President Biden should have dropped his re-election bid earlier and that, if he had, Democrats may have had the opportunity to run an open primary."She needs to take a seat," complained one senior House Democrat.What he's saying: Asked about the report in an NBC "Meet the Press" appearance, Jeffries said Pelosi "has been incredibly respectful of the entire leadership team.""It's an honor to stand on the shoulders of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, an incredibly consequential public servant in the history of America, and to continue to work closely with Speaker Pelosi," he said.Pressed on whether he believes Pelosi's remarks to the press are undermining his leadership, Jeffries said simply: "No."

In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) says Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi has been “incredibly respectful” to Democratic House leadership as some members privately say she needs to “take a seat.”

Donald Trump has chosen Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be his nominee to serve as secretary of defense. If his nomination is successful, Hegseth will be in charge of the most powerful military in human history, and his decisions will have a ripple effect that will eventually touch the lives of every person on Earth.This is quite a portfolio to put in the grasp of a man who claims he didn’t wash his hands for 10 years, has a well-documented history of bigotry across religions and gender, and whose biggest qualification seems to be his frequent appearances on Trump’s favorite propaganda outlet.Here are 17 wild things we know about Pete Hegseth.

Vice President Harris’s defeat in last week’s presidential election raises a thorny dilemma for Democrats as they look ahead to future election cycles, including the 2028 presidential race. Twice in the past three presidential elections, Democrats have nominated a woman. Both times, they have lost. The sole Democratic victor in those three elections was President [...]

Progressives are urging Democrats to pursue a path forward that prioritizes America’s working-class population, the coalition that overwhelmingly rejected their party and supported President-elect Trump for a second term. Leftists believe moderates have failed to uplift economically marginalized people, deviating from their decades-old mandate and leaving that group open to Republicans’ message. Failing to keep [...]

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said it’s wrong for Democrats to call American voters 'sexist and racist.'

Joe Biden doomed Kamala Harris' presidential campaign when he opted to run for a second term, podcaster and former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau argued.

The former House Speaker also seemed to reject any analysis blaming Democrats for their election loss on a failure to win over working families.
