President Donald Trump dismissed a reporter's question about skyrocketing healthcare costs, griping, You make it sound so bad. At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire, said a reporter. What's your message to those 24 million Americans who will see their insurance premiums go up Well, don't make it sound so bad, Trump interrupted, because obviously, you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

He told the MAGA faithful, who are having trouble making ends meet, that their kids don't need so many dolls or pencils. He said, You only need a couple of dolls and one or two pencils.' The guy who bedazzled this room in gold thinks your child has too many pencils at school. His strategy, it seems, is to just keep saying things are great, which is the same mistake Joe Biden made, by the way.

The Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit today to prevent President Donald Trump from replacing a beautiful picture of Glacier National Park with a close-up of his own face on the America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Annual Pass, reads a press release. Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center, blasted the president's image being used on passes as his crassest, most ego-driven action yet.

I know the companies very well. I know what they're doing, but I have to see, I have to see what percentage of market they have.

"whatever" footage the Pentagon possesses "we'd certainly release, no problem."

"I watched many of my colleagues go from making fun of him, making fun of how he talks, making fun of me-constantly-for supporting him, to when he won the primary in 2024, they all started-excuse my language, Lesley-kissing his ass, and decided to put on a MAGA hat for the first time." She others are "terrified" of receiving the same treatment that she got, namely after Trump got "extremely angry" at her for pushing for the release of the Epstein files.

Sister Dana "Did everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving? I prefer to call it 'ThanksGaying' because TGIG-Thank God I'm Gay!" Something to be thankful for:Majorie Taylor Greene has announced her departure from Congress and has become somewhat of an enemy of Trump. And more House GOP resignations could come soon! Sister Dana, "Thank you, Marjorie 'Traitor Brown' (as Trump now angrily calls her) for coming to your senses! It took you long enough

And last Friday, his White House unveiled the latest wrinkle: a new website that supposedly tracks media bias. It offers a Hall of Shame and media offenders of the week to focus on reporting that the president dislikes. It names individuals and news organizations, and it points to the Boston Globe and CBS News, among others, for doing supposedly misleading and biased work. It uses terms like left wing lunacy to describe some of its complaints.

Krugman, who has made no secret of his contempt for cryptocurrencies (or for Trump and Trumpism), argues their rise is inextricably linked with the Trump administration's raft of friendly policies and actions toward crypto investors and exchanges. That includes calling for the creation of a government Bitcoin reserve, as well as signing an executive order in August to allow U.S. citizens to invest retirement savings in cryptocurrency, as well as other alternative assets.

At the top of the page, the text reads: Misleading. Biased. Exposed. The feature names the Boston Globe, CBS News and the Independent as media offenders of the week, accusing them of inaccurately portraying Trump's remarks about six Democratic lawmakers who released of video encouraging military members to not follow illegal orders. The controversy arose after Trump accused Democrats of seditious behavior, punishable by death on social media. He also reposted a statement including the words: hang them.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a longtime Trump ally who recently split with the president, made headlines last week by announcing her plans to resign in January. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a Trump critic, told Axios he nearly resigned over the Trump administration's 28-point peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war. "I have made the decision, after conversations with my beautiful bride and my girls over the Thanksgiving holiday, to focus on my family and return home after this Congress," Nehls said in a statement.

The collapse of the indictments of James Comey and Letitia James speak to the rot at the heart of the Trump administration. Lindsey Halligan, predictably, was found to be appointed illegally after her predecessor was driven out of office after rightly concluding that the cases did not have legal merit. The Senate never confirmed Halligan, and her interim appointment couldn't be indefinite as a matter of law.

Tonight, President Trump lashing out after The New York Times produced a detailed data-driven report and talking about how he may be showing some signs of aging. In that report, the Times writes, Mr. Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office, noting that he also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to, and that most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 P.M. on average.

SW: Yuri, Yuri, here's what I would do. My recommendation. YU: Yes, please. SW: I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace and you're just, you're really glad to have seen it happen. So I would say that. I think from that it's going to be a really good call.

He used an autopen last year for the turkey's pardon[s], so I have the official duty to determine, and I have determined last year's turkey pardons are totally invalid, Trump said, drawing some laughs from the assembled crowd. The president then moved on from clowning Sleepy Biden to his son, Hunter Biden. As are the pardons of about every other person that was pardoned, other than, uhh, where's Hunter? Trump said, drawing a couple more chuckles. No, Hunter's was good.

I hope the visit of President Zelensky will take place as soon as possible, because ... it will be help President Trump to continue his historical mission to end this war. Because [Trump] can say: 'Look, this is confirmed and agreed, our position with the Ukrainians. We support it, and we continue now to speak with the Russians.'
