His pal, Oracle’s Larry Ellison and his son, were outbid and will sue to stop the deal. Trump will help them and Netflix will face some serious pressure from the administration. Hope they can withstand what’s coming.

In a dangerous and divided world, Canada and Europe are elevating our defence partnership. That means more access to new equipment for our Armed Forces, more investment in Canada, and massive opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses.
Screenshot of an article from the Financial Post with the title: Canada reaches deal to join EU's flagship defence program.

A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff. But when a hate-peddling podcaster was killed, the flags were lowered to half-staff within hours—and stayed that way for days. WTH? Tonight...

"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes @jonathanbchait.bsky.social Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Stupid or Complicit …doesn’t really matter at this point. The result is insulting, frustrating, and throws a fresh shovel of dirt into the Democratic grave. Schumer and his gang need to resign.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning? Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.
