Across the street from our Temple Israel in West Bloomfield is Shenendoah Country Club, the largest Chaldean-owned country club in the US. As the tragedy unfolded, the children were taken there, where the staff fed and supported them in every way. Neighbors. Partners. Community.

Only the most delusional Republicans in Congress can’t see the writing on the wall – Trump has destroyed the Republican party’s ability to win elections, regardless of how Red a district is. The only question left is when are they going to turn on him?

Americans of all political persuasion that Trump, Noem, LaFoya and all Republicans called him a “domestic terrorist.” They need to look in the mirror. And we must make them pay in November

The only way Senators like Cassidy, Collins, Murkowski, Tillis can save themselves and whatever remains of their party is to become Independents, caucus with the Dems, and join the fight. If not, Trump will destroy them and the country.

Spent a great afternoon at the grand opening of the McMorrow for Senate campaign HQ in downtown Detroit. She gave a rousing, passionate speech to a huge crowd. Pay attention, Michigan - she’s our next US Senator.

Trump is overloading each news cycle with a ton of shit - Venezuela, ICE, Greenland, Jerome Powell, and more. When will The Democrats refocus attention on affordability and The Epstein files - THAT’S what Trump wants to avoid at all costs.

Paul Jacobs @pauljacobsmedia.bsky.social · 12/01/2026
We are going to get to the point where Sens Tillis, Collins, Murkowski, and Paul will have to come together, declare independence, and caucus with the Democrats. This will only happen if/when they decide to put country over party. Otherwise we might be screwed

Great people and families (like the Kennedys) get buildings and institutions named after them. Losers and small people name buildings and institutions after themselves (like Trump).

Like rats deserting the ship they blew a hole in, many House Republicans will return to DC and announce that after talking with their families over the holidays, blah, blah, blah. Good riddance

How do you “misplace” one million Epstein documents? My assumption is they were found in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago That’s where Trump tends to hide the good stuff

Dr. just prescribed a new medication for me - $705 co-pay. I’d like to thank Trump for reducing that cost by 600%. I couldn’t have afforded it otherwise 😳

After sleeping on this speech (not easy) it's clear this is Trump's "Willie Loman" moment. This is what happens when a salesperson realizes the pitch isn't working any more - they raise their voice, use more superlatives, make false promises, and lie.

For those of us with children with challenges, I think I speak for them when I say I think Trump can go fuck himself. (Apologies for the language but we must defend our children and those who can’t defend themselves)

Thanks to Joe Scarborough @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social for calling out the Republicans on their "outrage" over the video made enforcing active service people to defy ILLEGAL orders! The key word is ILLEGAL! I will say what Joe wanted to say...the GOP is lying through their fking teeth!!!

Please don’t paint us with a broad brush. Many of us are truly appalled - 7 million marched last weekend - that’s not nothing. But it’s going to take years/decades for our country to come back and earn the trust of the rest of the world - including Canada Please be there for us And go Blue Jays!

A final thought about the #NoKings event. People were happy. They were smiling. Talking with strangers. It took me a few minutes to recognize these behaviors because it’s been a while. I liked it. And I missed it.

Today is a great day for America. Not only was our #NoKings rally in Ferndale, Michigan huge, it was peaceful, positive, and patriotic. The only vitriol was focused on our leaders who don’t believe in our Constitution and only want power and wealth. This is what makes America great!!

We’ve already got Thom Tillis and Joni Ernst out. Susan Collins is next. Republican politicians know they’re in deep trouble and they’re torn between representing their constituents or kneeling to Trump. The constituents will win every time if they pay attention, get off the couch, and get involved

A special thank-you to Ali Velshi for his passionate rant this morning: “Where’s the party?” Dem leadership has to stop writing letters and making statements and get off their asses to actually fight for our country. If not, they should be replaced

The only thing Trump respects is leverage. Governor Pritzker, you gave a great speech but do you want real leverage? How about a State takeover of that awful Trump Hotel in downtown Chicago if he sends the troops in? That’s the Chicago way!

The only way we restore our country is one seat at a time - local, state, and national. We need to call out every Republican for their destructive votes. There should be no such thing as a low turnout election with the stakes so high

The Feds taking over DC is actually like a TV show production- - block the streets, coordinate the wardrobe, and follow the script. And a lot of standing around. Remember, everything Trump does is a made for TV production

I’ve consulted public radio stations for 20+ years. Currently, 10% of listeners are members. If that number rose to 20% they’d be financially independent It’s up to us to save and support local public radio stations -it’s not hard and it’s worth it Please support them - your community needs NPR

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

You wonder how/why Mamdani won? Compare this action taken with Chuck Schumer writing angry letters to Trump. Democrats need energetic, generational change (and I’m 70). And if Ken Martin and Democratic leadership can't bring it like this every day, please kindly step aside.
