It would be nice to have a Secretary of State

Kushner: If Iran is willing to finish the deal that they've been discussing with us to give up their ability to create nuclear weapons then obviously he is willing to make a deal but right now they are not showing any interest in doing something that makes sense for us.

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

Blanche only met with them because Tom Tillis made this a condition of getting his yes vote. What a sellout. Tillis talks tough, but it’s just like one of the other confirmations, Hegseth I think, where he made one weak demand and then gave up his yes.

Trump will lie about the 2020 election. Trump will lie about the 2026 election. But, if Trump claims powers he does not have, or tries to undermine free and fair election, we will sue and we will win. If you doubt me, take a look at my record in beating him and his allies in court.

Do people really think that Latinos are going to vote for a white billionaire over a Latino man with a long history of government service? Latinos are fleeing the Republican Party right now. Most Steyer voters seem to be white progressives (like Bernie’s who never captured black voters’ confidence).

Members of the military that have been sent to fight this war with Iran, can’t just decide to go home to avoid tough things. Mike Johnson and John Thune sent Congress home early for the holiday at a time of war to avoid a vote that Trump will tantrum about. Disrespectful and disgraceful.

Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

Their adult children could be applying to get a $25,000 credit for a new home; the child tax credit could’ve been extended and they would’ve gotten $250 per month per child. But they were pissed 2 trans kids were playing sports and voted Trump.
