Reporter: What did the president mean when he called the reporter piggy? Leavitt: I think the president being frank and open and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration

It is abhorrent that the President just threatened death upon members of Congress. We must condemn all threats of political violence, especially when they come from someone who has incited a violent attack on the Capitol.

Picture of Trump with Forbes headline overlayed, “Trump suggests ‘death’ for Democrats who urge military to defy illegal orders" Below is a screenshot of Trump’s Truth Social post, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

The unemployment rate rose to 4.4%, the highest since October 2021. The policies of Trump and Republicans are hurting Americans.

Highest unemployment rate since Oct 2021.

Donald Trump is an embarrassment to the United States of America and dishonors Americans with his sexist, vulgar and unbecoming conduct.

Joyce White Vance

1/Catherine Lucey, the White House correspondent for Bloomberg, asked Donald Trump about releasing the Epstein files on Air Force One over the weekend. In response, Trump leaned forward, slashing an accusatory finger her direction and barked, “Quiet! Quiet Piggy,” at her.

In a normal Department of Justice not run by hacks and sycophants and malicious clowns, Lindsey Halligan would resign and the indictment against James Comey would be dismissed. Halligan should be disbarred. She altered a court document without showing the grand jury.

@rparloff.bsky.social reporting that the DOJ just admitted to the judge that Halligan never presented the second indictment to the grand jury… Halligan is a train wreck in real time

Honored to speak at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s Tech Summit today on AI literacy. Thank you to CHCI Chair Darren Soto and CHCI staff for their leadership in putting together great programs.

Grocery prices reach a record high. The harmful policies of Trump and Republicans are crushing Americans. And what is Trump focused on? Redecorating his marble bathroom, renovating his used jet from Qatar, and demolishing part of the White House to build his Epstein ballroom.

U.S. grocery prices have hit a record high — the monthly cost for a family of four is now $1,030.

The President doesn’t really want the Epstein files to be released. He just reversed his position because Republicans were getting their asses kicked. If Trump wanted to, he could order the release of the files right now.

It is insane to not regulate AI. Did a TEDx Talk on how Congress must take a proactive approach to make sure we harness the power of AI safely for the future. Watch the full talk: bit.ly/tedtalkAI

The Democratic sweep earlier this month weakened Trump. Help Democrats flip the House and we will cut Trump’s radical, harmful agenda in half. I have a Leadership PAC that helps federal candidates flip seats from red to blue. You can donate here: secure.actblue.com/donate/lieu-...

A weak President, walking past a U.S. flag near the ground. America in decline under Trump.

Trump and Republicans don’t have a plan to help Americans who are harmed by AI. In fact, Trump and GOP don’t even have concepts of a plan. But Trump is working hard on his marble bathroom and his ostentatious Epstein ballroom.

Release. The. Epstein. Files.

Eric Trump brags about sending $500 million while having a glass of wine with his wife. Let them eat cake. Donald Trump and his family are fixated on ostentatious ballrooms and billionaire issues, while Americans suffer from rising grocery prices and skyrocketing health care.

Republicans and the Trump Administration need to stop kissing the ass of Ghislaine Maxwell and covering up the Epstein files.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialNov 13(source)

We pray for the girls abused by Epstein, Maxwell - and their predator friends. We pray each predator, no matter how powerful, will experience justice. We pray this justice may bring some peace to the victims. The greatness of any nation lies in its willingness to face the truth.
