Poland's Constitutional Crisis Just Got Real The president and the prime minister are both claiming the constitution. Riot police are outside the tribunal. Who gets to decide which judges are legitimate? #Poland #Tusk #Constitution

A federal judge just refused to toss Trump's $10 billion suit against the BBC. They stitched two Jan. 6 lines said nearly an hour apart into one sentence. That's not journalism, that's arts and crafts. See you in discovery, fellas. Which network should be sweating next?

Spain's Housing Strike Gets Fiery Spain's first general strike in 14 years, over rent and stagnant wages, ended in Barcelona with fires and fireworks at riot police. I guess they were done in France and moved down the street. #Spain #Barcelona #HousingCrisis

You need a photo ID to board a plane, rent a car and buy Sudafed. Ask for one to pick who runs the country and suddenly it's "voter suppression." Apparently cold medicine deserves more security than your ballot. Voter ID in every state, no excuses. Tell me I'm wrong.

Poland Beats Mardi Gras Independence Day in Poland and everybody — big, old, small — is holding a flag. If I started a business there, it'd be a flag manufacturer. Pretty cool. #Poland #IndependenceDay #NationalPride

Poland Does Independence Day Right Warsaw's Independence March: huge crowds, and 100% Polish flags. I love that about that country. The U.S. could learn something. #Poland #IndependenceDay #Patriotism

Bernie Sanders just said he won't back Chuck Schumer for Democratic leader: "The time is now for change." Slotkin's a no too. Democrats win the Senate and the first thing they do is fight over who gets the corner office. Grab the popcorn. Team Bernie or Team Chuck?

The Hispanic Scholarship Fund just settled a lawsuit and will stop considering applicants' race or ethnicity starting in January. Judging kids on merit instead of ancestry. Took a federal lawsuit, but hey, welcome to the Constitution. Which "diversity" scholarship folds next?

Brooklyn Building Collapse: Two Dead, 17 Hurt 1321 Flatbush Ave collapsed into a construction pit. FDNY arrived within a minute and the search goes on. Thank God for the first responders. Pray for Flatbush. #Brooklyn #FDNY #BuildingCollapse

Mississippi. Let that sink in. Trump carried it by nearly 23 points. Today it elected a Democrat to the Senate. Hyde-Smith conceded, so no excuses. Dems now hold at least 55 seats. That's not a red wall, that's a screen door. Who at the NRSC is updating their resume tonight?

Fresh Out of Harry Potter A UT Tyler student tore down the American flag at a TPUSA event and swung a prop cane at three people. Campus police arrested him. Crazy. #TPUSA #UTTyler #Texas

America has a $50 billion fund for nuclear waste and nowhere to put the waste. Finland just licensed its permanent site. Finland. Meanwhile 90,000+ tons sits at about 75 sites while Congress treats Yucca Mountain like a group project nobody wants to finish. Who's to blame?

Bezos Is Right About the Queens Nurse A nurse making $75,000 pays $1,000+ a month in taxes. The bottom half of earners pay just 3% of the total. We can find 3%. She should get an apology, not a bill. #JeffBezos #IncomeTax #Taxes

The White House has gone almost a month without a press secretary, and Trump reportedly wants a man at the podium this time. Ben Ferguson and Scott Jennings are both in the running, per Fox. Pick whoever makes the press corps cry fastest. Who's your guy?

Trump Praises Hegseth on Veterans Day At Arlington, a day after House Republicans blocked the impeachment effort, Trump says Hegseth has done a fantastic job. Recruiting beat expectations; the military's one job is to destroy the enemy. #PeteHegseth #VeteransDay #Military

California voters just rejected the 5% billionaire tax, 52.8% to 47.2%. Even California said no. Sergey Brin spent $102 million fighting it and moved out of state anyway. The tax hadn't even passed and the billionaires were already packing. Should the unions take the hint?

Six hours. Dozens of wounds. Roy Benavidez never quit. Medics thought he was dead and he spit in the doctor's face to prove otherwise. Tango Mike Mike. Happy Veterans Day. #RoyBenavidez #VeteransDay #MedalOfHonor

House Republicans just picked Jim Jordan as minority leader over Steve Scalise, 106-73. Lose 40+ seats and finally hire the guy who refuses to wear a suit jacket. Good. A minority needs a street fighter, not a hall monitor. Can Jordan get the House back in 2028?

Immigrants, Not Illegals Incoming Speaker Jeffries wants "remedial assistance" for DACA recipients. Notice he said immigrants, not illegals. That's the difference. Legal status for illegal immigrants won't work under Trump. #HakeemJeffries #DACA #Immigration

Florida AG James Uthmeier just subpoenaed the Democratic Socialists of America over possible money from Cuba and China. Nothing proven yet. But when your idea of a field trip is a convoy to Havana, expect somebody to check the receipts. DSA's response: no comment. Shocking.
