Robert Reich asks why some Congressional Republicans are only now finding they have a spine. His response:

"Because the MAGA base that every congressional Republican is so afraid of and solicitous toward is falling apart.

They’re finally seeing Trump for what he is: a man without principle except getting richer and more powerful and engraving his name on buildings."

"A lame-duck president who said he’d make life better for MAGA starting on 'day one' but has made life worse for MAGA by month 10.

He doesn’t even believe in lowering prices. He calls the affordability crisis a 'con' job."

"This is how you defeat authoritarianism. Not by screaming the word 'fascist' louder but by revealing the economic betrayal at its core. Trump promised to make life more affordable. Instead, he’s making it harder and more expensive while consolidating power and enriching his allies."

"Once completed, this gilt-drenched monstrosity of Chechen-warlord chic [the golden ballroom] will be almost twice the size of the 55,000-square-foot White House itself at 90,000 square feet. Which is insane. More than twice the size of the Taj Mahal! The square footage of the house in The Queen of Versailles! The size of a Walmart!"

Trump's Golden Ballroom Getting Bigger, Bigger, Bigger, Unlike His Approval Rating

"It will be able to hold 18,000 people standing, and they’ll each have five feet of personal space. And also there will be some kind of secure bunker underneath, in case Trump has to hide from protesters again. It’s sort of like Mrs. Astor’s ballroom, but for the select few to survive an apocalypse in style. Or perhaps a third inauguration."

"This is not a thriving middle class throwing around money. It’s escapism for a stressed out American public trying to keep holiday traditions alive in an economy where prices climb faster than wages."

"They’re being pushed along by AI-shaped deals and aggressive mobile checkout designs to bully impulsive consumers into spending what they don’t have. And the bulk of the spending is happening online, where it’s easier to spend money you don’t fully feel when it leaves your wallet."

"If you look at the record numbers [of Black Friday sales] – $11.8 billion – Trump will paint a picture of a booming, confident consumer base.

But Adobe’s own data tells the true story. People are buying fewer items. hey’re leaning heavily on financing and buy now, pay later options."

"American households will pay 4% more for gas power this year on average, compared with 2024, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Electricity bills have increased by 11% since Donald Trump retook the White House."
