Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.) is not taking Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-S. C.) bait. In her first interview after Mace’s weeklong, social media–fueled campaign—which included nearly 300 posts on X—to ban her from the women’s bathroom in the House of Representatives offices, McBride showed how a member of Congress who is actually interested in governing, not grabbing headlines, acts. “I’m in Congress to deliver for my constituents, to make health care, housing, and child care more affordable,” McBride said in a Sunday interview on MSNBC’s The Weekend, adding that she plans to support pro-union legislation as well as bills focused on paid leave and affordable childcare.

Donald Trump’s Cabinet appointees are not the only source of controversy in his transition back to the White House. On Thursday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wrote the Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), which manages the functioning of federal agencies, to warn that the Trump transition team has refused to sign memoranda of understanding with the Biden-Harris administration.

On this day in 1950 Frank Loesser's musical "Guys & Dolls", starring Robert Alda, Vivian Blaine, and Sam Levene, opens at 46th St Theater, NYC. So today, my favorite song from the musical, "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat", which Stubby Kaye knocked clear out of the park.

Elon Musk is joking/not joking with El Cheato about buying MSNBC. Sure, why not? Via The Daily Mail: The blood in the water at MSNBC set Donald Trump Jr's tongue wagging on Friday. He joked on X: 'Hey Elon Musk I have the funniest idea ever!' He was responding to a post that incorrectly claimed the network is already for sale. Musk, who launched a hostile takeover for Twitter and won, took the bait. 'How much?' he replied in his own post. While the pair may have been joking, this was the same question he asked in 2017 when a Twitter user urged him to buy the site. What he and the Mango Man want more than anything is a hysterical reaction from the public at the very thought!

Or we could suppose that one got a pardon and the other one got elected by the slimmest popular vote margin since the 1800s. Matt Gaetz may be gone, but I'm sure he won't soon be forgotten. Meanwhile the Parade of Horribles marches on. An AG who takes bribes, a sexual assaulting SecDef, a DNI who is a Russian asset, and more. Happy Sunday before Thanksgiving!

Trump’s electoral victory has advanced the demise of MSNBC and CNN for good reason.
