Tonight is a bloodbath for Trump and the GOP. Not only did the Democrats sweep in PA, NJ, VA and CA, they did so handily, with big turnouts & overwhelming margins of victory. Off-year elections are often a harbinger of the midterms. Republicans should be deeply worried about 2026.

I mean, is this really real? The President of the U.S. posts a fake video of himself as King shitting all over his subjects? Have kindergarteners taken over the White House? What a disgrace and embarrassment.

RFK Jr. thinks autism is a disease??? “We’ve had 2 measles deaths in 20 years in this country—we have 100,000 autism diagnoses every year,” he said. “We need to keep our eye on the ball. Chronic disease is our enemy.” I am personally offended by that. The HHS Secy should know better.

Trump is already blaming DEI and Biden-Buttigieg FAA hiring standards for last night's horrific plane crash on the Potomac, even though he admits they have no idea yet whether air traffic controllers were at fault and he's seen no evidence they were.

Internal poll from @katieporteroc PAC has her crushing the field for governor—if she decides to run. But the poll omitted KamalaHarris. If Harris runs, Porter won't, and many others will drop out. Porter 24% Kounalakis 9 Yee 6 Becerra 6 Atkins 3 (Bonta, who may run, gets 6% when included)

Sure seems like Pete Hegseth’s nomination is toast. Not worth the fight it will take for Trump to get him confirmed. Now he’s floating Joni Ernst as a possible Defense Secretary nominee, along with DeSantis. Even so, his Cabinet process is a roiling mess. His term will get off to a rocky start.

The turmoil in France — just weeks after the collapse of the German government — threatens to leave two of Europe’s most powerful nations rudderless, as European officials prepare for a blow if Donald Trump unleashes a trade war or slashes aid for Ukraine. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/1...

French government collapsed after no-confidence vote. What happens now?

President Emmanuel Macron must seek a new prime minister after Michel Barnier’s administration became the shortest-serving in the modern French republic.

I get the outrage over Biden pardoning Hunter, but if you’d lost two kids & had the power to keep a third from going to prison for years—maybe all the rest of your years—for politically motivated prosecutions, wouldn’t you do it too? Biden sacrificed his legacy for the sake of his son.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Of Trump's 25 Cabinet & Cabinet-level nominees: 20 are White 1 Black 1 Latino 1 Latina 1 Samoan-American (no other Asian, no Native American) 18 are men, 7 are women Diversity dies with MAGA. 33% of non-white Americans voted for Trump but they barely have a seat at the table.
