My wife and I have four grandsons and have many friends and family who are grandparents. Nothing is more important to us than our grandchildren. This article is nonsense, @arthurbrooks: apple.news/Acmj1aHiDQni-GX-4…

When your boss is a grifter, you grift. . .
Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, has emerged as a superfan of the University of Florida’s football team, spending more than $1.2m of taxpayers’ money on frequent personal trips to watch them play, a report published Wednesday claims.

Think about this for a moment.
It’s all thanks to the efforts of one bad man.
And it could have been prevented if @SenBillCassidy had done the right thing.
It took the US 35 years to gain measles elimination status
It took just two years of RFK Jr and MAHA to lose it
Truly pathetic stuff

Meet the new House Minority Leader. Even a massive defeat isn’t changing the Republican Party. They are slow learners, so in 2028 we have to give them another lesson.
Here’s Jim Jordan on the PA Capitol Steps as ballots were being counted and the race had not been called yet in November 2020. He headlined a Stop The Steal rally with Scott Presler despite PA election officials getting death threats.
Pathetic that this jerk is the GOP leader.

We can only hope the newly-elected Minority Leader keeps pushing the same narrative that cost his party at least 40 House and 7 Senate seats and counting.

So now that Republicans will struggle to reach 180 seats in the House, they will fix all the problems they ignored as the majority for the past two years.
If this delusional thinking continues, 2028 will look even better for Democrats than 2026: A true extinction event.
🚨 NOW: Incoming House Minority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer (R) just WENT OFF
"To our colleagues on the left, enjoy this honeymoon phase because come January 3, 2027, you will REGRET EVER putting your name on a ballot."
"House Republicans will put forth an agenda that speaks directly to the American people, policies that actually lower the price of goods, increase wages, create affordable housing, and give every American the opportunity to build their American dream." 🇺🇸
"This Republican leadership team will expose the Democrats' lies and show the American people their true colors as the radical communists that they are!"
"We will expose every empty promise that they made to voters. We will expose Democrats' economic agenda that will make housing, food, gas, and healthcare MORE expensive."
Good, because AMERICANS FIRST is the only way to win in 2 years from now! We have MANY seats to flip back
January 3 is when the new Congress is sworn in and Democrats take control of the House easily.
Republicans still hold the White House and President Trump's veto pen. Nothing gets past Trump's desk without him!

A guy who only wants to cut rich people’s taxes tells the rest of us that we’re selfish because we won’t “suffer financially for the higher good?”
My fellow Democrats: With Republicans so out of touch, we have a chance to build a generational majority. Let’s not blow it.

If you can watch this and not fear for the safety and well-being of our country with this maniac in charge, you aren’t really paying attention.
🚨JUST IN: Donald Trump completely loses his shit during his presser.
TRUMP: “Who are you with?
MSNBC it's a fake, that's a fake deal. I won't even take your question. MSNBC gets the worst ratings in their history. Used to be MSDNC. It's one of the worst,
you're a fake network. MSNBC, what a joke you are.”
Seems like he’s taking the historic loss very well.

I hope he keeps vomiting up this garbage. Because if he does, 2028 is just going to look a replay of this year and it truly will be an extinction event for the Republican Party: nytimes.com/2026/11/09/us/tr…
When are serious Republicans going to face up to the fact that, in addition to being a pathological liar, their president is rapidly losing what little mind he has left, and do something to protect the country from him?

Dumb and dishonest Ron Johnson is no born again corruption fighter. He won his seat in ‘22 by 27K votes and knows he’s toast in ‘28 if WI Dems field a credible candidate.

It’s worse than an “embarrassment.” It’s the behavior of an 80-year-old man suffering from rapidly accelerating dementia.
And that same man has the power to start a nuclear war that could destroy civilization as we know it.

If Kyle Whittingham and the rest of his coaching staff had any integrity, they would donate their salary for the past week to the University of Michigan to provide scholarships for art history and philosophy majors. #MichiganWolverines
