🇺🇸 🇺🇦 REAL AMERICANS know the price of liberty and support Ukraine’s right to STAND HER GROUND against invasion.

ZELENSKYY FIGHTS FOR ALL OF US!
#PATRIOT #SlavaUkraïni 🇺🇦

NEWSMAX has a headline of "Iran Tries to Paint Midterm Results as Rebuke of War and Trump"
Iran doesn't have to try to paint anything. We created the perfect picture last night, elegantly and artistically.
It was a rebuke of ALL things Trump.

Let's be clear about something. We didn't sweep victory last night because we were "nice."
We won, in the manner we did, because deep within almost every democracy-loving voter...was a visceral equivalent of a "F*ck YOU!" that translated into massive turnout and grit-filled marks on ballots.
That...is why we won. Keep that in mind. We'll still need it going forward.

The Day After: What the Democratic Wave Means for American Democracy
The Verdict Is In. And It Wasn’t Close.👇
J.R. Kineman retweeted
Seven Senate seats. Both chambers. Kansas, South Carolina, and Texas. Last night wasn’t a midterm, it was a verdict. But a wounded administration with two years left is more dangerous, not less. Here’s what the sweep means, what it doesn’t, and what you do before January.

Just keep in mind, Schumer and Trump are friends. The kind of friends, that, even after Trump pulled the J6 bullshit, Schumer attended a dinner where Trump was speaking, and laughed at his stupid ass jokes.
I don’t want men or women like that anywhere close to a leadership position in this party.

Jon Ossoff is one of the most powerful and motivating speakers in American politics. His words in this victory speech will give you chills.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS. 🇺🇸💙

YES!!! Jack Smith could investigate Donald Trump again.
House Democrats could hire him as chief investigative counsel.
He could question witnesses under oath, and the committee could subpoena records.

BREAKING: SWEET REVENGE! The Navy Admiral who Pete Hegseth fired DEFEATS her MAGA opponent to win a House seat in South Carolina — cementing the blue tsunami with a poetic flourish!
This is just too beautiful...
Democrat Nancy Lacore, a 35-year Navy veteran who rose through the ranks from helicopter pilot to become Chief of Navy Reserve, was fired in August of 2025 amid Hegseth's purging of high-ranking women in the military. While no official reason was given, the deeply misogynistic Hegseth has not been coy about his caveman belief that only testosterone-injecting men should serve.
Lacore has now defeated Republican Jenny Costa Honeycutt to seize a seat that was formerly held by MAGA lunatic Nancy Mace who launched a failed bid for the governor's mansion this year.
Lacore has not been shy about criticizing Hegseth's disastrous mismanagement of the Defense Department, particularly his failed Iran War.
"Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified Secretary of Defense that we have ever had, and he is doing significant damage to our military that it will really take decades to undo," she said, adding that he "needs to go."
The most beautiful irony here? Congresswoman Lacore could soon be voting with the rest of the Democratic majority in the House to impeach Pete Hegseth. We have subpoena power starting in January, so we'll be able to uncover all of the gross negligence and rampant criminality that he's overseen.
Ain't karma grand?
Please ❤️ and share if you support impeaching Pete Hegseth!

🔥Carney to Putin: “You cannot bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your junior players to Alberta to play hockey as if you were civilised people."
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivers a blunt message to Russia:
“You cannot bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your junior players to Alberta to play hockey as if you were civilised people.
No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Junior Championship. Not under your flags. Not under any other flags. Period.”

EXCELLENT! This will be the first time since Trump came down that golden escalator we won’t have to see or hear him in the news! I’m sure he needs privacy at this time to self reflect & absorb the fact that We The People spoke out with our votes to show him just how much he is hated and disrespected in America and around the world! We are done with his lying, grifting, corruption, cruel & evil ways, not upholding the constitution, not following the law or oath of office. We want him to be held accountable NOW! ✅
