CBS heavily edited Trump's interview on 60 Minutes. The black and white clips did not appear in Sunday night's broadcast. The network removed sections where Trump made false claims and fabrications. This is part of his explanation about the war in Ukraine.

AOC just called out the media for spending years fixated on Biden’s cognition while barely touching Trump’s very real cognitive decline and escalating erratic behavior.

BREAKING: Leader @HakeemJeffries announces Democrats will immediately bring forward a bill to BAN members of Congress from trading stocks: β€œThere’s a cost to corruption... That’s why I strongly support banning members of Congress from being able to trade stock.”

For years, MAGA has accused Democrats of being paid protesters, paid activists, bots and political operatives. Meanwhile, some of their biggest influencers have been collecting thousands of dollars to push political misinformation on X without disclosing who’s paying them, or that their posts are paid for at all. Remember Tenet media? This is worse. These people have been willingly posting lies to get paid. Here’s the difference though. We’re grassroots, the real patriots. They’re trying to cash in. We organize, volunteer, research, share information and show up because we believe in something. They believe in a lie. Whether they know it or not. Nobody had to pay us to give a damn. And trust me, no one did. There were no β€œSoros checks” or $200 per protest. That’s a MAGA thing. Tuesday’s election results showed what a grassroots movement can accomplish. We were underfunded, with social media against us and we still kicked ass all across the country. So now, of course, come the screams of β€œrigged election” by people unable to do math. MAGA has always been a grift. Maybe Elon should spend less time tweaking the algorithm to blunt everybody else’s free speech and more time enforcing the terms of service on his own platform. Because I guarantee you this too will be investigated.

MAGA extremists are tripling down on their chaos, cruelty and corruption after being wiped out on Tuesday. Exhibit A is Stephen Miller. We will hold the crooks accountable.

There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation: - For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House. - At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate. - At least 14 Democratic women will serve as governors, a record high. - A record of 2,600 Democratic women running for seats in state legislatures helped flip 12 majorities and break 11 supermajorities. - Four states elected their first woman governor: Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee. - @KeishaBottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as a governor. - @DebHaalandNM will be the first Native American woman to serve as a governor. - @GinaHinojosaTX will be the first Latina to serve as governor of Texas. - @peggyflanagan will be the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate. I am beyond excited to see these extraordinary people and public servants tackle accountability, affordability, and our other challenges to make life better for everyone in this country. Congratulations to everyone who ran: win or lose, fighting for what's right is always worth it.

BREAKING: In an incredible moment, Hakeem Jeffries just HUMILIATED Republicans for messing around with a gerrymandering scheme that ultimately backfired entirely. This is amazing.

Vote today before Republicans finish what the antisemites and fascists started. Early ballot or watch them erase the rights while they smile and call it order. #BlueWaveVoteToday
