Chuck Schumer is the reason Angie Nixon lost. Hakeem Jeffries refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani until he had no other choice.These people cannot lead our party for the next two years. Far too much is at stake.WE DEMAND NEW LEADERSHIP. IT IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.

A striking stat re AIPAC performance in the midterms. In 2022, almost 70% of its funds went into races where it got the desired result. In 2024, it was 87%. In 2026, that figure is 34%. responsiblestatecraft.org/ai…

HUNGER GAMES: SUNRISE ON REAPING is tracking to surpass MICHAEL and become @Lionsgate’s biggest debut in 11 years, since Mockingjay - Part 2 ($103M). Domestic sales are INSANE, doing better than movies like THE ODYSSEY.

(D - SC)
The party that elevates Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17 yr old killer, & tears down Gus Walz, a 17 yr old with special needs who loves his dad, is a party that needs to be lit on fire & thrown in the dumpster & plunged into the deepest depths of the ocean never to be seen again.

One of the most insane stats in an election full of them — had literally zero people showed up to vote for Talarico on Tuesday, he still would’ve won by 150k.
James Talarico received *more early votes* then Paxton received in TOTAL This race was over before it began 😭

if your takeaway from the last 24 hours is “americans want to reach across the aisle” you are wholly and completely unfit to represent the democratic party the message america sent last night was that they are DONE with this iteration of the republican party, full stop
Hakeem Jeffries: “This is not a partisan moment. This is a patriotic moment. This is not a blue moment or a red moment. It’s a red, white and blue moment because American has won tonight."

“Take AIPAC’s worst nightmares, double them”
The bad news keeps piling up. What happened in America last night is a catastrophe. Take AIPAC’s worst nightmares, double them, and you still don’t get close. The only consolation is that Abdul El-Sayed won his Senate seat by a smaller margin than expected. Will the Democrats learn that anti-Israel politics and antisemitism cost you votes? I doubt it. And a great many Jews voted for him anyway. It’s getting worse. First the Democrats blamed Israel for America’s troubles: grocery prices, America’s slipping standing, the war with Iran. Now, with JD Vance’s tweet and Donald Trump Jr.’s share, the Republicans are blaming Israel for the Republican Party’s troubles. Vance’s message: we stuck too close to Israel. That is far more dangerous. Israel now faces its biggest challenge in Washington since at least the 1975 “reassessment,” when Ford and Kissinger froze arms deals to pressure Jerusalem. There’s only one answer I know of: a national unity government. Flirting with a new election, a minority government propped up by the Arab parties, or a deal with the Haredim would be a grave mistake.

Schumer didn’t “miss.” He chose to lose Florida to keep a Black anti-Zionist out of the Senate. He was very clear about his priority.
One big question that is starting to emerge tonight.. did national Democrats miss a massive opportunity to invest in Florida?

I cannot restate this enough – the most powerful Democrat told the NYT his “job” is to protect a foreign country.

I think the most psychologically important thing about this election is that someone like Vivek actually suffered consequences for doing something heinous in an election campaign. That had straight up stopped happening to such an extent that it no longer felt possible

We owe her everything
The way this video literally exposed a priest for mishandling $1.9M church funds and helped Mamdani become New York’s mayor

I keep thinking about Amy Acton not picking up Ramaswamy’s concession call. She did not owe him the courtesy of answering her phone, and she knew it. We don’t have to take calls from our monsters. Not any of us. We don’t even have to listen to their pathetic message. We can just push delete.

this is the part that frustrates me the most! he is TERRIBLE on set and a genuine liability for every single cast & crew member. the “rehabilitation” of his image being attempted rn is SOLELY at amber’s expense. even if you ignore the trial (HUGE IF!!!!) he should not be working.
Before the trial, Depp was unemployable, because he was known to be completely unprofessional, violent, and impossible to work with. The only reason why he’s getting jobs again is because he became popular after using the courts to abuse Heard on a public scale. Very depressing.

Can you believe “My opponent was sexually abused as a child, let’s all laugh at her!” didn’t work
Vivek Ramaswamy on his ad featuring Amy Acton’s abusive mother, who stayed with her husband who was indicted for raping Acton starting at 9 years old: "In politics, sometimes, it's a tough sport"
