They vote for John Thune because he is tall and white, not because he is smart. Someone is going to have to sit him down and explain that it falls to him to go to the White House and explain to Trump it is time to play the old sick card and resign. Trump is done.

There is NOTHING about being a Ride Or Die Democrat that precludes you from supporting primary opponents. It does, however, prevent you from pissing on the party as a whole and suppressing voter turnout. 💙☠️💙☠️💙

OK, I can barely read the screen my eyes are so tired. I am REALLY caling it a night this time. Republicans suck.

The Venn diagram of people who didn't vote in 2024, told us we wouldn't be able to vote in the last election we just destroyed Republicans in and are now saying Democrats are just as bad as Republicans who sued to starve babies is a PERFECT circle.

Republicans sued to starve kids. Never forget who they showed you they are.

Republicans showed you they believe even shitty healthcare is more than you deserve. Never forget.

Medicare For All.

"America Cant Afford Trumps Affordability" Trump calls rising prices a lie, declares victory on affordability, and sells Americans a fantasy while tariffs, inflation, and broken promises silently bleed our wallets dry.

WOW: California Gov. Gavin Newsom gets a rock star welcome in Houston, Texas — greeted by cheering crowds lined up outside his rally today.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

"The Reckoning Has Only Just Begun" Republicans once swore eternal loyalty. Now, they whisper escape. The cult is cracking, the faithful are fleeing, and Trump’s empire of fear is out of fuel.

A tweet from Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@ZohranKMamdani) reads: “In 2024, Republicans promised to lower the cost of groceries. In 2025, they’re shrugging it off, saying ‘food prices always go up.’ For too long, government’s failure to deliver has been treated as inevitable. My administration will prove that government can work for you.” Below it, a tweet from Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) shows a quote exchange: “Q: Food prices are still going up. Grocery prices are still going up. How do you respond?” MIKE JOHNSON: “All of the economist have shown that food prices always go up. There’s an inflationary level that’s built in to grocery prices.” An image beneath shows Mike Johnson at a podium surrounded by several people in formal attire.

And at a national level, we need to break the hold a few companies have on prices.

Our tremendous victory last night leads to the word of the day, loyalty.

Do yourself a favor and watch Katie Phang's report on the Republicans' big disaster night

Mamdani: My message to I.C.E. Agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

A tweet from Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) says: “Mamdani: ‘Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.’” Below is a CNN screenshot showing Zorhan Mamdani standing at a podium with U.S. and New York City flags behind him. The chyron reads: “BREAKING NEWS — ZORHAN MAMDANI SPEAKS AFTER WINNING NYC MAYOR'S RACE.”

Now that’s a fighter!

I love dried fruit. Raisins, dates, mango, apples and of course prunes. But damn I forget every prune is a whole plum minus the water. It still has all the sugar and calories and damn if I couldn't eat this whole bag. That's like sitting and eating 100+ plums! Put the bag down sir!

Let's go, time to vote!

Let's do this! Go vote!
