Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment.

The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.

Just wrote an upbeat (!) Morning Shots.

I mean, if not today, when?

We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.

Honestly, folks.

Today's electoral results are a referendum on fascism.

Take heart, peeps.

It's fuel to step up and keep going!

Republicans are currently starving millions of people in order to force Democrats to cooperate in cutting health care for millions of people.

We've gotten so inured to this shit. It's just monstrous, horrific behavior.

While millions of families have missed paychecks or seen their health care costs skyrocket… Trump builds a ballroom, remodels his bathrooms, and throws a Great Gatsby-themed party at Mar-a-Lago.

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings β€” especially on the economy and cost of living β€” are now in the negative double digits.

Remember: Trump is a failing president.

He is not all powerful.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Since Donald Trump took office, electricity prices have gone up by 11%.

If only Trump cared about lowering costs as much as his new White House bathroom.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Amazon announced plans to lay off 14,000 employees as it looks to invest more in AI.

Wall Street cheered the news, sending Amazon stock prices higher.

This will boost Amazon's CEO pay and bolster Jeff Bezos's net worth, which is now $250 billion.

The system is rigged.

Why Is Trump Autocracy Rising? These Dems Have an Unnerving Answer. A new Biden administration autopsy, based on internal assessments from many government insiders, has crystal clear lessons for the future.

SCOOP --> Major new Bidenworld autopsy just dropped: 45 former Biden officials candidly assess their mistakes and failings in new Roosevelt Institute report. They lay out the beginnings of a Project 2029 agenda to reverse authoritarian tide.
