Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Trump's own lawyer just admitted to the Supreme Court that American consumers pay 30%-80% of these insane Trump tariffs.

Over the next 10 years, Trump says they will collect over $4T in tariffs.

So that means American families are going to be paying $1.2T-$3.3 trillion dollars in TARIFF TAXES.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

The whole concept of the behaviors show by ICE under Trump is unique in US government history.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them β€œviolent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

πŸ“Œ Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

As would be expected, Trump comments on the election results with claims about the facts in his favor. He has generously offered to not prevent food to the poor, if the Democrats will learn to obey him. SNAP funding could be allowed, but only after the Democrats obey.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M β€” 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

While the GOP remains in control of all branches of government at this time, the first indication of the scale of the contention opposed to Trump's claim of absolute authority from God is apparent even with the threats and intimidation. Social science always indicated this was unsustainable anyway.

Governor-Elect Spanberger's daughter crying because she is so proud of her mother, and her sister holding her hand to comfort her, shows that Abigail Spanberger is not just a great politician, but also a wonderful mother.

Someone who had been threatening to kill Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) was arrested today after trying to enter the Capitol complex after telling Garcia's office he was coming to kill him.

It is most probable based on the available behavioral data profile study, that some kind of action will come from this White House, seeking "election accountability" some way, possibly seeking through DOGE to seize voting machines or full program access to them and Servers. Trump has fun.

It is purity of idealism word behavior as has been the pattern in this campaign and this political action. The social science of behavior finds no forecasting capacity on operational realities of functions of government in this activity. Most probably Cuomo's name exists still in New York.

We won our lawsuit against the federal government for trying to force states to comply with its immigration policies or give up billions of dollars in funding for transportation.

This is a major victory to protect our communities and vital infrastructure.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

This final term of the Mayor of New York City will go down in history, most probably. The economic realities with New York will work out the restructuring, to the cities of Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Manhattan soon. Congratulations on purity of ideals demands, so it is now all fixed

In criminology one of the "team theory" patterns is related to Kellys Exchange theory. Terms explaining why the use of the army is done, are seen as necessary trade of action to match the mortal threat. Since Dems are extremist terrorists, war is the only solution left to him. Same in "Mein Kampf."

It is amazing that Trump saves the United States of America today from wasting "billions" of dollars, ("many fold," so then trillions) of dollars the Democrats tried to spend on SNAP benefits. We almost lost trillions of dollars today to SNAP? And nobody in the fake news mentioned it? Trump has fun!

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

The NYTimes article points out that given how legal it was to order revenge prosecutions of the AG of New York and the former FBI Director, there's no reason to think Trump organization will not go after the retired US Army generals. Trump has fun. youtu.be/34cFrYjcSQs?...
