We are returning to @Substack!
We're very excited to be returning to @Substack after 3 great years of doing our live nightly show, System Update, on @rumblevideo.
I'm particularly happy to be getting back to written reporting and long investigations. We'll have our first up today.

MEGYN KELLY: “The [Republican] Party cannot just keep limping along in this condition. Massive change does have to come!”
GLENN GREENWALD: “I was thinking about both parties—how both parties need a kind of destruction and realization. The Democrats also need a radical and fundamental transformation!”

MEGYN KELLY: "What does this mean for A.I.P.A.C.?"
GLENN GREENWALD: "Yeah... I mean, Trump himself came out this morning—it was kind of desperate—and said, 'We're cutting off aid to Israel.'"
That doesn't mean the lobby or its influence will disappear, however. Watch more here:

MEGYN KELLY: "Their argument is, 'The reason Iran didn't go well is because [Trump] didn't double and triple down, he didn't put ground troops—'"
GLENN GREENWALD: "That's always their argument. Iraq. Vietnam. Same thing. 'We fought with one hand tied behind our back.'"

The NYT needle has a greater than 95% chance now that Darline Graham will lose the Senate seat in deeply red South Carolina.
Let this be a huge blow against the idea that political seats are like inherited titles that aristocratically transfer upon death to one's closest kin.

Some Republican pundits are blaming tonight's early loses on poor candidate quality, but "candidate quality is really a byproduct of where the Republican Party is."
"They don't want the John Cornyns—this is what the Trump Republican Party has turned into!"
Projection:
Democrat Annie Andrews is the Projected Winner in the South Carolina Senate election. She will defeat Incumbent Republican Senator Darline Graham.
Democratic Gain

Glenn Greenwald explains why he could have a chance: "He's sufficiently critical of Israel, but he's also Jewish, which gives a kind of immunity to antisemitism charges."
Decision Desk HQ projects Jon Ossoff wins the GA US Senate General Election

If Democrats perform well tonight, voters' attention will turn to 2028 and their next presidential nominee.
Glenn Greenwald floats the obvious "new" name—the one with the best name recognition in the party: A.O.C.
But does she really have a chance? Watch his analysis here:

What word captures tonight's potential Republican blowout? "BETRAYAL," says Glenn Greenwald.
Contrast Trump's current preoccupations with his nascent 2016 pledge: "I'm standing up for the forgotten men and women. We're gonna reorient Washington to care about you—America first!"
