Well, I expected the GOP could keep the Senate. Nope. Bloodbath. The GOP will say it's just Iran and gas prices. It's that. But so much more than that.

Recurring PSA: tariffs and trade wars are incredibly dumb.

You can't really top the classical imagery of Trump deciding that his closing argument should involve gazing at his own reflection in a pool of water.
Am I disgusted? Sure am. But there's nothing left to do at this point: nationalreview.com/2026/11/t…

And we’re underway in “election officials had one job and couldn’t do it”
There is a problem with every ballot scanner in Westchester County. We do not yet know the exact cause of the issue, whether it is the ballot or the machine. The Board of Elections is working with their vendors to resolve it.
However, every ballot will be counted. Stay on line and vote. Do not leave the polling place without voting.

The best thing for the country is a divided Congress that will prevent anyone from doing anything.
Because both parties are utter garbage. Nobody deserves much power these days.

Clinton might be the only person in either party who understands politics.

So she’s been wonderful to you on a personal level, but you are joining the pile on any way. Did you think this post made you look good?
I know @HaleyforMI way better than most people on X. She and I came into Congress together in 2018. She was co-Prez of our freshman class. She was incredibly kind to me when my late partner died; she organized a big group of our class to come to the House floor to support me when I spoke about his suicide. We were roommates in 2023, after my wonderful first roomie lost her election; both my adult kids know Haley well and are on a texting basis with her. We’ve socialized and we have good friends in common. While she and I differ on one impt issue, specifically Israel and AIPAC support, I’ve never publicly challenged her on those things, because I felt that her good points outweighed the issues I disagreed with her on. Today, that changes. 👇
Haley’s endorsement of Rogers in the MI senate race is appalling. Not because he’s a Republican, but because what he stands for is what she, and I, and our caucus has fought so hard against. Rogers is a 100% anti-choice politician. He is a Trump loyalist. He’s shown his Islamophobia in his many remarks against @AbdulElSayed, and with this endorsement, Haley has shown that she agrees with his positions. I’m shocked by Haley’s endorsement. I’m terribly sad and disappointed. I’m furious and will be more so if we lose the MI senate race. So many people in the Democratic Party have shown so much support to Haley over the years, and she has betrayed them all. If this is because of her new relationship (about which many of us were so happy for her after she lost the primary), all I can say is that any woman who abandons her friends when a new guy comes along is no friend at all. The fallout for Haley won’t just be in Dem politics; she will be a pariah among her friends in the Democratic caucus in Congress. Only she will be able to decide whether it was worth it.

Will Wheaton complaining that smart people aren’t nice to him.
This clearly has to change, dumb people should be bullying him too.
Will Wheaton explains why being bullied for being intelligent doesn’t give you the right to bully others.
Jonathan Frakes: “You spoke to or are a member of or what is this with the Mensa society?”
Will Wheaton: “My son Ryan is in Mensa. He had to take the test as a minor and get special permission. He was the only kid in there.”
“He went in very confident and he came out like white as a sheet, like he had just walked through Bastogne. And he goes, ‘Well, that was humbling.’”
“You can be really, really smart and feel like nobody gets you. That doesn’t make it okay for you to go and be a bully to people.”
“As adults in this world, we have this opportunity and a responsibility to see that in kids and nurture it and encourage it.”

Ah yes the "Jews secretly manipulating gentiles into doing things they didn't want to do" approach from the people who definitely aren't antisemites

So hilariously revealing to see people who built brands the past decade by pretending to think some things are bigger than party loyalty now melting down when a Democrat valued something more than party loyalty.

It’s not the he disagrees with her, or is upset about her change of heart. He goes straight to calling her “evil.” They have to make her less than human, destroy her, maybe worse.
