BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republican Senator Bill Cassidy just BETRAYED Donald Trump and made clear that Trump's behavior was so corrupt even Republicans need to speak up against it. Holy smokes.

I’ve been going nonstop supporting President Trump @realDonaldTrump ever since he came down the golden escalator. As many of you know, I am chronically tuned in, online, and I am always working. I am a machine. Some days I work more than 18 hours. My work has been one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever done. The people I’ve met, the energy and rush I feel from exposing things and breaking stories, the sense that the work I do actually matters… I’m grateful for all of it. I’m grateful for all of you. There is more to life than work though, and I am trying to learn that and practice it. It’s been very hard for me to be honest. Very very hard. I’ve been running on empty for too long. Family, my personal life, my upcoming wedding, a healthy work life balance and just the act of having a life outside of my show and my work have all been on hold. So I’m taking a hiatus from my show @LoomerUnleashed, which I livestream twice a week. I just need to step back, recharge, refocus, and be present in my own life and my own mind with peace and clarity for a little while and I also want to redesign my studio and enjoy wedding planning with the love of my life who deserves more of my time and energy. He deserves to see me happy, and I deserve to be happy. We deserve to be happy together at this time in our lives. I have wanted to redo my studio for a year, but I keep pushing it all off, because that’s what I do. I push things off that matter to me and my happiness to do for others 24/7, and I think I need to change that for a brief moment. I’ll still be paying attention, fully supporting President Trump, breaking news, commenting on news, doing research and I’ll be around. I will be present (I always am). But, I won’t be doing my show for a while. I’ll be back when the time is right. Thank you to everyone who’s been on this ride with me and to all of my podcast viewers. It means more to me than I can say.

Why did Florida (largely) escape the blue wave and Texas didn't? 3 key reasons: 1. Florida had a property tax reduction measure on the ballot. Drove turnout & showed GOP serious about affordability. 40% of Texas voters said economy top issue. So did 37% of Florida voters. But HOW they voted differed a lot. Among Florida voters who considered economy top issue, 55% voted Republican. Among Texas voters who saw economy as top issue, only 40% voted Republican. 2. Cuban voters. As @giancarlosopo wrote, they still voted more Republican than other Hispanic blocs, although fewer supported Republicans than in 2024. 3. Florida had an actual socialist candidate. Exit polls showed Texas and Floridians had similar views about socialism, but again, actual voting patterns differed. 87% of those who viewed socialism unfavorably voted for Ashley Moody. Only 79% of those who viewed socialism unfavorably voted for Ken Paxton.

“The Stock Market suffered one of the Worst Days in History based on the results of the Election. Such a sad thing to watch! It took so much work to get us to a level that no one has ever seen before, and then this. Your 401(k)s have, therefore, dropped. Remember, it wasn’t Republicans, it was Dumocrats...”

i'm crying mirra liked this reel where sabalenka asks her about jessica drama and she hits her with a tennis ball 😭😭😭

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump by stroke of pen signs proclamation protecting the Oval Office from ever being demolished "It will not be allowed to be touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped down by stupid people, in order to build something in a slightly different shape. We like the Oval Office." 🇺🇸 "We're declaring it a National Monument, send it over to Congress and ratify it." "VERY important place. The biggest people come through...and they're in this room, and they can't believe it." I'm glad the White House is not only being upgraded but preserved ALL future presidents should appreciate this!

The stock market will never recover from this crash. Mark my words, it’s OVER for investors. Laugh all you want but we will not “bounce back” from this one.

In 2024 Florida voters sent 20 Republicans and 8 Democrats to the US House. In April 2026, Florida enacted a revised map to unwind an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Last night, Florida voters likely elected 20 Republicans and 8 Democrats to the US House. Had the old map been in effect, it would have been 18 Republicans and 10 Democrats.

Because he is a patriot and he has done a fantastic job as Secretary of War.

I don't claim to be an expert in human behavior, but I've watched Trump for 11 years now, and I'm pretty good at pattern recognition. I noticed something in his demeanor today that should give his enemies pause: He's way too quiet about what happened last night. Quiet Trump is scary Trump. Think about it. Leading up to the 2020 election, this man told us over and over that the Democrats were going to steal it. And when they did steal it, he never stopped talking about it. The same goes for the Russia hoax, the impeachments, the Biden border fiasco, and the relentless lawfare against him. You name it. He has spoken out loudly about the wrongs done to him and to our country. Last night Republicans lost their majority in the House and Senate, as well as the governor's seats in Texas, Ohio, and other red states. It was an epic beatdown, if we're being honest. And the Democrats' margins of victory are FAR greater than the wins they put on the board in 2020. Anybody with basic math skills can see they cheated. Nobody gets close to 1 million more votes in a midterm election in a RED state than Kamala got in 2024. And then the pattern repeats across multiple states? I mean, come on. And what did Trump do? He congratulated them on prime-time TV. And in every media appearance all day. And he never said a peep about cheating. Not even a hint. That's odd. If the Democrats have any sense (and I'm not sure they do), they would take this as a very bad sign. I can count on one hand the times I've seen him this way. And the outcome never ended well for his enemies. The thing about an apex predator is you never know when they'll strike. But if you know what to look for, there will be signs. Democrats, here's your sign.

Deportations will continue.

History was made last night. For months, we were saying that 2026 was the most consequential midterm election of our lifetimes. Unfortunately, we were right. Sometimes history is to be celebrated; other times, it is to be mourned. Always, it must be reckoned with. 2026 was not simply a blue wave; it was a blue tsunami. It was an ass kicking. It was not simply a bad 2006 midterm election. It was a Watergate-level repudiation. What happened, and why? What are the consequences, and where on earth do we go from here? When all the votes were counted, the problem wasn’t turnout. Instead, our voters, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents, showed up and voted, and rejected our candidates, voting Democrat instead. We’ve lost the House. We’ve lost the Senate. When all is said and done, we will have lost eight to 10 Senate seats. We lost in historically red states, like South Carolina and North Carolina, Kansas and Iowa. We lost in purple states, like Michigan, and New Hampshire, and Georgia. And we just barely won by just a single point in bright red states like Florida and Louisiana, and then there’s Texas. Nowhere are the consequences of this election greater than Texas. In the Lone Star State, we lost every single statewide election. For weeks, I had been publicly warning on this podcast that we were in very real danger of losing everything in Texas. Far too few believed that was possible. I am very, very sorry that it came to pass. Texas has not had a Democrat governor since 1994. We haven’t had a Democrat senator since 1993. Now we’ll have both. Why were the results so overwhelming? Pundits and analysts will break down the results for weeks or months or even years to come, but several things are already evident today. Years ago, the very best political advice I ever got was from Heidi. She said, “It’s not about you. It’s about them. It’s about their kids, their families, their hopes, their dreams, their futures.” Too many politicians forget that. Take the state of Kansas, for example, a state that has not elected a Democrat senator since 1932. It just did. Here’s what exit polling showed were the top issues in Kansas. Number one, cost of living, energy, and groceries. That was listed as number one by 30.6 percent of voters. Corruption. Number two, 18.5%. The cost of the Iran war, 10.1%. The candidates are terrible, 7.9%. The Canada trade war, 7.6%. The GOP didn’t do enough to support Trump, 6.6%. Republicans didn’t pass the Save America Act, 5.6%. Trump’s focus on monuments, 5.5%, and data centers and AI, 3.8%. The top issue, cost of living, is very real. Too many in politics dismissed it. They didn’t understand. They pointed to the macro numbers showing the stock markets soaring, median income at record highs, and poverty at record lows. Those data are true, but they don’t tell all of the story. Here are some stats that are a lot more real and personal. Spam, Hormel’s processed meat substitute, broke record sales, selling 113 million cans last year. That is nearly as much spam as was sold during the entirety of World War II. 29 percent of Americans have used buy now, pay later for groceries this year. That’s double the share just two years ago. In August, banks repossessed 42% more homes than they did last year. In 2024, car repossessions topped 2.3 million, above the 2009 peak in the middle of the Great Financial Crisis. In 2025, 6% of 401k holders took hardship withdrawals, paying penalties. That is a record, and triple the norm. And here’s one that’s really stunning. Americans made more than 75 million paid plasma donations in 2026. That’s another record. That means 200,000 Americans every single day, with a needle in their arm, just to pay for groceries. That is very real pain from real Americans, and too many Republican politicians seem like they didn’t understand or they didn’t care. Food is too high, gas is too high, diesel is too high, insurance is too high, life is too high. Tariffs have made everything too expensive, and the Iran war has dragged on too long. It should have been brief, decisive, and over. It needs to end, and we should never, under any circumstances, give the Ayatollah billions of dollars. There’s a very real economic disconnect. Our K-shaped economy is a yawning divide. Last year, we saw the world’s very first trillionaire, a modern-day Thomas Edison, at the very same time that millions were struggling to feed their families. Data centers being constructed were turning billionaires into centibillionaires, while simultaneously the average American’s electricity bill went up 30% in the last five years. Understandably, people were pissed off, and elected Republicans didn’t do enough to address their very real pain. So, what do we do now? We need to listen and respond. We need to champion economic policies that make a real difference in working people’s lives, and we need to deal with the consequences. Texas is blue. That is a hard sentence to utter. But Texas, today at least, is blue. As we sit here today, I am the only statewide elected Republican who remains in Texas. That’s not something I ever thought I would say. We can be certain that the Democrats in Austin and in Washington will overshoot. In Texas, they will try to raise taxes dramatically. They may even try to adopt a state income tax, or even a California wealth tax. They will try to shut down the energy industry, destroying jobs across our state. They will embrace the radical transgender agenda. They will persecute those they perceive to be enemies, especially Elon Musk. And in Washington, they will attack Trump every single day, constantly. Impeachment hearings, subpoenas, his family, cabinet members, business leaders, open persecution, and nonstop retaliation. Make no mistake. Nationally, the radicals are in charge. The communists and the Islamists who have taken over the Democrat Party have now taken over the United States Congress. They will be unleashed. Sadly, that means many Americans will be hurt. Texans will be hurt. Their assault on business will make Texas a much less attractive place to start or grow a small business. Texas will become more like California if they succeed in halting all new investment into AI. The economic results will be dramatic. Over $700 billion in new projects are scheduled to start in the next year. If the Democrats shut them all down, our country will very likely go into a recession. That will suit the Democrats just fine. They’ll just blame it all on Donald Trump. In the next two years, we need to do two things. One, fight the madness. I will work with Democrats when they’re willing to be reasonable. Last night, I called James Talarico. I congratulated him on his very impressive victory. It was a pleasant conversation, and I told him that I looked forward to working with him to try to benefit Texas. So, if there are things like flood relief for the Hill Country, or trying to get the space academy to Texas, he and I will work together. But if the newly elected radicals push policies that hurt Texas, raising taxes, destroying jobs, opening the border, releasing violent criminals, threatening our children, undermining our constitutional rights, I will fight with all of my strength to defend Texas and to defend the Constitution. And number two, we need to rebuild, getting behind policies that directly benefit the constituents we lost. There’s a complicated story, no doubt, of what happened on Election Day, but as I see it, the key constituencies we lost were blue-collar voters, what had rightly become the core base of our party, Evangelical Christians, who didn’t show up with the same numbers and fervor as prior elections, farmers and ranchers. Tragically, we alienated rural America. Young people, who excitedly had voted Republican in 2024, and who shifted hard blue this cycle. And of course, Hispanics. For Hispanics, there’s a strong overlap with young people and blue-collar workers. In 2024, just two years ago, I was proud to carry Hispanics statewide in Texas by six points, and we swung the Rio Grande Valley red for the first time in a century. It can be done, but in this election, those Hispanic voters overwhelmingly went back Democrat. We have got to turn that around. And for young people, we need to be the party of the future. We need to champion policies that expand their future. Our two single biggest legislative accomplishments of the past two years, Trump Accounts and the school choice tax credit, which will unleash tens of billions of dollars in new scholarships for kids, are generationally powerful. I was proud to author both of those transformational policies, and yet too few candidates all across the country ran on that record. Too few voters were even aware of what we’d accomplished for their kids and their future. But we need to build. We need to expand to continue creating a new investor class for hundreds of millions of Americans, help everyone, every American, become an owner, to have real skin in the game, to create new generations of capitalists ready to reject socialism. People voted as they did because they were angry. Ironically, the Democrats that they elected are going to advance policies that will make affordability worse. The Democrats want gas prices higher. They want to ban gasoline engines altogether. Their extreme environmental mandates will drive up food prices and the prices of everything else. But hear me now: we will bring Texas back. I am filled with hope and optimism. Texas will be red again. We have not suddenly become a bunch of tofu-eating, gun-banning, tutu-wearing pinko commie liberals. That ain’t us. Texas is still Texas. We will rebuild as a true blue-collar party, not by embracing socialism, but by being real free-market conservatives. The way we built the Texas economic miracle in the first place, and we will build and rebuild America as well. When the zealots overreach, and they will, we will stand ready to lead in the direction of freedom, of prosperity, of safety, and security, and common sense. We will return to a new dawn of freedom in America. It is dark right now, but it is always darkest before the dawn, and morning is coming. That is my fervent prayer, and that is my commitment to you.

🚨 JUST IN: Rep. Clay Fuller (R-GA) announces after the blue tsunami he is IMMEDIATELY getting to work to slash prices — and serve forgotten men and women, young people and independents who feel abandoned "I'm going to fight each and every day over the next two years to make sure we're bringing DOWN gas prices, bringing DOWN grocery prices." "I'm going to bring back a manufacturing base for these forgotten men and women." "To young voters, independents, for far too long, you felt ignored by this movement...I'm going to be going directly to those voting blocs and making this case to win the hearts and minds, to build a new, permanent and enduring majority." 🇺🇸 "To all those conservatives that were out there for so many months working for campaigns...get back into the arena. Because if we want a country by the people, of the people, for the people to long endure, you have to get back in there and win the hearts and minds. And we're going to be able to do it." Well said 👏🏻👏🏻

🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in! Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in. We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat. I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers! Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable. Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR. Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim! Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership. The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.” My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions: 1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes 2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order 3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected 4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored 5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule. I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session. The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly. @GregAbbott_TX

Republicans lost so badly last night that a Democrat who had quit his state House race in Iowa due to health problems back in September won anyway. Eric Armstrong (D) easily beat Keith Jones (R) in a lean-right seat. After winning the election, Armstrong says he will try his best to represent his people but reminded them that he still has health problems. "I’m going to do my best to represent... But I still have health issues; that’s what I’m struggling with," he said, according to The New York Times. Back in September, Armstrong said he had personal health issues that required him to back out of the race. "Our District deserves a representative who can give 100 percent of their energy to this race," he said at the time. He won anyway. Absolutely brutal night for Republicans.
