Election Consequences🗳️: The intrepid Mike Allen is out with a must-read piece on how Democrats in the Senate feel emboldened to "hold out" for Republican concessions to reopen the government. - Meantime🗣️: President Trump blames Republican losses on the shutdown and demanded Republicans blow up the filibuster to reopen the government.
- 🤷🏼♂️With friends like these, who needs enemies?
- 🧐How do Republicans keep blaming Democrats for the shutdown when Trump is blaming Republicans?
- Prediction👀: Things are about to get interesting — you might remember we predicted the shutdown would come to an inflection point over Thanksgiving — both travel and buying turkeys.
- 🦃Thanksgiving is a little over three weeks away.
- Pressure: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the FAA will start proactively slowing air traffic at 40 major airports.
- 🤷🏼♂️Is he trying to pressure Republicans or Democrats?
- 🤦🏼♂️My head hurts.

😬Many Republicans today feel the way Democrats did a year ago when President Trump ran — terrified of the country's future. - Point of clarification‼️: Promising to deport illegal aliens is slightly less of a threat than supporting Hamas and embracing socialism.
- To be fair⚖️: Let's assume both sides have sincerely held beliefs.
- 🚨It's impossible to spin the results as "good for Republicans" — it's a warning in every sense of the word.
- 💵Mostly, it's a warning on the economy.
👀Democrats were wrong a year ago that democracy was ending — Republicans are wrong now to warn communism is coming. - Reality🤷🏼♂️: Democrats won the governorship in two blue states, a referendum in blue California, and New York City continued its move to socialism.
- 😶This is not the nationwide referendum Democrats and their friends in the media claim.
- 👎🏼When Trump isn't on the ballot, Republicans do poorly.
- 💸 The economy has not turned around — clearly.
- 🧍🏼♀️Women showed up unlike they did in 2024 and moved drastically more socialist (especially in NYC).
GREAT NEWS😀: Despite warnings that Trump would end elections, one year after his victory, another election supposedly repudiated everything he is for. - Fair question for Democrats⁉️: So is Trump ending democracy or good for it?
ETERNAL TRUTH🧾: For Democrats celebrating and for Republicans ringing alarm bells - 🗳️Remember, the midterms are a year away.
- ‼️THINGS CHANGE.
- 💭Vivek Ramaswamy understands the message —
- 🎤"Our side needs to focus on affordability. Make the American dream affordable. Bring down costs, electric costs, grocery costs, healthcare costs and housing costs and lay out how we're gonna do it. And number two, cut out the identity politics. It doesn't suit Republicans," says Ramaswamy.
- 🤷🏼♂️Seems pretty basic — it's the economy, stupid.
- 🤦🏼♂️We have said this for the past six months.
- 👫Tomi Lahren addressed the stunning gender gap that's split wide open —
- 🎤"The Republican Party is gonna have to learn how to close the gender gap and Republicans are not gonna like when I say this, but… you're losing with millennial and Gen Z women. I could tell you part of the reason why… Stop lecturing women on how they should stay home and be wives and mothers. It's not your business. Focus on what women VOTERS actually care about, the economy and safety," says Lahren.
Law of Politics📄: Let's for a minute assume that the economy remains voters' No. 1 issue. - 1️⃣Trump and Republicans have a year — really nine months — for people to FEEL things are getting better.
- Yikes🤷🏼♂️: Trump is falling into the Biden trap of TELLING everyone how great things are.
- 🎤Biden: "Our economy is the envy of the world."
- 🎙️Trump: "We have the hottest economy we've ever had."
- 🎤Biden: "Thanksgiving was the fourth cheapest on record."
- 🎙️Trump: "Walmart just announced that the cost of their standard Thanksgiving meal. It's 25% lower than one year ago."
- 🎤Biden: "Gas prices are coming down."
- 🎙️Trump: "Gasoline prices have plummeted to the lowest in two decades."
- 🎤Biden: "The stock market has hit record after record after record on my watch."
- 🎙️Trump: "Stock market is at a record high. Just recently, record high, record high, record high."
- Silence🤫: The economy might be the only thing where it doesn't matter what the president of the United States says.
- 🤷🏼♂️He is the most powerful person in the world — but can't repeal the laws of economics.
Prediction👀: If Trump's tariffs work as promised, Trump and Republicans have nothing to worry about a year from now – if they don't, Democrats will actually have the blowout mandate they claimed yesterday was. |
🤦🏼♂️Within hours after winning, Zohran Mamdani became all the things we were told he was not. - 🎤"We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about," says Mamdani.
- 🗣️Mehdi Hassan is thrilled
- 🎤"Well guys, you're gonna have to learn his f***ing name now," says Hasan.
- At least one billionaire is thrilled — George Soros' son
- 🤨What he didn't say last night: "America," "Americans."
- "I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas! Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses! Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties!" said Mamdani.
- Countries not mentioned … "America."
- 🤬He looked angry and sounded angry
- 🎤"I think the Mamdani that we saw on the campaign trail who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing was not present in that speech. … I think his tone was sharp. I think he was using the microphone in a way that he was almost yelling. … I felt like there was a little bit of a character switch here," says CNN's Van Jones
Irony🤦🏼♂️: Mamdani got elected by young college-educated women, which is pretty wild considering he has no problem with Hamas that treats women as property.
Must-read📰: The Free Press "Mamdani's Revolution Has Arrived" written by a reporter who first understood what Mamdani wants. |
