Disturbing: A big reason Trump won was undecideds couldn't be persuaded that millions of jobs lost in 2020 and death of Roe were Trump's fault, internal Harris campaign polling showed. Biden/Ds let Trump rehab himself to disastrous effect.

Here’s a video produced by “Led by Donkeys” out of the U.K. that puts down the timeline of how Musk used X to get Donald Trump elected. I would save it because I don’t think it will be up for long.
Powell's resolve not to quit for Trump has history. As reported in "The Divider," Powell was told that if Trump tried to fire him he would have to pay out of his own pocket to fight in court. He told allies he would "spend my last nickel" to defend the Fed's independence @sbg1
"He will be surrounded by mostly political sycophants who are there to facilitate whatever it is he wants to do": Former FBI Deputy Director and CNN Senior Law Enforcement analyst Andrew McCabe on what the rule of law could like under Trump's second term.

From 1993 to 2019, before covid and its special migration-limiting rules, the Administration with the fewest removals of undocumenteds by far was...Trump's, fewer than 400K a year. Under Obama it was 600K, 1.25M under Bush, 1.5M under Clinton.
The politics of fantasy and lies.
JUST IN: A judge has denied a Jan. 6 defendant's bid to stave off sentencing in the hope of receiving a pardon from Trump.
"The potential future exercise of discretionary pardon power … is irrelevant to the court’s obligation to carry out the [court's] legal responsibilities"

I think Dems obviously need to rethink
some of their policies, and their rhetoric. But losing by 1.5% in the popular vote (and by barely larger margins than that in most swing states) is not a "resounding repudiation."

This is ridiculous. Biden was the most pro-labor president in 60 yrs. His stimulus plan was targeted to get people back to work. Working-class people saw their real wages grow faster than any other group. Dems did not abandon the working class. The working class abandoned them.
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.

My heart goes out to so many people today, but my first thoughts today have been about the courageous people of Ukraine, fighting with and for their lives for democracy and freedom. We let them down.🇺🇦
