Musk spent $200 million+ trying to win one Senate seat in Texas. Spread across the close races instead, roughly $130 million might have kept the whole Senate Republican. newsletter.platypuseconomics…

Trump's supporters are whittle cowards terrified of everyone that isn't White, straight, and Christian.

Conservative "Christians" really hate the fact that Muslims like Abdul El-Sayed have the same freedom of religion as they do.

Twitter beefs are silly but let me respond because there’s a very important point here. And I hope everyone will read this. You’re right. This is not about me. It’s about a billionaire group @MajorityDems convening top Democrats to shape the party’s agenda — and trying to block reporters from covering the transactions and deals cut inside the room. I’m the editor of an award-winning news outlet and I am defending my reporters, who are being punished for their widely read reporting on the billionaire funding of @MajorityDems — reporting that has not been factually disputed, and reporting that has been widely cited in other media etc. What Ilyse represents is a part of the Democratic operative class that is desperate to make clear to billionaires that they will serve them — and defend them — and stoop to Trump-style tactics to do that. That’s how these people make their money. They serve donors. It’s literally their business. It’s not all Dem operatives but it is some, and they are making clear that they want to control the 2028 primary, and make sure there is no scrutiny of the process. You can hate me, you can insist like a high schooler that I wasn’t “invited” to your fancy party. But it’s not about me at all. It’s about the attempt to paywall the Democratic presidential primary. That’s what this is — and @LeverNews will continue to report on that, whether these career operatives like it or not.
The fact that you are dismissing a gathering of strategists, organizers, grassroots activists and long-shot candidates, now electeds who poured their entire life force into an historic election because you weren’t invited is telling on yourself. Seriously, it’s not all about you.

BREAKING: Trump is reposting false claims that the midterm results were manipulated, including calls for hand counts and doubts about James Talarico's Texas Senate win. It comes less than four days after he said he was "absolutely willing" to accept the results. demdock.com/3UJy0WG

There's a lady named Dana White who works as a DoD public affairs assistant, and I'd bet money somebody recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC Dana White. Nobody's allowed to correct him because he's an egomaniacal sociopath lol #Midterms2026 #midterms

.@ForecasterEnten: Let's talk about Texas. Look at this. One of the reasons James Talarico won is because of young men in Texas. Donald Trump carried young men — those under the age of 30 — by 24 points. James Talarico won them by 34 points. Wow. A 58 point shift that helped propel him to be the first Democratic senator elected from Texas since 1988.

Listen here, honey. I just voted straight blue for the first time in my life last week, and it was a protest against Trumpism. Now I've got something to tell you. If you don't kick the billionaire class out of your party and take the control away from them, I'll never vote for you again, because you're no different than the GOP. I speak for myself, but I guarantee I also speak for tens of millions of other Americans who only voted for you to protest Trump. If you won't give up the billionaires, drop the woke nonsense, and give us universal health care and universal university education, then we're done. We're never voting for you again, because you're obviously a bunch of pathological liars. 😀 #Midterms2026 #midterms

Also two of the fighters he mentioned are Muslims and Trumpies Hate Muslims. The USA is a joke under Trump.
The Republican Party and President Donald Trump have decided to celebrate their ass whooping, by the Democrat party with recommending as the next White House Press Secretary, Dana White, a man who likes to beat his wife. Ohh, he’s also welcoming the Communist Russians. I am so glad Trump takes the American people so seriously‼️ Anybody still believe MAGA is anything to be taken seriously? A definite step forward for the GOP; the party of WIFE BEATING‼️ #BurnItDown #RedReset
