Fascinating how every time Democrats get power back these giant financial bubbles built on flimsy schemes burst immediately. Wonder why that is.
The Nasdaq closed in correction territory Thursday, wiping out roughly $2.5 trillion in market value, as investors grappled with the possibility that Democrats' midterm gains could put the brakes on the massive data center buildout underpinning the industry's growth and powering the US economy. cnn.it/4zunNg1
Lol no, the DNC did not do this. State party chairs and thousands of volunteers did this. Ken Martin still has to go.

Thank God someone is protecting the White House from being destroyed.
Trump: We have something that’s of great interest to a lot of people: the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room.
And I’m going to be signing a document which will make them into a landmark for the ages. It won’t be able to be taken down, destroyed, touched, or anything else.
It’s a federal landmark. And when completed, and when we get the documentation fully done, legally binding, it’ll make it impossible for anybody ever to destroy this incredible space.

This is like watching James Harden explain why his team lost in the playoffs
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Among Melania Trump's White House guests Thursday will be Yana Lantratova, sanctioned for her alleged role in the abduction of a Ukrainian baby in 2022. Details:

Dimitrov speaking behind our seal is offensive and gross, he should have been arrested as soon as he stepped foot on American soil.

El-Sayed won a majority of the Jewish vote in Michigan. Yes, he did more poorly than other Democrats but all the data shows that American Jews are deeply, painfully, divided about very basic questions related to Israel.
Who gives you the authority to speak on behalf of "American Jews?"
Who elected you Pope?
"El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan, along with the election of some far-left, virulently anti-Israel candidates in the House, will be a warning sign for American Jews and pro-Israel voters alarmed by the Democratic Party’s chilliness towards the Jewish state and tone-deafness towards rising antisemitism.
But given how many Democrats won on conservative turf, the far-left lawmakers will have decidedly less leverage in the new Congress, and will be outnumbered by the numerous red-state and red-district Democrats who won tough races by appealing to moderate voters.
DMFI celebrated the long list of pro-Israel moderates who won, including Reps.-elect Elaine Luria (D-VA), Cait Conley (D-NY), Marni von Wilpert (D-CA) and Bobby Pulido (D-TX)."

Trump-endorsed Republican Victoria Spartz, who moved from Ukraine to Indiana at 21 and became the first Ukrainian-born member of Congress, lost her seat last night. In 2024 she voted against Ukraine aid when Russia was bombing the region she grew up in. She also said Ukraine can’t demand to keep all its land.
This would be the absolute dumbest thing he could do if he wants to run in 2028.
NEW: CBS News’ @JenniferJJacobs reports that Ron DeSantis is being floated as a possible replacement for Pete Hegseth. Under one scenario, DeSantis could be confirmed by the Senate during the lame-duck session and take over as Secretary of Defense when his term as Florida governor ends on January 5.

NEW: With a Trump admin reshuffle expected, confidante Sergio Gor is expected to rise. 10 sources says he's laid the groundwork for months, with potential posts ranging from White House chief of staff to top roles at State - even Rubio's!

“Please don’t cut our aid funding”
To all our friends in the United States and around the world:
The Israeli people have voted for change and to replace the current government.
Our democracy remains strong and vibrant. We are working to fulfill the will of the Israeli people by forming a new government as soon as possible - a national emergency government.
I intend to bring new leadership to Israel, leadership that serves all Israelis. Together with my partners, we will build a stronger Israel: A Jewish and democratic Israel. An Israel that is committed to liberal values, equality for all and is confident in its future.
The bond between Israel and the United States is more than an alliance between governments. It is a partnership between peoples, built over generations, sustained by shared democratic values, and strengthened by the conviction that our nations are more secure and more prosperous when we stand together.
Under my leadership, we will renew and deepen that partnership, strengthen the bipartisan foundations that have long sustained it, and work with our allies to advance a Middle East defined not simply by the absence of conflict, but by the presence of opportunity and cooperation.
Israel will remain one of America’s most reliable and capable strategic partners in the Middle East, a partnership that is mutually beneficial for both peoples, in every aspect.
I look forward to working closely and constructively with President Trump and his administration, whose friendship and commitment to Israel we deeply value. Together, we can advance our shared security interests, strengthen regional stability, and open new doors to prosperity for the peoples of the Middle East.
That is the Israel I believe in. And that is the future we intend to build.
לחברינו ושותפינו בארצות הברית וברחבי העולם:
אזרחי ישראל הצביעו בעד שינוי ובעד החלפתה של הממשלה הנוכחית.
הדמוקרטיה שלנו איתנה.
אנו פועלים למימוש רצונם של אזרחי ישראל באמצעות הקמת ממשלה חדשה בהקדם האפשרי - ממשלת חירום לאומית.
בכוונתי להביא לישראל מנהיגות חדשה - כזו שתפעל למען כלל אזרחי ישראל. יחד עם שותפיי, נבנה ישראל חזקה יותר: ישראל יהודית ודמוקרטית, ליברלית ושוויונית, אשר בטוחה בעתידה.
הקשר בין ישראל לארצות הברית הוא הרבה מעבר לברית בין ממשלות. זוהי שותפות בין עמים, שנבנתה לאורך דורות ונשענת על ערכים דמוקרטיים משותפים. זאת, מתוך האמונה כי האומות שלנו בטוחות יותר ומשגשגות יותר כאשר הן עומדות ופועלות יחד.
תחת הנהגתי, נחדש ונעמיק את השותפות הזו, נחזק את היסודות הדו-מפלגתיים שעליהם היא נשענת זה שנים, ונעבוד לקידום המזרח תיכון כולו. נפעל לא רק למען צמצומם של סכסוכים, אלא גם למינופן של הזדמנויות ושיתופי פעולה.
ישראל תמשיך להיות שותפה אסטרטגית מרכזית ומהימנה של ארצות הברית במזרח התיכון.
נתחזק שותפות המיטיבה עם שתי האומות, בכל תחומי החיים.
אני מצפה לעבוד בשיתוף פעולה הדוק ופורה עם הנשיא טראמפ וממשלו. אנו מעריכים עמוקות את ידידותם ומחויבותם העמוקה לישראל.
יחד נוכל לקדם את האינטרסים הביטחוניים המשותפים לנו, לחזק את היציבות האזורית ולפתוח דלתות חדשות לשגשוג עבור המזרח התיכון.
זוהי ישראל שאני מאמין בה וזהו העתיד שאנו מתכוונים לבנות.

What is the point of a politician — let alone a literal vice president — who says he understood all of this and yet did absolutely nothing about it
