For those across the world trying to stay informed about the health of the U.S. & its govt, you need only look carefully at the President's current physical appearance & the unscripted words out of his mouth.This will tell you all you need to know of our dire situation as it spirals down by the day.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

So the Republican House continues the shut down of Trump's dysfunctional government, is that right? It's all crumbling!

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

My thought for today: The results of this election should confirm for all Americans that perseverance, integrity, honesty, and speaking your truth are the true American values and each of us has a responsibility to do our part for our country. We can’t sit back and hope others will step up.

I know that the President is hurting right now, but at least he has his health, his approval ratings and his wife to provide him comfort during these difficult times. Might be time to get a dog though. 😊

I would just like to ask the Republican Party to please put Stephen Miller in front cameras as much as possible from now until the midterms because he is such a likable & charismatic person with so many amazing & popular ideas for people who aren’t white Christian nationalists.

Any updates today about Trump's fabulous ballroom?

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

It would be great if Stephen Miller could make more endorsements of candidates!

I hope that Andrew Cuomo and all his fans move down to Mar-a-Lago where they belong.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.

But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.

You can’t negotiate with people like that.

The fascist regime is heading to the bunkers as we speak. They are desperate and people are sick of their lies, greed and corruption.

"One manager for a Home Depot location who spoke to me on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information told me sales are down 20 percent in some of the city’s stores."

SCOOP: Immigration Groups Weigh Boycott of Home Depot

As ICE raids target the home-improvement chain, what does the company owe its customers and the immigrants who do work for them?

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Thanks to endorsements for Andrew Cuomo by Trump, Musk and even Stephen Miller, Mamdani cruised to victory! 💙💙💙
