With Democrats either winning or significantly over performing in every single election this year

When you now add in Eileen Higgins blowout win in Miami with Eric Gisler’s shocking victory in a ruby red Georgia district, Republicans should be extremely concerned about the midterm elections

Is the positive spin here that at least he was awake long enough to post this?

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

💥 Huge night in Florida.
Democrats overperformed everywhere.

Miami flipped blue with a nearly 90-point swing.
Palm Beach’s House race swung 18 left.
The Villages’ Senate race swung 22.

This is a warning shot for 2026.

It is now beyond doubt, in both deed and rhetoric,that this administration is racist and misogynist. So too are MAGA who still support them.

True conservatives of courage and conviction must clean house, or be judged the same.

There is no longer any defense.

A quote by George Orwell on a beige background. “The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.” - George Orwell, 1984

Robert Reich’s Substack from today is a must read! The video is excellent and a window into his real decline!

Reich is right: reading about it is one thing, watching it is something else entirely.

LAST THING: This is a development in a GOP state where Republicans like Diaz-Balart, Salazar, Gimenez, and DeSantis have tried to paint DEMs as communists/(which, ofc, is a lie

There’s is a cost to rising prices + pushing Cubans/Venezuelans/a Haitians in front of the deportation bus

There is going to be a TON of punditry and about what this means for the FL Dems — so here’s my FL Man analysis

1. Republicans at the state/local level are in disarray

2. Higgins (MIA) follows a similar upset by Deegan (JAX)

3. The BS election conspiracy has no room to stand in GOP dominant state

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.

She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.
