Is Donald Trump's iron grip on the Republican party starting to slip?
In his first post-election interview, Donald Trump used the line every losing party uses when asked to explain defeats:
“It’s no good if we do a great job and you don’t talk about it. And I don’t think they talk about it enough.”
Uh huh.

What surprised me the most on Tuesday night was how self-aware (and good) Zohran Mamdani's victory speech was.
It's going to be harder for Republicans to demonize him than they think.

We know that cable TV doesn't cover election nights all that well.
It's slow. They don't acknowledge what's happening off their air. They focus on ONLY 1-3 big races.
What if there was a better option? Tuesday night there will be!

I have been thinking a lot this week about Graham Platner.
He is the leading edge of a generation that came of age during the Internet, social media etc.
Does that change how people react when past pics/statements etc get surfaced?

Kamala Harris has finally found her 2028 message: “It’s all Joe Biden’s fault.”
She’s dragging her old boss at — from her memoir to her podcast interviews — as if throwing him under the bus might erase 2024.
It won’t.
