Newsom for President 2028!
This is what they wanted. An excuse to continue ratcheting up their authoritarian control over the nation’s capital.

Healthcare, infrastructure, education, and jobs!

Watch a movie. It’s so good

Absurd, so it isn’t a “peace” deal but a deal of future surrender if Ukraine were to sign it.

2 NG guardsmen from WV were shot while deployed to DC today.
November 26, 2025 at 9:11 PM
This is incompetence costing the lives of NG for a political statement by this corrupt and heartless administration.

God bless those guardsmen but F TRUMP.

I agree 100% unfortunately I don’t see that as realistic with this Putinupblican in the WH

If Russia gets that, Ukraine should receive NATO membership.

Yes he did because Trump said he coordinated the NYC indictment so it must be he also coordinated this one and if it didn’t succeed it’s his fault, or something like that?

It’s pretty obvious Jr just wants the war to end now so his pops can take undue credit for “peace” and his buddy Putin can restock his war machine and continue the war in 2 years refreshed and restocked.

If Behn can win the turnout game she has a real shot.
November 26, 2025 at 4:45 PM
It can be done! GOP’s losing the only issue they’ve always had advantage on: economy. They’ve taken their 2nd issue off table, border, solving it, so GOP base feeling happy. Happy = less enthusiastic about voting.

Dems have path. Imo, they need to stick to affordability and defending Constitution.
November 26, 2025 at 4:43 PM
Dems have inherent enthusiasm gap in their favor. Off year election = lower turnout, higher info voters.

Dems already outperformed GOP with these voters in ‘24 & w/ ‘26 context of less turnout, unfavorable sentiment on economy, GOP voter complacency, hispanic underperformance.

The path exists.
November 26, 2025 at 4:37 PM
Longshots in an off year, where GOP has a trifecta, and the mirage of Trump making inroads with Hispanic voters having been exposed?

Idk, I think that makes all of those states very competitive.

In addition, Paxton was facing a federal grand jury over whistleblower protection act & his CoS, Aaron Reitz, formerly of Senator Cruz, testified Paxton didn’t fire three staff who went public about Paxton’s corruption as retaliation, rather performance. He’s now running to replace Paxton as AG.
