Mike Johnson on the tariffs case before SCOTUS: "I'm cheering for the president that the executive will win on this. Now, I say that as a jealous guardian of the legislative branch of government, Article 1."
Gutfeld: Democrats sweep blue states, how is that a surprise? They are blue states.
Jessica: Virginia literally has a Republican governor

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

There’s some truth here. Times like this are when big, foundational changes are actually possible. Something has to be rebuilt after it’s destroyed. Universal health care? UBI? Term limits? Go big or go home, Dems.
See this is why Dinesh D’Souza took the time to explain to his allies that he is, and I quote, “one of the good ones”
![Screenshot of tweet from Dinesh D’Souza on Christmas 2024. Text reads “There are good and bad Indians. I’m obviously one of the good ones. I suspect this Sriram [Krishnan] guy is too. On the other hand, these two Indians pictured below were an intrinsic part of the censorship regime on social media. I wish we could deport them!” (Pictured are former Twitter execs Vijaya Gadde and Parag Agrawal.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sqrfvc3whmkz5btcmapky63d/bafkreibcqeamvru2duuptzkbeas34y6gedcy6k5abluf6iot7qh2nnnvv4@jpeg)
So, we’re trading obesity for reliance on another drug. I really don’t see a great benefit here, especially when the FDA has been stripped down and drugs like these are rushed out (and prices continue to go up, and, and, and…)
It’s not a solution. It’s a dirty bandaid on an open wound.
