WATCH: In an epic moment, Jessica Tarlov blasts Trump for promoting Stephen Miller: "It boggles my mind that Republicans would look at the outcome from Tuesday night and think, you know who needs a bigger job? Stephen Miller.โ€

Unbelievableโ€ฆ
Trump continues to crash out and dig himself into an even deeper hole. He now says heโ€™s offered the White House press secretary job to UFCโ€™s Dana White and wants him to bring MMA fighters into the press office, "even though some are not from our Country."

Hi Texas Panderer! Iโ€™ve lived in Iowa most of my life. I live in a red neighborhood in NW Iowa. Within one mile there were 10 Sand signs to 1 Lahn. I walked by them daily. I value decency, science, public schools, and accountability from our leaders. A Patriotic Iowan
Can anyone please explain how every county in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas went blue? Really? I don't believe it. There's no freaking way that Farmers and Ranchers voted blue. No chance.

JVL tells @SarahLongwell25 why restoring the rule of law requires real consequences for Trump officials who broke it: โ€œWe have been in a lawless state at the federal level for the last 2 years. And that is intolerable, and a free society cannot abide it.โ€

Jessica: It boggles my mind that Republicans would look at the outcome from Tuesday night and think, you know who needs a bigger job? Stephen Miller. Texas is blue. Ted Cruz is sitting there by himself wondering if anyone will ever sit at a lunch table with him again. If you want to win elections again, I think this is one of the dumbest things you could do

I donโ€™t care what they do. Neither holds any appeal. They revealed their true colors. teapaw.org/kginiowatake2/status/2โ€ฆ
Looking at you @MarcoRubio and Iโ€™d still like to take back my campaign donation to you in 2015. Iโ€™ll admit you fooled me once. You have made your choice to get in bed with Trump and betray our allies. I wonโ€™t forget it when the day comes that you try to deny selling your soul.

Q: Iโ€™m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken at all? Governor-elect @AmyActonOH: We canโ€™t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leadersโ€™ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.

Dear @WhiteHouse: trumpโ€™s name will never be on the Kennedy Center or the Reflecting Pool. The trump arch will not be built. And in two years, Congress and the next Administration will erase trumpโ€™s name and stench from everything he has touched. Ozymandias
Veteran on President Trump's proposed arch: "We reject the vanity, the worship of a single man, over the 400,000 that have earned the right to be remembered; that have earned the right to keep an eye over our nation as they look towards the Lincoln Memorial."

No one, and I mean no one, should be building a monument for themselves at Arlington, because there is no place in America less suited to a show of one man's ego. Those buried at Arlington didn't give their lives so one small man could build a gaudy monument to himself at their gates. They gave their lives in the name of something so much bigger: a democracy, a nation, worth protecting even at the absolute greatest of personal costs. It's an abhorrent desecration of our most hallowed ground, and it must be stopped.

Maybe those who scoffed at NT should have seen it all along.
Gotta start by acknowledging that Trump was and is the problem. Quietly whispering it wonโ€™t do it. We need to pick up the pieces of the conservative movement, and fight for a renewed Republican Party with principles that stands for something besides Trump. He has destroyed the party and he lost this election (helped by the 95% of obedient Rโ€™s).

Are Trump & Hegseth really ordering more strikes against Iran after the midterms clearly sent an anti-war message?? Dammit @ChuckGrassley & @SenJoniErnst you had the power to stop that maniac in 2019 & again in 2021, & you betrayed your oaths of office. And now? You do nothing.

One of the best blue tsunami summaries Iโ€™ve seen yet. Itโ€™s one Iโ€™d love to make the rounds on FB. ๐Ÿ‘‡
Republicans will spend time and treasure, likely years and millions of dollars, for consultants and experts and pundits to find out what went wrong and how this happened. Save your money and donโ€™t waste your time. The answer came 10 years ago by a Senator from South Carolina who didnโ€™t live to see his prophetic words come to pass. โ€œIf we nominate Donald Trump we will get destroyedโ€ฆand we will deserve it.โ€ Republicans blew up their party, their values, their dignity and decency for a man who wasnโ€™t even a Republican. Unilateral tariffs on our allies by executive orders isnโ€™t conservative. Siding with Vladimir Putinโ€™s murderous war in Ukraine isnโ€™t conservative. Accepting a bribe from a foreign country in the form of an airplane that costs hundreds of millions of dollars isnโ€™t conservative. Turning untrained thugs in masks loose in our communities to murder American citizens in cold blood isnโ€™t conservative. Threatening to invade and conquer a sovereign country, an ally, isnโ€™t conservative. Pardoning people who assaulted law enforcement officers isnโ€™t conservative. The list is too long and too exhausting to contemplate. Republican law makers lit themselves on fire for a thrice married, sociopathic, mentally unstable reality tv personality who bragged about acing a test to check for dementia and spoke about the asses of male candidates for the US Senate. There was a time when I believed we should welcome any of them who finally spoke up back into polite society. But that ship has sailed. These people should live in shame for the rest of their days, shunned and repudiated in history books, never to hold a position that requires the public trust ever again.

Yes! This!
The strongest people value kindness, compassion, honesty, integrity and love their neighbors as themselves. America became stronger this week.
