Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who is 93 years old, has just filed his paperwork to seek reelection in 2028. Grassley was first elected into office when election results were still being delivered by carrier pigeons. We fucking need term limits.

The father of the 20-year-old co-pilot who died along with eight others when their Learjet crashed in Florida said Friday he has listened to his daughter’s final radio transmissions “many times” since the crash. Allan Filgueiras, himself a pilot, was searching for answers as to why the plane plunged from the sky on Sunday — but what he found was pride in how his daughter, Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, handled the crisis.

Dear @WhiteHouse: Stop attacking democracy. You disrespect the American people by saying they voted in a crooked election. If you have evidence of alleged voter fraud, then have your puppet @AGToddBlanche try to prosecute. Otherwise take your authoritarian shit and shove it.

🚨THIS IS WHERE WE START WITH ACCOUNTABILITY: This man called out the crimes one by one. Amazing work!

Abdul El-Sayed was so much fucking better than Mike Rogers it's ridiculous. I am honestly blown away by the quality of Dem candidates for these midterms.

AIPAC JUST REMINDED SCHUMER AND JEFFRIES WHO IS RUNNING THE SHOW

What do you do AFTER you win the midterms?

For nearly two years, the American people watched as Congress surrendered its constitutional authority to Donald Trump, abandoning its responsibility to serve as a check on executive power. We watched ICE agents descend on American neighborhoods, terrorizing families, separating loved ones, and conducting operations that raised grave questions about constitutional rights and deadly uses of force. We watched a president and those closest to him blur the lines between public service, personal enrichment, and political power. We watched American farmers struggle under the weight of tariffs, retaliatory trade policies, rising costs, and disappearing markets. We watched our closest allies alienated, decades of diplomatic relationships damaged, and America’s credibility on the world stage eroded. We watched federal agencies gutted, career public servants pushed out, and scientific expertise dismissed. We watched the Department of Justice face political pressure while the independence of our institutions came under attack. We watched billionaires gain extraordinary influence while working families struggled to afford groceries, housing, healthcare, and childcare. We watched immigrants demonized, transgender Americans targeted, protesters vilified, and vulnerable communities turned into political punching bags. We watched attacks on voting rights, threats against political opponents, assaults on the free press, and efforts to undermine the very institutions designed to protect our democracy. We watched the normalization of corruption, cruelty, dishonesty, and contempt for the rule of law. And perhaps most disturbing of all, we watched members of Congress who swore an oath to defend the Constitution remain silent, make excuses, or actively enable the erosion of their own institution’s authority. But the American people were watching. We were listening. We were remembering. And now, we are demanding accountability. Not revenge. Not political retaliation. Not another round of empty speeches and promises. Accountability under the law. Accountability for abuses of power. Accountability for the damage inflicted on our country. Because elections are not simply about changing who occupies the seats of power. They are about changing what those in power are permitted to get away with. The American people did not fight to reclaim their government just to watch a new Congress protect the people who abused it. We did our part at the ballot box. Now Congress must do its part under the Constitution.

I read JD Vance's post on this site yesterday and at first I was shocked. The Vice President all but admitted that his own administration made a mistake going to war with Iran. I can't think of a sitting VP breaking with his President this publicly in my lifetime. And at first glance his analysis seems spot on. His first prescription is to end the war. A war that he and the President, until this week, refused to even call a war. It's hard to disagree with him. But like everything MAGA, the thread of truth is there to hide the larger truth. And the larger truth is this. Tuesday was the greatest repudiation of a sitting President by voters in the history of this country. Not a repudiation of a policy. A repudiation of a man. The message was not only about Iran or Israel or slogans or even the price at the pump. The message was simple. WE ARE DONE WITH DONALD TRUMP. We are done with his lies. We are done with the corruption and the gaslighting. We are done with the insanity. We are done with the cruelty. The message from Mississippi to Iowa, from Kansas to Maine, from North Carolina to Texas, young and old, North and South, East and West, was the same. Fuck Donald Trump. This country desperately needs a healthy Republican Party. A party with room for Mitt Romney and Thomas Massie, for Chris Christie and (I can't believe I'm saying this) Marjorie Taylor Greene. A party that puts this constitutional republic above the interests of one man. A party that knows the difference between a Ken Paxton and a John Cornyn, between a Vivek Ramaswamy and a Mike DeWine. That is the message voters sent on Tuesday, with more ballots cast than in any midterm in American history. WE ARE DONE WITH DONALD TRUMP. The sooner the brave members of whatever remains of the Republican Party understand that, the sooner we can begin to heal. I hope Democrats in Congress heard it too. Voters sent the same message in 2020, and we failed to make it stick. I for one don't think this country can afford 26 more months of this madness before we do the one thing voters just demanded in historic numbers. Trump needs to leave, and he needs to leave now. All it would take this January is eleven Republican senators willing to acknowledge the existential threat this lawless President poses to the country and the world. Eleven brave Republicans need to stand up and end this madness. Save their party. Save the country. It's up to all of us to give them the courage to do what's right.
