Smash that 💙 if you’ve been against Trump since the day he rode down the Trump Tower escalator in June 2015.

NEW: Democrats are preparing to make Trump’s trade war with Canada their first target when they take control of the Senate in January, the WSJ reports. Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, says there is “overwhelming support” for repealing the tariffs and that he’s already discussing legislation with colleagues.

We forged a new kind of politics here in the Lone Star State. An answer to this decade of division. Now the real work begins.

For the past two years, I told everyone who would listen that I would not talk about the current occupant of the White House and would only focus on enablers. I had long conversations with @AliVelshi and others in media about this. While media was slow to do this, America caught on and Tuesday they fired the enablers. Simply put, MAGA IS OVER!!! What does that mean? America wants to move on from the extreme positions and get back to solving real problems. America wants to move on from hateful rhetoric and get back to decency and meaningful conversations. Americans again want America to be the most powerful and trusted nation. There is so much more that one can say about what happened, however, I feel good for America today. My friend @WalshFreedom and I have spent the past 3 years doing our Two Dads Defending Democracy tour. As part of our tour, we focused on the need to get back to talking to one another. I always said during our conversations that "voting solves problems and everyone needs to vote." This Tuesday, because Americans in record numbers turned out to vote, America is in a better place.

Sickening!
Q: Putin right now kills Ukrainian civilians in their apartments, in their buses, in their schools. Did you bring that up?  Trump: I always bring it up and I also bring it up the other way because, the other way, they kill too. Both sides.

On the campaign trail, I made a promise to South Carolinians: Lowering costs would be my top priority. Today, I made my first stop as Senator-elect back on Shem Creek, where I first called on Washington to “lower the damn diesel.” I came back to make clear that my commitment hasn’t changed. I’ll work with anyone, regardless of party, to bring down costs for South Carolina families. That’s also why I called Senator Tim Scott today. I’m ready to put politics aside, find common ground, and get to work delivering results for the people of South Carolina.

Sen. Ted Cruz: "Texas is blue. That is a hard sentence to utter. But Texas, today at least, is blue...We will bring Texas back. I am filled with hope and optimism. Texas will be red again. We have not suddenly become a bunch of tofu-eating, gun-banning, tutu-wearing pinko commie liberals. That ain’t us. Texas is still Texas."

Donald Trump asked the American people to vote like he was on the ballot — we did, and his enablers lost everywhere.

South Carolina, you have shown the nation — in an era of partisan divides, of vitriol and namecalling, in a politics dominated by billionaires, special interests, and insiders in Washington — that we will not bow down. We will not back down. And we will chart our own course.

Ken Paxton is a crook who was impeached by Texas Republicans over allegations of bribery, corruption, abuse of office, and retaliation against whistleblowers. He’ll be nothing more than Trump’s puppet in the Senate. Paxton has no business being in the U.S. Senate.
BREAKING: James Talarico now 70% to become Texas's first elected Democratic U.S. senator in 38 years. Final polls close in just over 8 hours.

BREAKING: The U.S. struck Iran’s Qeshm Island, according to U.S. officials. According to The Wall Street Journal, the strike is part of a series of limited, largely undisclosed U.S. attacks on Iran in recent weeks, which Washington describes as defensive measures aimed at preventing Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier today, Trump told Axios in a phone interview that he’s “in no rush” to decide whether to resume military action against Iran. “One way or the other, we will do something, but there is no rush. We crippled them financially. They have no money, no gasoline and their people are getting very tired of it,” Trump said.

As a mother and grandmother, it sickens me to think of children arriving at school to find their buses defaced with swastikas and hateful antisemitic messages. No Jewish child or family should have to endure this kind of fear and intimidation. Those responsible must be identified, arrested, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Earlier today, the DSA's National Political Committee narrowly voted 14–13 against rescinding its endorsement of Nithya Raman in the L.A. mayoral race, following an internal dispute over her stance on Israel
Between Karen Bass and her far-left, DSA-backed opponent, Nithya Raman, Bass is clearly the only choice
