In Texas, approximately 625k previous Republican Primary voters stayed at home this year. I guess someone rigged the election by handcuffing all of those people to keep them from voting.

Democratic gains don’t mean unchecked control. North Carolina, Georgia and Texas are headed for divided government, with Republicans retaining their state Senates. In Ohio and Iowa, Democrats won the governorships, but the GOP kept both legislative chambers. New Hampshire is the reverse: a Republican governor and Democratic legislature. No Democratic trifectas in these six states. Republicans retain a seat at the table on budgets, taxes and legislation. Results remain unofficial. #Election2026 #StatePolitics #DividedGovernment

Congrats to Rep. Pete Aguilar on his #CA33 reelection! A Redlands hometown boy who served on the City Council and as mayor, Pete could become House Majority Whip, the No. 3 leadership post, as Democrats take the majority. #Redlands #SanBernardinoCounty

🚨 JUST IN: CNN is facing major blowback for giving airtime to Scott Galloway after he insinuated ELON MUSK should be EXECUTED for being a "traitor to the west" Anderson Cooper just acts like it never happened 😠 PROTECT ELON AT ALL COSTS 🙏🏻 Galloway said: "We lined up the Rosenbergs against a wall. This is a traitor to the West, and he should be held to the same standards as every other traitor in the West." He doubled down on Election Day: "We took the Rosenbergs and put them up against a wall and executed them for being traitors. And I realize this is an incendiary statement, but I'll make it, and I believe it." Any conservative who said this about a Democrat would be banned from every network for life!

Gina Hinajosa wants to repeal constitutional carry in Texas. Second Amendment rights are under attack by Democrats in Texas, and it hasn’t even been a week since the election.

Beshear would lose in a spectacular fashion if he runs for KY senate in 2028 (like how Bullock lost the MT senate race in 2020). Democrats only won in red states this year because it was a D+14 environment/republican midterm. 2028 will be a presidential year so it won't be the same environment.

BREAKING: Google’s parent Alphabet added another 3.85 million shares of SpaceX in Q3, its latest SEC filing shows. Alphabet held 555 million shares worth $83.7 billion as of Sept. 30. SpaceX alone made up nearly 95% of its reported stock portfolio. Google first put $900 million into SpaceX in January 2015. By the end of Q3, the stake was worth about 93 times Google’s original investment.
