With the Democrats handily winning a huge majority in the House and capturing the Senate, the electorate sent a clear message: It’s had enough of Trump. motherjones.com/politics/202…

New: More than three hours after polls closed, Speaker Mike Johnson has not been out to address hundreds of supporters of his in Shreveport. Republicans are facing a nightmare situation as party members lose seats they didn’t even know were in play.
“This is a massacre,” one senior GOP member said. “I would hate to be a member of current leadership.”
Reporters staked out of a room he was in were asked to go back to the main ballroom

Republicans spent two years bowing to Trump. Tonight, patriotic Americans made them pay for it.
Democrats have taken the House of Representatives.

"Trump’s closing argument came down to an extended justification for how he had, however belatedly, finally won—not the war in the Middle East but the fight against algae in the Reflecting Pool that had defeated so many of his predecessors," writes @sbg1 newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…

BREAKING: DOJ's unfounded lawsuit in Alaska DISMISSED. Like in LA, a federal judge has thrown out the garbage.
Kudos to ELG, ACLU, LWV, Common Cause & everybody else who opposed this stupidity. DOJ lacked any standing to file & the court recognized that.

Trump’s administration is incoherent, but if you follow the paths of personal enrichment and good for Russia, you’ll be right almost every time.
So, Russia is working with the Houthis to target Saudi oil infrastructure and drive up world oil prices to help the Russian economy. And Trump is not helping the Saudis defend while also threatening to escalate his war--which also increases price of oil.
It all helps Russia--funny that.

UK goes big as U.S recedes into the darkness of the Russian world.
Britain has announced its largest-ever financial support package for Ukraine – £10 billion ($13.3 billion) in additional economic and military assistance.
Announced today by Chancellor John Healey, the package includes:
- £7 billion in economic support over three years, including World Bank guarantees and grants.
- £3 billion in additional UK export finance capacity, prioritizing military support.
- £500 million in urgent military funding to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses this winter.
The announcement brings Britain's total commitments to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion to £35 billion ($46.5 billion).
Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Chancellor Healey informed President Zelensky ahead of the announcement. Zelensky responded: "You've made my day."
