I don't think the modest electoral penalty suffered by progressive candidates is that big of a deal, but the inability of progressive politicians and media figures to confront factual information has troubling implications for their ability to make good policy.

So now the “anyone but Schumer” crowd is backing Chris Van Hollen for Senate majority leader, who
 says he doesn’t even want the job. Same shit, different midterm. Just a bunch of clowns on social media trying to make themselves look superior to the Democratic Party.

So what are the chances someone suggested this Dana White and Trump pulled a Four Seasons Total Landscaping?
Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States. I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris. We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

For anyone who thinks we need an activist in a leadership position, watch this video.

So was Nancy Pelosi. These positions are avatars for everyone’s grievances within the party. Republicans hated McConnell, now they hate Thune. Normies wanting them replaced makes sense because they don’t understand the role. People whose job is political analysis are embarrassing themselves by leaning into the populist slop because they want an audience.
Chuck Schumer is legitimately one of the least popular politicians in the country right next to Trump himself. The American people voted for change and that's exactly what we should deliver. To keep the exact same leaders would be to spit in their faces. Schumer has been Senate Majority Leader before, he is extremely experienced, but there is the practical reality of perception and what voters expect from us. Jeffries is going to be the Speaker and I hope he represents us well, but Schumer already has a handful of Democratic Senators, like Elissa Slotkin and Adam Hamilton, questioning his viability.

Congressional Democrats scored their greatest electoral triumph in over 50 years on Tuesday. Here’s why the only logical next step is for all of their leaders to step down.

The misogyny from certain corners of the pundit class will get far worse when the 2028 primaries commence. Having been through several cycles of this I can tell you the best way to deal with these people is not to waste time addressing their bad faith talking points. Just tell them you support the women they’re criticizing and why. And don’t be afraid of them or their trolls criticizing you back. This is social media, not real life. They have no power over you.
The viciousness with which operatives like Katz or "journalists" like Mehdi Hasan and Wajahat Ali or pundits like Sam Seder and the PodBros treat Neera Tanden is weird and unconscionable.

Why don’t any mainstream liberal pundits speak out against the leftists that are destroying the progress they’ve made

We’re renting the Latino vote. Not owning it. They want a fair shot and to not be profiled for who they are. They want a chance at the American dream. Our job is to make it real. If we don’t deliver, we lose them again. @CAPAction

NEW: The US government believes Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang had a romantic relationship with a Chinese woman whom the US intelligence community believes was recruited to spy for China’s Ministry of State Security, the country’s main intelligence agency. Chinese intelligence could exploit a relationship with Huang to obtain sensitive information about Nvidia’s most advanced technology which could help China accelerate its military and intelligence capabilities while undermining the technological advantage the United States is trying to protect.

Nobody on the online right yet understands that when people poll as tilting more red on immigration, what they overwhelmingly want is a version of border control and deportations that is professional, efficient, and clean. Not endless cruelty theater and Miller antics.

Three minutes after Pete Hegseth tweeted "Patriots in control" (a foundational QAnon slogan), Putin ally/Kremlin propagandist Kirill Dmitriev tweeted "WWG1WGA" (another foundational QAnon slogan). They know what they're doing. This has activated the QAnon crowd to a degree that I haven't seen in a long time.

It is absolutely wild that days after massive Black turnout propelled Democrats to a huge victory in the House, mostly white leftists are publicly demanding that Democrats reject the first Black Speaker of the House. If you wanted a better example of the out-of-touch-ness of the left I’m not sure you could make one up that matches this.

It’s Talarico, and also who does he think he is his ego is actually insane
JUST IN: Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed calls himself the "main character" of the 2026 midterm elections.

"they noticed you're scaring the hoes" is perhaps the best 2026 midterms take yet
Young men don’t want your Nazi bullshit because they have gay and trans friends, their favorite coworker is a 50 year old Mexican guy, and they noticed that you’re scaring the hoes

I had no idea how profitable the misinformation machine is, and this is from the Intercept in 2024. No wonder Ryan Grim, Ken Klippenstein etc. are so fervent with their mendacity. projects.propublica.org/nonp

They forced Biden to step down because of “VIBES” and now they’re trying to force Jeffries & Schumer to do the same. ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE! The architects of our historic wins who know how to move the levers of power should be exactly where they are.

While the @DemSocialists were attacking mainstream Democrats, @RepJeffries was lining up candidates in red-to-bluedistricts that included ministers, combat veterans, farmers, prosecutors, and other centrists from blue-collar backgrounds. nymag.com/intelligencer/arti
