Final result in OK is 64-36 GOP win *BUT* this was a Trump+58 seat, so that's a 29-point overperformance for Dems. Also two smaller overperformances in deep-blue VA districts—but it's usually hard to run up the score in a lopsided district.

Yet another example of an out-of-control President sacrificing the American economy and blocking good infrastructure.

It's also a test for Michigan Republicans: will they stand up for what's right, even when it means breaking with Trump?

Trump shows up over a million times in the unredacted Epstein files. And that's the half they released. Imagine what's in the half they didn't release.

That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...
Trump is in the unredacted Epstein files "more than a million times," Raskin alleges
One document recounts that Trump said he "never" asked Epstein to leave Mar-a-Lago.

The whole Vance "America is not an idea" thing is a pretty explicit repudiation of American exceptionalism. The only thing they find exceptional about America is they happen to be born there. Otherwise, it's the same blood/soil nationalism that has plagued the world for centuries. (3/3)

It proves that America is just as susceptible to "presidential republic disease" as the countries which styled themselves after our system. Probably not feasible, but to maintain true democracy longer term, we need to get as close to a parliamentary system as possible. (2/3)

Thought for the day: Does Trumpism mark the end of American exceptionalism?

Seems like it does to me for two reasons: (1/3)

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people.

The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.
