Trump 2024: Smaller margin than Carter ‘76. Only the mendacious claimed a mandate. Only the gullible called it a landslide.

Funny. It seems that a lot of American voters just got in their metaphorical fighter jets and dumped a lot of brown liquid on Trumpism.

Re Cuomo: the only thing I like seeing more than a nepo baby loss is seeing the loss of a sore loser who ran in a primary, lost, and disrespected those voters by running anyway. No means no, Andrew.

One lesson to take from tonight. Moderates can win. And, those on the left can win. Both can win big. A healthy party runs all kinds of candidates and doesn’t listen to pundits who tell it to have one strategy and only one candidate type. It will take all kinds to win the majorities America needs.

MAGA is picking Pennsylvanians’ pockets but at least Trump is redecorating his bathroom and building a ballroom. MAGA can’t govern; Trumpism is a failure.
BREAKING: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro released $5 million in state funding for food pantries as a SNAP freeze looms on Saturday. The declaration expedites the delivery of those funds.
Shapiro signs a disaster declaration in Pa. as SNAP benefits careen toward freeze
In Pennsylvania, SNAP provides more than $366 million in benefits to about two million families, including 713,000 children.

You love me. You hate me. I'm the Ross & Rachel of Capitol Hill.
The Senate filibuster is adored when parties are in the minority and despised when parties are in the majority. If the filibuster could talk, it wants you to think long and hard before reforming it.

Zombie CNN trying to help Trump downplay the fact that he broke the White House
My two takeaways on this:
1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.
2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

Scholars take note and beware when using Reagan materials that this incident indicates the Foundation’s integrity and current commitment to the truth. Trust? Not anymore. Be skeptical and verify.
The Reagan Foundation's entire purpose is to preserve Reagan's legacy and share his principles, but now they're backing up the current president who insists that "Ronald Reagan loved tariffs."
Great job defending Reagan's legacy and principles, guys.
Hey, was he a big fan of Russia too?
