The Republicans were turned into a trophy, Predator-style, last night. It was a historic drubbing. On all fronts — the GOP lost. There hasn’t been a beatdown like this in 60-plus years, but surrender isn’t an option. We need to regroup and fight back, because the Democrats’ current majority will take years and multiple cycles to chip away.In the meantime, we must brace for what Democrats have long lusted after with power: the impeachment of Trump officials. Based on these statements and social media posts, it sounds like Democrats have been compiling lists for years. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), who...

We got our teeth kicked in. I was wrong about my 2026 predictions — maybe a bit too lofty — but I didn’t expect the entire Trump coalition to fall apart before my eyes. You’ve heard this morning how bad things were, and they were. So, what’s next? Do we commit seppuku? Stop voting? Or cry? Those aren’t options. Our own Larry O’Connor tracked the live results on his show for over five hours, and frankly, he saw what was coming, and it didn’t faze him. We can’t win every election. We’re not an authoritarian society. There will be many times...

Sure, President Trump said he’s open to doing deals with the incoming Democrat majority in the House and Senate. The 2026 midterms were brutal, but Trump is defiant and does have a very important card in his pocket: veto power. It’s going to be tough to watch. For starters, rest assured Democrats will nuke the legislative filibuster and pass whatever they want. It’s what we tried to tell weak sauce John Thune, who now will never pass the Save America Act, a top Trump action item, and let institutional deference and panican GOP members fence-sit until they got wiped out....

The Republican Party got flayed Tuesday night. Losing control of the House seemed likely given the slim majority, but a landslide of this magnitude — no. Democrats have a House majority that’s so steep it’ll take years for the GOP to chip away. At the state level, this majority will get a backbone as gerrymandering tactics will likely be employed to protect it. It’s a climb, folks. And that’s not even the worst of it: Mississippi’s Senate race could go Democrat. Even if Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith survives, it’ll be by the slimmest of margins. This race boils down to provisional ballots,...

Texas was the Democrats’ unicorn. Well, they captured it and then some on Tuesday. The GOP coalition imploded, leading to an epic drubbing nationwide. Republicans lost control of the House and Senate. The Democrats’ House majority will be 250-plus, potentially. It’ll take years to recover. That ripple led to a historic event in Texas: the Democrat Party’s complete takeover. Not a single Republican won statewide. James Talarico won the U.S. Senate race. Gina Hinojosa, who wasn’t even on anyone’s radar, beat Gov. Greg Abbott, and not by a little. It was a decisive win. Every single statewide office on the...

Barack Obama won Iowa twice during his presidency. It’s a state Trump has won every time until now. Was it the tariffs? We need to reexamine everything because last night was an epic a**-kicking. Probably not one seen in 60+ years. And it leached into Iowa, where, if it was tariffs, like Indiana and North Carolina, who ran out of patience with Bush and protecting manufacturing, they opted to vote Democrat.

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA — Iowa Republican Senate candidate Ashley Hinson came up short against Democrat Josh Turek in Tuesday’s midterm election in one of several Democrat upsets this cycle.“While tonight’s outcome was not the one that we wanted, I am so deeply proud of our campaign’s fight, and I am just eternally grateful to everyone who helped make that happen,” Hinson told supporters after Tuesday’s loss.Decision Desk HQ called the race just after 11 PM ET, putting Iowa among the ranks of Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas of states that flipped from red to blue.Turek has served in the Iowa...

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) had an amazing career serving the people of Maine. And now it’s over. Collins survived a strong challenge from Democrat Sara Gideon, who was supposed to beat her by nine points. Collins beat her by at least seven points. It showcased Ms. Collins's durability, and she was exceptional at securing funds for her state. That’s why Mainers kept sending her back to D.C. It seems odd that Democrat Troy Jackson, who I don’t even think wants to be a U.S. senator, beat her. It caps off this miserable night for the GOP, where not even the...
