With high gas prices caused by an unnecessary war in the Middle East and a floundering economy, the GOP seems to realize they aren’t going to win the midterm elections on policy issues. Instead, they’re pivoting to the most distasteful plan B possible.
A new ad released Tuesday by the dark money organization Citizens for Sanity depicts the Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico wearing a…
The 2024 DNC autopsy reveals a party unable to process its past, or suggest a future.
The post Can Democrats Learn From the 2024 Loss? appeared first on The American Prospect.
A great riddle of the 2024 election is how Donald Trump managed to double (to 14 points) his advantage among working class voters, defined as those lacking a college degree, compared to 2016. This is a mystery because Trump spent much of his first term undermining labor rights. The main (though by no means only) vehicle for doing so was the Trump-appointed majority on the National Labor Relations…
Former first lady Jill Biden claimed that she thought her husband, former President Joe Biden, was having a stroke while watching his disastrous 2024 debate performance against President Trump that prompted him to drop out of the presidential race, insisting she had “never ever seen Joe like that before or since.”

After months of mounting pressure, the Democratic National Committee released a draft of its 2024 election autopsy report, which fails to incorporate information from interviews with Biden or Harris and doesn’t use the words “Israel” or “Gaza.” What do you think?
The post Democrats Release 2024 Election Autopsy appeared first on The Onion.
If you’ve read anything about the Democrats’ “autopsy” of its 2024 election loss, which was released Thursday after being suppressed for months, it probably highlighted what the report doesn’t include: any mention of Gaza, the Biden administration’s refusal to curb Israel’s genocidal war, or Kamala Harris’s mealy-mouthed efforts to triangulate a position after becoming the nominee in July. “There…
I started reading the Democratic
autopsy of their 2024 loss that was belatedly released Thursday, but I stopped on page eight, when I got to this sentence: “In 1989, after losing three straight presidential campaigns, our party refocused the conversation around policy and purpose to reclaim the vital center of American discourse.” The second I saw that indefensible sentence, I clicked away.
Why?…
For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert entertained Americans as CBS’s _Late Show_ host, leading more than 1,800 episodes. On Thursday, he hosted his last one, a decision that CBS executives chalked up to financial reasons.
But the longtime comedian did not go out quietly. Instead, Colbert capped his exit with an eyebrow-raising copyright joke by ramping up the tunes—licensed tunes, to be…
The Democratic National Committee’s autopsy of the 2024 presidential election has finally reached the public—and it leaves a lot to be desired.
CNN published the report Thursday after months of the DNC refusing to release it, with chair Ken Martin saying it would be a “distraction” back in December. On Wednesday, Martin repeated that assessment, and added that, “When I received the report late…

Thousands of Maryland residents will be receiving new mail-in ballots due to a vendor error. Yet Donald Trump has interpreted the state’s attempt to correct the switch-up as some kind of fraud.
“In Maryland, they sent out 500,000 Illegal Mail In Ballots, and they got caught!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday afternoon. “So now, they’re going to send out 500,000 more Mail In Ballots, but nobody…
Special elections have gone sharply against Donald Trump’s successes in the 2024 election. This November, the GOP’s bid to pick up four Democratic seats could similarly fall flat.

Young voters across the country overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election. But less than two years into his term, the MAGA leader has completely lost them.
An NBC News Decision Desk poll published Friday reveals a stark reversal in Gen Z’s opinion of the president, indicating that just 24 percent approve of Trump’s performance, while 76 percent disapprove.
The nosedive is in no…

Dozens of people who participated in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, have filed a federal class action in Florida against the U.S. Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan Police, alleging actions by officers that day caused them physical and emotional injuries. Three Florida residents filed the lawsuit in the Ocala division […]
If you want to understand how Donald Trump is managing the Iran war, a glimpse at the president’s recent public statements tells you all you need to know. On Thursday alone, he boasted that the United States and Israel are “totally destroying” Iran, ominously warned the country’s soccer team to stay away from the U.S.-co-hosted 2026 World Cup “for their own life and safety,” and posted a…
Congratulations are in order for Donald Trump: His attack on Iran is the most unpopular American war in modern history. _The New York Times_ compared support for Trump’s war with initial support for nine other wars going back to World War II, and found Trump’s adventure at the very bottom. The _Times_ has support for it at 41 percent. Other calculations find support in the high 30s.
This is…
Mark Farrell's 2024 run for mayor involved serious "instances of noncompliance" with San Francisco and California campaign finance laws, the city audit found.

As some see it, the Texas Republican primary for U.S. Senate is a battle for the future of the party: Longtime incumbent John Cornyn represents the conservative establishment, while Attorney General Ken Paxton is a rising MAGA firebrand. After Tuesday’s election, that battle will continue, as neither candidate broke 50 percent, and therefore they will face each other in a runoff in May. While…
President Donald Trump’s illegal war in Iran is so unpopular, his own former spokesperson is calling him out.
During an appearance on Fox News Monday night, Caroline Sunshine pointed to a statement from Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine, who said that the United States could “expect to take additional losses” as it engaged in ongoing “major combat operations” in Iran.
“I voted for…

The 2028 presidential election could see a painfully familiar face return to the campaign trail.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris told podcaster Sharon McMahon on Tuesday that she has not yet ruled out the possibility of yet another presidential campaign.
“Will you run again?” asked McMahon, plainly.
“I haven’t decided,” Harris said.
“You’re still thinking about it?” McMahon pressed.
“I…
The Democratic National Committee’s secret report on why Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election has reportedly found that the Biden administration’s approach to Israel’s massacre in Gaza cost her key votes.
DNC personnel who worked on the report met with the pro-Palestinian IMEU Policy Project in a closed-door meeting, Axios reports, and the group told them that Biden’s and Harris’s support for…
If Donald Trump’s administration really wants to find evidence of foreign interference in Georgia’s elections, then they need look no further than the president’s old friend Elon Musk and his shady super PAC.
Members of the Georgia State Elections Board voted Thursday to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Musk’s America PAC over the billionaire technocrat’s illegal scheme to get Trump…
The president’s total 180 on TikTok was, in no small part, due to the machinations of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
Donald Trump had opposed the social media behemoth for years. Long before Democrats hopped on board with the idea, Trump challenged the app’s presence in the United States based on flimsy national security concerns, attempting to instate a total ban on the video sharing…
