“Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” —Kamala Harris, 2024 After the historic 2026 midterms, those words feel prophetic. Millions turned hope into votes and lit up the sky like a billion brilliant stars. Now we must transform that hope into progress. 🇺🇸 Thank you, Vice President Kamala Harris, for those words at a time when we barely understood how dark it would become. I can see the sun rising slowly now, and I hope that in 2028 we will fully see it.

Oversight is going to go big under the new Democratic House when Jan comes around. Democrats unlike Republicans can create legislation to help people while also investigating the corruption of the Trump administration.
Democrats are preparing investigations into major U.S. companies, with Apple, Meta and businesses linked to Elon Musk among the early targets, following the party’s victories in both chambers of Congress, according to the Washington Post House Democrats are examining Trump’s use of Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot to help plan the operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The Washington Post says that Apple could face scrutiny over its hosting of tracking apps used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while Meta is being targeted over NDAs imposed on local governments during data centre development Corporate executives and lawyers are preparing for congressional investigations, with law firms holding emergency meetings and offering advice to companies with close ties to the Trump administration.

Why is DC being secured like a fortress? Unacceptable behavior from this administration.

Are you seriously not aware that Trump orchestrated a stinging operation to catch a democrat cheating in yesterday's election? You guys fell right into his trap 😂 this is even better for Maga than if we had just won a landslide. The democrat election result numbers are literally statistically impossible. It proves fraud right on its face. The election results will be overturned. You guys lose again, great job 👏

It looks like Texas Senate Republicans are developing plans to cripple the ability of the New Democratic Governor in Texas to effectively legislate the state. They are such sore losers that they are trying to do a power grab.
🚨 I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in! Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in. We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat. I’ve warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers! Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable. Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR. Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws – including criminal laws – on a whim! Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership. The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that “Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch.” My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions: 1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes 2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order 3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected 4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored 5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule. I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session. The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly. @GregAbbott_TX

I am sitting here with a coffee in hand, reading comments from frustrated Republicans and reports of Trump’s mental collapse; it feels like a good morning. I am pleased with the outcome, yet we must keep perspective. President Trump remains in the White House, and although Democrats secured the House and Senate, legislation will require compromise. Real change demands showing up in 2028 for the Democratic nominee, whoever that may be. Additionally, @TheDemocrats should begin focusing on deep red states such as Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alabama, and Idaho. To win outright, you must move through those states.

Pretty funny
“I don’t want to be just sitting there for two years vetoing everything.” President Donald Trump picked up a call from @DashaBurns on POLITICO Elections Live and talked to us about the blue wave and how he’s willing to work with incoming congressional Democrats.  Watch live now: politi.co/4AgCofb

Enjoying the crash outs
Don’t you dare blame Trump alone for the 2026 midterm election losses. Blame John Thune and every RINO who turned their backs on Trump and helped the Democrats win. We could have passed the SAVE Act, but these RINOs failed us. We still have serious questions about who voted in these elections, including whether people who weren’t legally allowed to vote And I don’t care who gets mad. I’m standing with President Trump. I voted for him, and I’m sticking with him. If you don’t like it, I don’t care. Democrats stood behind Obama and Biden no matter what. So why the hell should I turn my back on Trump. I refuse to join the Democrats in their celebration. I will never support that party.

Pathetic man
TRUMP: "If Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, hadn’t become a RINO in the last six months of his Political Life, he wouldn’t have lost. He went back to his original formula, and it wasn’t pretty!"
