The Denver Broncos have checked in around the league on tight ends, going so far as to ambitiously -- and some would say outrageously -- check on Cardinals star Trey McBride, who is from Fort Morgan, Colorado, and played at Colorado State. The Cardinals made it very clear they have zero intention of trading McBride.

NEW: Chair @KateMcGeeAZ statement on 99% of ballots being tabulated within 72 hours of General Election polls closing.

Nick Mansour won this race fair and square. As Republicans we need to count our losses, adjust, and move on.

ELECTION FAILURE! The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors promised for months that we would have election results ON election night. THEY LIED. Hearing they’re scrambling to bring in additional staff because at this pace they won’t be done counting for days!

Moderates and Neocons rewarded Trump for working with them on Israel and doing next to nothing in the Senate by voting for Democrats or sitting at home Tuesday. The result is the most radically socialist Democrat swing in American history.

🚨Long lines meant @Maricopacounty didn't set up enough voting locations for Election Day🗳 They said I was lying when I warned @debbielesko @KateMcGeeAZ @thomasgalvin @MaricopaVote But indeed, I was correct 🎯

For the last two years, the Trump Administration has been governed by a simple mantra: “We can just do things.” On Tuesday, voters replied, “So can we,” and wiped out the GOP. This was not a blue wave. This was not a blue tsunami. This was the breakup of a winning coalition. Those voters, in breaking up the coalition, treated downballot races as proxies for their contempt of Washington, D.C. The race for dog catcher became nationalized because of Republican political malpractice. In 2024, Donald Trump assembled a multiracial and multiethnic coalition of voters who bristled at the progressivism of the Democrats and the wreckage of the economy. By 2026, Trump and his White House acolytes set that coalition on fire to cater to a group of hyperonline grievance mongers who have confused Twitter with real life. Last night, the American constitutional system worked as designed and worked so well and so thoroughly that the party that lied to itself in 2020 that it had lost only because the election was stolen is now lying to itself that it lost only because of gas prices and war. Last night’s drubbing was too complete to be theft. It was gas prices.
And it was the war. But it was also calling affordability a “hoax.”
And it was also the corruption.
The incompetence.
The tariffs.
The playing nice with Russia while treating our allies worse than our enemies.
The impression of cruelty.
The overly aggressive deportations.
The accidental arrests of American citizens who were Hispanic.
The arrogance.
The ballroom.
The reflecting poll.
The golf courses.
The arch.
The Qatari 747.
The aggressive redistricting push.
The threats against enemies. It turns out a weekend Fox and Friends host might not be a reassuring beacon of competence to Americans. Gas prices and the war cannot explain a wipe out from top to bottom in Texas or Georgia or losing South Carolina or Ohio or a total coast to coast wipe out. Only the simpletons can believe that. Adam Hamilton won Finney County in Kansas, which was a Trump +35 county in 2024 and he did so with Hispanic voters. He did not do that just because of war and gas prices. And shall we talk about Mississippi? A few weeks ago, Bo French in Texas attacked University of Texas students who were American citizens of Indian descent. A portion of the President’s base cheered him on. Even some within the Administration, on public Twitter accounts tied to the Administration, echoed him. Those voters’ parents repudiated the racism in the GOP and wiped out Republicans in Texas, not because they support the Democrats, but because the party they had supported turned on them. It was political malpractice by the GOP.

Legal immigrant and American citizen @GabyBiggs predicts that Maricopa County will take 2-3 weeks to count ballots - but I honestly think they've already figured out the cheat so early on this evening that it's not necessary. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
