To all the people texting me asking if this is a real quote:
Yep.

Leader @hakeemjeffries: In front of us right now is the Hegseth impeachment resolution. I’m a hard yes. Pete Hegseth has abused his power, undermined America’s national security, and he’s the architect of the failed war in Iran.

How big was the early vote for Dems? Cooper in NC, Talarico in TX and Ossoff in GA all had more EARLY votes than their opponents had in total, per @NBCNews decision desk. Put another way, they could have each received zero election day votes and still won.

Every one of these candidates lost.

When I first read @atrupar’s framing of this clip, I hesitated and recoiled slightly at his wording, as I had not watched it yet. But Aaron is right.
I was born in Washington, DC and have spent most of my life here. I know the city backwards and forwards and know many hundreds of people who live here. I don’t think ANY of them believe this is reality. It is literally a concoction in the president’s own head. None of this has has happened and the overwhelming majority of people I know believe that Trump has had a very negative effect on the city in the past two years rather than a positive one.

☀️AM: EXTINCTION-LEVEL EVENT FOR HILL GOP
This isn’t a blue wave or even a tsunami. Tuesday night’s midterm election was an extinction-level event for President Donald Trump’s party on Capitol Hill.
A diminished, lame-duck Trump now has to govern with a Democratic House and Senate for the last two years of his presidency. The 80-year-old Trump will face a rejuvenated Democratic Party that won gigantic majorities by running a nationwide referendum on a president and GOP leadership they see as economically inept, legislatively incompetent and morally bankrupt.
PLUS
- Democrats barrel through the red wall
- Can any House Republican leader win re-election? No one is safe. Can't imagine Johnson can make a case. Will be difficult for Scalise. Could we see an entirely new leadership with a 75-seat Dem majority?
- Schumer's big moment -- and Thune's plans. Will we get a lame-duck SCOTUS fight, given Rs are facing an uncertain Senate landscape for years to come.
- An rundown on the legislative risk for energy, defense, health care, tech, financial services, crypto, approps.
- Republicans' gerrymander completely fails. They lost every redrawn seat in America.

Tensions have risen at Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan since the school rolled out an amended curriculum that parents say is not what they signed up for.

EL-SAYED to TRUMP: I will go through a metal detector if you will sit for a lie detector. My first question, Epstein. Second question, did you win the 2020 election? I will go through a metal detector every day if you sit through a lie detector one time.
Can you tell us more about why Capitol Hill Montessori is no longer Montessori?
The lottery website says it is.
We loved connecting with DC families, answering questions, and sharing resources to help families prepare for the My School DC lottery season ahead.
We’re excited to keep showing up at events across the District all year long. See the My School DC table? Come say hi!

This man has 34 felony convictions for fraud.
Trump: "It has just been determined that the Democrats in Alaska illegally searched for, and recruited, a man named Dan Sullivan to run against our distinguished Republican Senator, Dan Sullivan, in order to defraud, confuse, and obfuscate the Election, thereby taking votes away from the REAL Senator, Dan Sullivan. The New York Times reports that, 'Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska’s Senate ballot. But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run — as well as other candidates.' The Democrats’ false statements were made under oath in Federal Court. Therefore, they perjured themselves, and should be liable for very serious consequences. Mary Peltola should suffer the Legal and Political consequences for what she has done, A FRAUD ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, and Dan Sullivan should be allowed to run without either Mary Peltola or FAKE Dan Sullivan on the Ballot. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
lol aka the President of the United States
Q: President Trump said, “Kevin is great, but Kevin is one vote out of a board with numerous people that were put on by Obama and Biden, and a couple by me. You have a board that would like to see the country do badly, in my opinion.” Do you agree?
Warsh: I will not be responding to quotes from public officials…
