FFS, he's a narcissist. Dude, you underperformed on the Democratic ticket. You won in a purple state, and Democrats spent shitloads of money to get you elected. Have some humility. If you want to talk about the real main characters of this election, it's @scott_colom, @RevAdamHamilton, and @jamestalarico.
JUST IN: Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed calls himself the "main character" of the 2026 midterm elections.

Just spitting facts. Amen.
The midterms are over & GOP got wiped, so now we'll see folks come out of the woodwork with a newfound set of balls. After Trump's 2024 victory, a lot of NatSec folks began self-censoring; others sought to curry favor with the Administration. I kept receipts & I see you, cowards.

Republicans, ENOUGH with the Trumpist personality cult. We lost. Can we try PRINCIPLED CONSERVATISM for a change? The same people who spent years calling DeSantis โ€œMeatball Ronโ€ are now suddenly polishing his halo and begging him to save the party. Yesterday he was a meatball, today he's the Messiah. Good grief. Do we want a Republican Party or a travelling circus of political saviours? ๐Ÿ˜‚

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. said, โ€œTaxes are what we pay for a civilized society.โ€ I'm happy to pay my taxes if they help people who genuinely need them. My compassionate conservative heart can't stand seeing kids go hungry because their parents can't afford school breakfast or lunch. It's not their fault.
If you had to pay an extra $6 out of every paycheck, but it meant every kid in public school got free breakfast and lunch, no matter how much their parents make, would you do it?

This is the future of GOP. Crazy Christian nationalists... We're fucked.
Good riddance. Moving forward, we don't need any more demon worship at the RNC either.

I'm a Republican. I'm a conservative. A normal, old-school conservative, and I'm honestly losing whatever hope I had left for this party. Look at the 2028 frontrunners: Trump loyalists, ass-kissers and clowns. And now Twitter is screaming "DeSantis 2028!" or "Rubio 2028!" like changing the face of the circus will fix anything. Same clowns, different car. I'm afraid the GOP is beyond saving. ๐Ÿคก

Once again, tech bros and VC bros are fucking idiots. Stop listening to them about anything involving the real world, especially politics. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I am going to make a bold and early call. @VivekGRamaswamy will run for POTUS and win. I think the country is ready for his message. He is young, smart, talented and will attract the center to the right to win. He speaks hard truths which many believe but fear to say.

This ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡
Iโ€™ll go even further. If you stylistically and rhetorically liked Rubio and Toomey in 2010 (I did!), Ossoff and Talarico are much closer to that than anyone Republicans currently have (including the 2026 version of Rubio!),

This guy might already be my favourite senator, and I say that as a lifelong Republican and conservative. We'll see how he votes and how he conducts himself in the Senate, but if he keeps this up, count me in: #TalaFreako4Life.
.@JamesTalarico: There was a lot of talk in this campaign about what it means to be a man, and I wanted to take that discussion head-on. When I got those attacks, I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico โ€” the man who gave me his last name, the man who raised me as his own. Every Saturday morning, my dad would mow our lawn, rain or shine, and then he would go next door and mow our neighborโ€™s lawn because she was an elderly widow. He never talked about it. He just did it. A man upholds his commitments to his family and to his neighbors. A man does whatโ€™s right even when no one is watching. Thatโ€™s the kind of man I try to be every day, and I hope thatโ€™s the kind of man young guys across this state and country will try to be going forward.

Never forget the words of the great @Liz_Cheney . Today, they feel more relevant than ever.

You want to know why Republicans are losing Texas? Look no further. This is what happens when a party spends a decade elevating podcast grifters, immature loudmouths and self-proclaimed intellectuals over serious people with principles and actual governing experience. The GOP was supposed to be a party of ideas and leadership, not a circus. Time to grow up and take our party back. ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
