Absolutely wild.
60 MINUTES REPORT: Ross Douthat interviews President Trump in his first sit-down interview since the 2026 midterm elections.
The wide-ranging conversation covered immigration and corruption, Iran and artificial intelligence, his potential successors and his own mortality. The interview begins with the election results.
This dude is gonna close out his presidency passing comprehensive immigration reform and M4A (presumably, to be named Trumpcare).
Trump: I think that’s something that’s actually doable.
Q: Doable to create some kind of legal status for the landscapers?
Trump: Yeah. When you go into a hotel and you have a woman that’s worked there as a… You know, as a maid, as a cleaner, as a this, as a that, as a waitress—a lot of good things, great jobs. And all of a sudden, they’re being taken out of the country. It’s tough. It’s a tough thing.
But there’s a group of people that I would say on the sort of pretty far right that would like everybody taken out.
Q: Do any of those people work in your administration? Are they in the building with us right now?

AG Todd Blanche suggested that he’ll criminally investigate Congressional Democrats for “threatening” Republicans by telling them to “lawyer up.”
So will @AGToddBlanche also investigate Republican members of Congress and federal officials who’ve said the exact same thing?

DOUTHAT: Your net worth went up by $3 billion
TRUMP: So did everyone’s
DOUTHAT: My net worth did not go up by $3 billion
TRUMP: You should’ve owned stock. I have a lot of money. Far more than I ever thought I’d have

Republicans will spend time and treasure, likely years and millions of dollars, for consultants and experts and pundits to find out what went wrong and how this happened. Save your money and don’t waste your time. The answer came 10 years ago by a Senator from South Carolina who didn’t live to see his prophetic words come to pass. “If we nominate Donald Trump we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it.” Republicans blew up their party, their values, their dignity and decency for a man who wasn’t even a Republican. Unilateral tariffs on our allies by executive orders isn’t conservative. Siding with Vladimir Putin’s murderous war in Ukraine isn’t conservative. Accepting a bribe from a foreign country in the form of an airplane that costs hundreds of millions of dollars isn’t conservative. Turning untrained thugs in masks loose in our communities to murder American citizens in cold blood isn’t conservative. Threatening to invade and conquer a sovereign country, an ally, isn’t conservative. Pardoning people who assaulted law enforcement officers isn’t conservative. The list is too long and too exhausting to contemplate. Republican law makers lit themselves on fire for a thrice married, sociopathic, mentally unstable reality tv personality who bragged about acing a test to check for dementia and spoke about the asses of male candidates for the US Senate. There was a time when I believed we should welcome any of them who finally spoke up back into polite society. But that ship has sailed. These people should live in shame for the rest of their days, shunned and repudiated in history books, never to hold a position that requires the public trust ever again.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Sanders: Over 60% of the people support Medicare for All. Overwhelming support for increasing taxes on billionaires. Overwhelming support for ending the war and U.S. military aid to the Israeli government. These are not “progressive ideas.” These are the ideas that the vast majority of the American people believe in.

.@jamestalarico's political enemies insinuated that he was gay, wasn't masculine, had a mental breakdown and a sketchy web browser history.
He responded by affirming they were made in the image of God, and that he loved them. Voters responded.
It was a blow to the 2015-present MAGA era of politics as professional wrestling.

They don't all have the same plan, but every new Dem US Senator who flipped their seat knows that addressing healthcare costs is what their constituents need. Dems need to deliver for us.

The Democratic Party, was at its height of its political power when the political ideology of a candidate matched their geographical background rather than the parties orthodoxy. We need a broad spectrum of Democrats from southern states, coastal states, and Midwestern states — because that’s what America is: diverse and progressive. Progressive doesn’t just mean left. Progressive means fighting in rural conservative communities to move the needle as well.
