Reeling in the week's political nonsense 🎣 Opinions mine, facts sourced.

@tedcruz Ted's advice to the Cabinet after a big GOP loss: quit now or hunker down for two years. If you're already sure no replacement could get through the Senate voters just picked, maybe the problem isn't Senate Democrats, Ted.

@SenWarren Easy call. Affordable child care pays off for decades. Parents keep their jobs, kids show up to school ready, and families can finally breathe. Invest in the babies, Senator. 🙌

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@SenAdamSchiff @EPA @SenMarkey @SenWhitehouse Clean water isn't a partisan perk, it's the bare minimum. People spent decades winning these protections, and an EPA trying to water them down should worry every family that turns on a tap. Keep the pressure on.

@newtgingrich @jmclghln Newt, higher prices, nonstop chaos in DC and a party that answers to one man aren't much of a sales pitch. Want a compelling vision? Start by owning the last two years instead of pretending they didn't happen.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

Trump told 60 Minutes he could go six months without insulting Democrats. So the nicknames were always a choice. Voters just handed Dems the House and Senate, and suddenly we get a manners trial run. Will he make it six days?

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@FoxNews So every market high is his economy, but every dip is the Democrats' fault? He's the one in the White House. You can't take credit for the highs and pin 401(k) losses on people who haven't even been sworn in yet. Own it.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@BernieSanders 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck while one man owns more than the bottom 53% of households. That's not a free market, it's a rigged one. Raise wages, tax billionaires, fund childcare, and quit handing the 1% more tax cuts.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@EndWokeness So we're panicking about a law that hasn't been written, from a Congress that hasn't been elected yet? If 2029 scares you this much, maybe look at the GOP's record, not the voters. Real immigration reform beats Sunday fearmongering.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@RepNancyMace Full stop? Then push for a ban with real teeth, one that covers the President and VP too. Otherwise it's a nice tweet while the trades keep rolling in.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

NY Republicans took big losses, and now Elise Stefanik wants a GOP "rebuild" on affordability, housing and energy costs. Funny how that pitch gets loud after the votes are counted. Some in her party want state chair Ed Cox out. Why buy the reboot now?

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@SenWarren Cars, food, medicine and planes all have safety rules. AI shouldn't get a free pass just because its billionaires have a seat at Trump's dinner table. Write the guardrails now, not after something goes wrong.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@FoxNews A bipartisan impeachment threat, and his move is a hype video telling troops to "ignore the noise"? That noise is Congress doing oversight. Troops deserve a leader who answers questions, not one who films pep talks instead.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@RepNancyMace "Protect 2A." Cool. Now protect the kindergartners doing lockdown drills. Universal background checks poll well even with gun owners, but somehow your version of "protect" covers the gun lobby and never the kids.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

Karoline Leavitt went on Fox with Lara Trump and blamed the GOP's midterm wipeout on inflation from Biden. Trump's run the economy for almost two years and it's still Biden's fault? Voters didn't buy it Tuesday. Who's still buying it now?

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@EndWokeness Funny how the experience question gets loud when her name's Keisha. California, Massachusetts and Hawaii already keep credit scores out of car insurance and the sky hasn't fallen. ZIP code pricing says as much about who lives there as it does about risk.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@TrumpTruthOnX So the answer to impeachment calls is reposting a fan account that says "Patriots are in control"? That's a slogan, not a defense. If Hegseth's got a real answer, he can give it under oath.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@newtgingrich Not much of a mystery, Newt. Gerrymandered maps, voting to cut health care, and answering to donors over voters will do that. When even Texas says no thanks, it's not a messaging problem. It's the agenda.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@EndWokeness Credit scores aren't a merit badge. They reflect who got access to credit, and decades of redlining and lending discrimination shaped that. Fixing a system that bakes it in isn't "making whites pay." It's getting it to measure risk, not history.

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

A record 255 Muslim Americans now hold office in 26 states. That's 11 mayors, 18 judges and 4 House members. Muslims are 1 to 1.6% of the country and they're winning at the ballot box. Right-wing accounts are treating it like a crisis. Scared of voters now?

[BlueWaveTakes @BlueWaveTakes]

@JBPritzker @PodSaveAmerica @CrookedMedia This. Voters showed up big Tuesday. Now Dems in Congress have to match that energy. No more timid deals with a GOP that voted to cut health care and SNAP. Lead loud, lead now.
