The crowd booed Pete Hegseth at Trump's Veterans Day remarks today. Trump knew it was coming and defended him anyway

Donald Trump: "I had a feeling that was going to happen. He's done a fantastic job, but he loves you and he protects you. He's all about you."

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

This seems like a completely normal thing for the Trump Administration to say...

@realMikeLindell You’re probably the only person in America, who was likely more tolerable when they were high on crack.

Voters rejected tariffs, the Iran war and sky-high gas prices. Asked if Republicans own any of it, John Thune shrugged today:

Sen. John Thune: "I think every election, it's never any one thing. I think it was a combination of things."

Republicans just lost Congress, and Tom Emmer's response is to threaten the Democrats voters put in charge

Tom Emmer: "To our colleagues on the left, enjoy this honeymoon phase because come January 3rd, 2027, you will regret ever putting your name on a ballot."

@JDVance I would say bombing fisherman, then going around for a second attempt at making sure they were all dead is an impeachable crime and a war crime.

But please keep defending the GOP way of thinking because it worked out really well for you guys in the midterms.

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

Even John Cornyn is done covering for Trump. Asked who's to blame for the GOP losing both chambers, he pointed right at him

Sen. John Cornyn: "I think he was on the ballot. Midterm elections are a referendum on the status quo, and I think we all know how that turned out."

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

@JDVance So was it another new jet for Trump or $700 million in slush fund money for Jared Kushner this time? I can't keep all their meetings straight anymore.

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

JD Vance wants to be president in 2028. Here he is "fixing" a flipped Facebook Live video by turning his camera upside down

JD Vance: "It's not like that most of the time. Just leave it."

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

Even GOP Rep. Thomas Massie says it: Trump's Venezuela war was about oil, not drugs

Rep. Thomas Massie: "This is a war. This is not a police activity to interdict drugs or to stop a drug ring. It was to kidnap a foreign leader so we could take their oil."

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

Lauren Boebert is OUT. A Navy veteran who ran on lowering costs just beat her, per CNN.

CNN: "CNN projecting that Democrat Eileen Laubacher will win Colorado's fourth congressional district, unseating Republican incumbent and reliable Trump ally Lauren Boebert."

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

A reporter just asked Trump the question millions of Americans have been thinking

Reporter: "How does it feel being a loser Mr. President?"

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

Trump says JD Vance was part of the decision-making process on the Iran war, undercutting Vance's apparent effort to distance himself from it.

Trump: "You know, he's part of a decision-making process"

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

@Dovakeen74313 Yeah, it's like holding a hand grenade while trying to navigate landmines at this point.

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

Leavitt swears plenty of qualified people want her job. Because this White House is so famous for vetting qualified people, right?

Karoline Leavitt: "There's a lot of qualified people who want the job and have been calling him and, you know, calling me for it."

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

@fshakir It's wild. Also, he looks super tired and defeated since Tuesday.

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

Only the Republican Party could lose a Midterm election so horrifically and decide the best strategy is to lean in even harder to literally everything that cost them Congress.

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

Trump thinks he's got a ticket to heaven. We've got some bad news for him.

Trump: "Well I'm a religious person. So in theory I go to heaven."

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

Asked about his net worth jumping $3 billion, Trump told Ross Douthat everyone's went up too. Struggling to pay rent? You should've owned stock, apparently.

Donald Trump: "Well, so did everyone."

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

Trump claimed no U.S. soldiers have been lost, then said moments later that 18 soldiers have died across the wars in Iran and Venezuela. Hundreds more have been wounded.

Trump: "Again, we haven't lost anybody. No soldiers have been lost."

[Democratic Reporter @DemsReporter]

Pete Hegseth has won zero wars. But that's Trump's whole case for why Democrats shouldn't impeach him:

Trump: "So when you say about Pete Hegseth, I mean, he's guilty of two things, basically winning two wars."
