If you are confused how John Thune just became Senate minority leader…
Imagine your party gets hammered in the midterms, losing at least seven Senate seats to the Democrats and the majority along with it, and instead of stopping to ask what went wrong, Senate Republicans walk into a closed-door room just one week later, shut out the very voters who sent them there, and come back out with the EXACT SAME leader, because when Ron Johnson, Rick Scott, Mike Lee and others begged for a little more time so members could lay out a real vision for the party, the delay was voted down 31-15 in a private tally we only know about from anonymous sources, and then, with no challenger and no recorded vote, Thune kept his job by acclamation, and the rest of the leadership team stayed almost entirely unchanged, as if nothing happened, as if millions of Republican voters didn't just watch their majority crumble, as if "accountability" is something Washington demands of everyone except itself, so now the SAME people who led us into the minority get to lead us through it, Republican voters still don't know how their own senators voted on the delay, and we're all just supposed to nod along and trust the process and feckless, worthless people that put us here in the first place, which is exactly why so many of us are FURIOUS tonight.
Pete Hegseth is facing an impeachment vote in a lame-duck House, and Hakeem Jeffries is already a hard yes.
Only 399 members voted Monday night, and 202 of them were Democrats. Attendance could decide this one.
Even Don Bacon called it a gray zone. That should tell you how weak the case is.
Every Republican needs to be in that chamber this week. Show up and stand up for Pete.
It would be a mistake to try and cancel any comic. In fact, I defend Dave Chappelle's right to tell any "joke" he wants, even if it's about the murder of my friend, an innocent man. I just want to live in a culture with enough moral clarity not to laugh.
BREAKING: Tim Burchett just TOOK THE GLOVES OFF and called out the person suspected to be behind the stalling of his bill to stop paying the Taliban. This is HUGE!!!
"We got a fellow over in the Senate who is a staffer, but he was a former, I believe, ambassador to Afghanistan, and his name is what?"
"Tom West. And apparently, our good friend, Tulsi Gabbard and the Trump administration denied him his security clearance because of his alleged cozy relationship with the Taliban. And so, I suspect that's what's going on in the Senate. That's why they are, they're stopping the bill."
If this is true, it's a BETRAYAL of epic proportions. He also said there are GOP Senators who are likely getting KICKBACKS from Afghanistan.
DEFUND THE TALIBAN, THEY CAN HATE US FOR FREE!

Subject: URGENT: Corporate Governance & Sponsor Alignment – I've Had It Podcast
I am writing to you directly as leadership regarding a severe and unaddressed risk to the Article brand.
Your company is currently the sole remaining sponsor of the I've Had It podcast following its November 5th episode, in which the hosts openly celebrated political violence.
Over the past 72 hours, twenty major corporations—CashApp, Boll and Branch, Nobl Travel, Lola Blankets, ZipRecruiter, Honey Love, Chewy, Jones Road Beauty, NutraFol, Ridge Wallet, Ethos, Zenni, Ember, iRestore, Ladder, Momentous, ASPCA Pet Insurance, Cozy Earth, Caspar and Quince have left the podcast.
As a direct-to-consumer brand, Article relies heavily on public trust and clean lifestyle alignment. Maintaining active advertising agreements, functional promo codes, and live landing funnels with this specific program signals to consumers a corporate endorsement of toxic and violent rhetoric.
Quiet backend deactivations or generic customer service replies will not suffice. As executive leadership, you must take immediate accountability:
• Terminate the corporate advertising agreement with this show immediately.
• Deactivate all active promotional codes and custom landing pages.
• Issue a formal, public corporate statement confirming your permanent departure.
Article stands completely alone on this matter, and your consumer base is actively keeping score. We expect an immediate and transparent resolution.
Do the right thing today, please.
Sincerely,
It’s time Republicans play identity politics. Without the Latino vote, we don’t win and I think this ticket right here is a great 2028 ticket. Thoughts?
Combat veteran who walked the streets of Baghdad and Afghanistan says watching Muslim politicians get elected here feels like everything he and his brothers fought for was for nothing.
He spent years in the Middle East to keep the fight over there. Now he’s watching the country he served elect the same people he was sent to stop.
“I’ve lost brothers and sisters in convoys, experiencing things that most humans couldn’t even fathom.”
“You’re literally letting the snake in our house and the people are .. cheering for it.”
“All these years wasted… so many of our brothers died for nothing. Makes me .. sick.”
The numbers:
• ~7,073 U.S. service members killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, with over 50,000 wounded.
• CAIR reports a record 255 Muslim elected officials nationwide in 2026, including a record 7 headed to Congress after the midterms (first Muslim senator Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan, plus Omar, Tlaib, Carson and others).
This is what a lot of combat veterans are sitting with right now. They went over there, lost friends in convoys and on the roads, and came home to watch the country open the door and cheer. That feeling of betrayal doesn’t go away because the media calls it “progress.”
According to 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, @articlemodern appears to be the last advertiser left on Jennifer Welch’s “𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘥 𝘐𝘵” podcast.
Internet, do your thing.
Tell @articlemodern to pull its ads.
Let’s get that sponsor count to zero. https://t.co/H3seyi8fE5
