I don't think Kamala should have conceded with so many things that were going on, especially the bomb threats from Russia. But, she did. We have no choice but to go on. For the next 4 yrs, we need to continue the movement she started. She just needs more time. We can't give up

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

I want you to know, MAGA:

You may have won this election, but you still suck. We supported Kamala Harris because she wanted to help ALL Americans, she wasn't running to stay out of prison or "own Republicans."

She had some terrific ideas, she didn't threaten to use the military on Americans, and she wasn't convicted of any felonies nor was she found liable for sexual assault.

And, unlike you, we're not rioting.
Unlike trump, she is conceding.

We're disappointed about the outcome of this election, not just for ourselves, but for people we care about, people we don't even know... and even YOU.

There is going to be a TON of hardship that billionaire Elon has already warned about -- he will be insulated from it, because he's fucking rich.

But many of you won't be able to afford the gold sneakers, the trump Bibles or NFTs anymore, and your eggs won't be cheaper. And many of you will SUFFER.

And all the shit that is about to happen, just remember that YOU voted for it.

To this incredible team, who gave their time away from family and friends to help me campaign for Kamala and Tim—I can’t say thank you enough. I’ll always have your back.

BREAKING: The Biden administration makes the stunning announcement that homelessness among veterans has plummeted to a record low since counting began in 2009.

And it gets even better...

This past January, Biden officials counted 32,882 homeless veterans, which constitutes a 55.6% decrease since 2010. Additionally, the number of unsheltered veterans dropped from 15,507 in 2023 to 13,851 in 2024.

The numbers were released by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, HUD, and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The drop is a direct result of aggressive efforts to address the problem.

The VA revealed last month that it's housing roughly 48,000 veterans and is focused on a "Housing First" approach that handles shelter and then offers veterans the services they require to remain sheltered.

VA Secretary Denis McDonough said that the country is "making real progress in the fight to end veteran homelessness" but added that "we still have a long way to go" and "we will not stop until every veteran has a safe, stable place to call home."

Our veterans deserve all of the love and support in the world. Together, we can solve this problem!

I've been involved in winning presidential races and races that lost. One common thread is that everyone seems to have a reason why you won or lost which usually reflects a personal perspective or agenda.

So here's mine: I think VP Harris ran a very good campaign that operated at a high level. She had a great convention, crushed Trump in a debate, and put on a series of big event rallies that were the best I'd ever seen.

As a Republican operative, I spent years pointing out flaws in the Democratic Party and I'm not here to say it doesn't need to go through a period of questioning and self-reflection. Those are much larger questions than one election and one campaign. But the Republican party is an anti-democratic movement, attacking the pillars of American democracy from elections to the judicial system.

I understand those who say that if there had been a "normal" Democratic primary, the results would have been better. Maybe. But think about it. In modern political history, every time a sitting VP has run for the nomination, that VP has won. Perhaps it would have been different this time and the eventual nominee would have emerged stronger for the process. But more likely there would have been a bloody primary fight that left the nominee broke and trying to patch together a fractured party to face a Republican party that has become Donald Trump's party. In all probability, VP Harris would have won that primary and been in a weakened and vulnerable position when it was finally resolved in May or June.

I would say to my Democratic friends to go through this post-election process with open minds and hearts but never doubt that the Democratic party is the only pro-democracy party in America. No one will have a position in Trump's administration who is not an election denier adhering to the Big Lie. That's toxic to a country's sense of self and the damage will take a generation to repair, if it is possible to heal.

Losing an election does not mean that you were wrong and they were right. It means you lost an election. I grew up in Mississippi watching my parents back candidates opposed to segregation. When those candidates lost, and they did for a long time, my parents didn't question if they were on the right side. They didn't ask themselves if the majority who supported segregation had proven the justness of their cause by winning.

The mid-terms start after the Super Bowl. It will likely be a good election for Democrats and then the 2028 presidential race will be upon us. After a loss, the days seem long but the months will pass quickly. Reflect, rest up, but come back prepared to fight. Fight not because victory is assured but fight because not to fight is to give up. And if we do that, we no longer deserve to call ourselves Americans.

Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law.

I would know because I wrote the law.

Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.

This is what illegal corruption looks like. https://t.co/JJjJ59DgB5

The white women who once again voted for a rapist find it “unfair” of me to blame them for this shit, do they?

Newsflash, I don’t fucking care.
You didn’t care when you voted for the sexual predator who robbed my daughter of her right to bodily autonomy.

So you can fuck all the way off.

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

This will be a post that will piss everyone off, and I welcome it but here it is.

Based on data we are learning, this isn't a blowout Trump win. Numbers don't back it up. Not a landslide. Not a damning referendum.

Harris didn't run a terrible campaign. In fact impressive considering she had 2.5 months and got close in a post pandemic environment where nearly every incumbent got destroyed. She did much better than Biden would've based on internal Dem polls.

Yes, she made mistakes and Dems must improve and Biden made mistakes. All true. But Dems also picked up seats in swing states and won on abortion rights and against school vouchers.

People who had correct facts about economy, crime, immigration, inflation and trans issues overwhelmingly went Harris. Those who didn't? Trump. Her policies when presented blindly to Trump supporters were popular to them.

People are missing the post pandemic reality, the power of racism and identity politics of Trump's campaign, the failures of corporate media and influence of right wing disinformation as major factors.

RIP my mentions.
