Trump is having a full-blown meltdown: "Here we go again! With the perceived loss by the Republicans in the Midterms - I WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT- the INVASION of our Country is taking place again. Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico. Many of the people in these Caravans are those that various countries don’t want - 'Send them to America,' they say - But they will not be accepted! MEXICO MUST STOP THEM, NOW, and if they do not do so, the Tariffs on Mexico will be IMMEDIATELY DOUBLED. MEXICO, THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, THE VERY LIBERAL NEW GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, OUR GREAT BORDER PATROL, & ICE, HAVE BEEN SO INFORMED. There will be no leniency! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
WaPo: House Freedom Caucus argues Republicans were not aggressive enough
Members of the House Freedom Caucus said in a news conference Wednesday that House Republicans didn’t do enough to appeal to the nation’s most conservative voters this election — resulting in massive losses for the House GOP.
“It’s not because we didn’t do enough liberal things that we had the result last Tuesday,” said Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pennsylvania), who lost his seat. “It’s because we didn’t deliver on the things that we told America we were going to do.”

If we can’t manage to get any redistricting reform through congress, KLB, Hinojosa, Acton, Stein, and Crowley need to LOCK IN for 2030. We cannot afford another project redmap.
Maria Flores Garcia was her high school’s valedictorian & is a student at UMD. Her arrest is the latest example of how Trump lied when he said that he’d only go after the “worst of the worst.”
I’m seeking answers on Maria’s detention & working to get her released.

When Republicans win a 4-seat majority in the House and a 3-seat majority in the Senate.
"This is a mandate! Liberalism is dead!"
When Democrats win (at least) a 90-seat majority in the House and a 10-seat majority in the Senate…
"Democrats need to reach across the aisle."🤣😂
I was looking through election results from Travis County and found a fun one from last year. In Bee Cave, TX, voters approved building a new public library by a 13.2 point margin, but rejected the following referendum, which provided the $19.98 million in bonds to pay for it.
It’s crazy how people can just lie online.
In case you are curious what the bills actually are, it’s not allowing sex offenders to own a gun, not allowing people with a mental illness to own a gun, and increasing penalties for parents who let their children get ahold of guns.
A good illustration of how a conservative goal remains the erasure of all LGBTQ+ people, & of the existence of same-sex relationships, from public life & public recognition.
This is an insane choice. The vote was 106-73.
Between Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and minority leader Jim Jordan, one does not get the sense the GOP learned literally anything at all.
