In the spirit of importing our preferences into whatever the voters were thinking last Tuesday, let me add that I hope it was a mandate to move beyond trolling, owning, gaslighting, and acting like children.

[Elizabeth Goitein @LizaGoitein]

Republican leaders in the lame-duck Congress, with help from two key Democrats (yes, really), are trying to ram through a bill—while they still can—to give President Trump warrantless access to Americans’ communications. SCROLL TO LAST POST to see how you can help stop it. 1/14

I present to you, in two images, the disconnect between how Colom won versus how nutty very online lefties think Colom won

[Jason Pye @pye]

@dougstafford It's just shitty behavior. Like, Republicans lost the Senate. We know. You don't have to make a scene of it. Also, Hyde-Smith was graceful yesterday, as was the Mississippi GOP. What's the point of this?

[Jason Pye @pye]

Look, I have my issues with Republicans these days because they do whatever Trump wants. Harassing staffers, who are trying to find jobs because their boss lost, is a real dick move.

[Walter Masterson @waltermasterson]

We popped in to let Cindy know she lost.

Congrats Scott Colom on being the first Black Senator in Mississippi since 1881.

Some people might ask... who? Who @HSGAC_GOP?

[Hannah Cox @HannahDCox]

As I’ve written about before, the defining trait of conservative Christians in the modern American era is a deeply ingrained martyr complex.

To many operating under this belief system, the recent rape conviction of Johnny-come-lately Christian convert, Russell Brand, is proof of that persecution.

Mind you, the investigation began in 2019, was made public in Sep of 2023, and he began discussing his newfound faith in Dec 2023.

So are Christians and conservatives being targeted with sexual crime accusations due to their views, or is there something about these movements predators find particularly attractive?

This isn’t a Scooby Doo conundrum.

@lyndseyfifield We had a piano briefly. It was never in tune. My mom wanted to learn. I think she took lessons briefly. We had old vinyl records of Christmas classics. We transferred a bunch of those to tape. I wish I still had those records.

[Daniel Schuman @danielschuman]

Should the Senate make all their bills and amendments available to all prior a vote? Yes. Do they? Ummmm.

So we asked @SenateRules @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer @SenatorHeinrich @SenMcConnell to do something about it. @nprpolitics's Eric McDaniel has the story.

[Jason Hart @jasonahart]

This is not an argument @bradleydevlin is going to win. The receipts are as readily available (tap the link below) to you as they are to @NoahCRothman, who wrecked Devlin here.

@JDVance has said (at a gala for Devlin's former employer @amconmag) that Bernie Sanders is his favorite Democrat. Vance said the best person in the Biden Admin was Lina Khan, a socialist who now works for Mamdani.

Vance called himself & his fellow speakers at a 2022 "pro-life New Dealer" conference organized by his socialist friend @SohrabAhmari "the vanguard of a new Republican Party."

Vance has literally said the feds should "seize the assets" of his political opponents, and boasted to @TuckerCarlson that he does not care if big businesses are private companies.

Vance is (like Devlin) a professed postliberal; postliberalism is a blend of conservative social views and progressive central planning.

They're socially conservative socialists.

This is a remarkable tweet. Under what circumstances are unilateral tariffs, unilateral war, mass deportations, and large-scale crackdowns on free speech examples of "running to the middle"? His version of "bold conservatism" (which is really bold authoritarianism and bold corruption) is what turned the country against the GOP.

John Rocker's racist ass getting cooked by Ken Bone was not on my 2026 bingo card.

[Tammy B @Greedsakiller]

They talk a good game about respecting people that serve and protect our country and then this… Hegseth and his staff get yelled at for being disrespectful at the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

🚨This morning we reached the required 218 signatures on my discharge petition for Epstein Files Transparency Act II !

I’m working closely with @RepJayapal, @RepTeresaLF and @RepRoKhanna to get this to the floor for a vote soon.

[Marc Krupanski @mkrupanski]

I’ve heard some criminal justice reformers on the Left try to claim the midterms were a backlash to a law and order agenda. This is so far from the truth.

Law and order politics and CJ policy weren’t driving factors in the election. It gave no new mandate. Don’t overreach.

[Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree]

There will be a House vote soon on a new plan to force release of material in the Epstein Files. Two final signatures on a discharge petition from Rep. Thomas Massie R-KY gave it 218 --> sending it to the House floor

That shitty one-hit wonder band, Trapt, is playing at the local bowling alley this weekend.

Poetic.

hey how about you shut the hell up
