@JohnKingCNN: "A lot of Democrats who love Kamala Harris, voted for Kamala Harris, say, 'We can't do that again because we can't elect a woman and we can't elect a woman of colour.' That conversation changed last night.
The state of Georgia elected an African-American woman to be governor. The state of Texas elected a Latina to be governor.
The conversations in [Harris'] camp about 'Can we do this?' are a lot different today than they were 48 hours ago."
Here Colom is admitting the days before the election that Kamala Harris was brought to campaign for him to get his black voting metrics up and to get attention on rural hospitals.
This has nothing to do with DSA.
"Some Democrats have just basically said, 'Oh, that's nice if you wanna do some work in the South, but we can't win the South, therefore we will not put the resources into it.' That's a huge mistake… and if we're going to be a party that cares about all the people, we have to put the resources into speaking with them and most importantly, first and foremost, listening."
Kamala Harris (August 2026)
Last night Trump said he could have won Vietnam in a week. His plan was “going after Ho Chi Minh City.”
Ho Chi Minh City was Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. Our ally. The enemy’s capital was Hanoi. We bombed it.
He called the presidents who fought that war stupid, then explained how he’d have won it by attacking our own side.
58,220 Americans died in that war. Trump got five deferments. Now he’s telling the rest of us how easy it would have been.
He’s had more than fifty years to learn which side we were on. He still hasn’t. That alone should disqualify him from sending anybody else’s kids to war.
Instead, he’s weighing more strikes on Iran after Tuesday. His administration has reportedly considered using the “mother of all bombs,” the one he calls “like a tiny nuclear bomb.”
The man who thinks we should have bombed our ally’s capital gets to choose the targets.
BREAKING: Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) is in the hospital after a stroke. There's no word yet on his condition.
Hoping for the best. Murphy is an incredible man and great Senator.
