NEW: The Jan. 6 plaque honoring law enforcement will be moved somewhere more prominent once Democrats are in charge of Congress, Rep. Joe Morelle tells @ChrisMarquette_

Rep. @SarahEMcBride: I have had conversations with Leader Hakeem Jeffries and I am convinced that he is in favor of a bold transformational economic agenda for our country and that he is in favor of our party putting that forward…
He would be the first Black Speaker of the House of Representatives in American history, and he just presided over the single largest landslide for House Democrats since the 1970s.
I have had a front row seat. It's why Rep. @AOC is supporting him. It's why our caucus is broadly united.
Gary Chambers of Louisiana deserves accolades for the years of advocacy and organizing in the Black community to galvanize political power and turnout the vote. He has pointed out there should be a new Southern strategy with a call to action for the National Democratic Party. With 30-40% Black population in the Southern States these midterm elections was a demonstration of the work paying off. This is a legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. While Stacey Abrams deserves praise for the organizing that brought on this Blue wave in Georgia, @GaryChambersJr has been doing the same in Louisiana. With no resources from the National party, we were 2 points from winning the Senate seat, 2 seats in a runoff on December 12, and the attention of the nation, in spite of the Voting Rights Act being destroyed in Louisiana v. Callais. When evil people plot, good people plan. Gary Chambers reminds us to exercise our right of self determination. Vote 12/12
John Oliver's whole show tonight is about Pete Hegseth, who has plenty to say about women in combat.
Oliver: His own mother once wrote: "You are an abuser of women. That is the ugly truth."
Q: You said it was tough to transfer your own appeal to candidates. But in a lot of cases, you picked the candidates. You endorsed Ken Paxton in Texas. You endorsed Darline Graham in South Carolina.
Trump: But Cornyn would have lost also. Darline, I did that in honor of a man named Lindsey, who was a friend of mine, and she fought hard. She fought hard. She really did.
Q: She lost a very Republican state to a very liberal challenger.
Trump: I won South Carolina by the highest vote in history by far. I won Texas by the highest vote in history by far. I won Florida, who, by the way, I did endorse. And he’s going to be a great governor and a great… senator. I would endorse both of them.
And had I not endorsed them, they wouldn’t have won.
I think the real reason the Los Angeles Chargers are historically bad this year… Is the black cloud of Adam Gase being on the coaching staff 🫣 #TikTokCampaign#football#americanfootball
Retired Navy Vice Admiral and Congresswoman-elect Nancy Lacore (D-SC) said she “was never given a reason” as to why Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired her in August 2025, but “at this point, it doesn't really matter.”
“It opened a door for me to do what I'm doing now and continuing my service in Congress,” she told @margbrennan on Friday.
When asked what impeachable offenses she thinks Secretary Hegseth has committed, she said “there’s probably plenty, and I do believe that this will be handled before I get there.”
Once Democrats are in charge come January, it’s going to be much harder for Trump to appoint judges.
“I don’t think any more judges who refuse to say who won the 2020 election are getting confirmed,” Marc Elias says.
Not every threat to your vote makes the news. Follow us to track the ones that don't.
since this seems to be going over people's heads: this is a response to Tony Hinchcliffe, who told the same exact joke about George Floyd at the Kevin Hart roast
