Transcript:

It finally happened. A blue wave hit the country last night. Republicans wiped out everywhere. Virginia, flipping. New Jersey not even close. Georgia kicking out Republican incumbents and Donald Trump spent the night panic posting like a guy who just had the floor drop out from under him.

We’re going to go through the numbers. Will look at the margins, will look at the swings, and Republicans are pretending this doesn’t mean anything. It’s just Democrats winning in blue states. That is one of the funniest things I’ve heard all year.

And if last night’s results hold anywhere near these levels in 2026, Trump’s presidency will be prematurely ending, and he will be a lame duck two years early. I think Trump knows it. He melted down on Truth Social, said, “Kill the filibuster.” “California was rigged,” and somehow circled back to attacking SNAP recipients.

Karoline Leavitt, meanwhile, was asked why did Trump get an MRI, and her answer, it may not shock you to hear, does not exactly clear it up.

We are also going to look at the panic inside of MAGA, the denial, and what the blue wave means for 2026 because I believe the ‘26 election started last night, plus Marjorie Taylor Greene went on The View trying to convince everybody that she’s normal now. Did it work? We’re gonna have to take a look at it. Big night, big fallout.

We have also now raised more than $6,000 to feed hungry families. We are donating every new membership payment. If you are not yet a member on my website or not yet a Substack premium subscriber, every new payment, whether it’s monthly or yearly, for November, we’re donating to Feeding America, an extraordinary hunger charity.

We so far have collected more than $6,200 in donations from you all. This is going to fund more than 62,000 meals. So I hope you’ll participate. What a day.
