David - A Republican wipe-out in 2026 couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of evil-doers. (On another note, I love your show and your enthusiasm and great way of breaking everything down so all that's going on it crystal clear to us. As Sam Cooke used to sing, "A Change Gonna Come.") All the best to you.
Yeah, but what are you going to replace it with? Another flavour (note, not flavor) of corporatism with the Dems owned by Big Business? What kind of change is that????? You lot need a fucking big dose of democratic socialism!
My thinking exactly. I was positive just the issue of abortion was a shoe in for Dems. So much for that. Dems celebrating Mandani just tells the world, Dems never learn anything. They will probably dust off Harris for a rerun and the platform would be open borders and transgenders in womens sports. Dems prefer to lose with honor rather than confront hard issues to win the other side.
Right now most of us would take anyone other than Trump. However the world is a dangerous place and our biggest enemy is the national debt. Dems are incapable of dealing with that. They thrive on spending. Also returning to Biden's teaspoon help to Ukraine is loser.
I am not a Republican, nor a Dem. Both parties are headed in the wrong direction. I would like to see term and age limits for better ideas and solutions. The shutdown of the government is proof positive than the current group is worthless and need to be sent home. Neither party should be able to hold the other party hostage resulting in a govt shurdown and no pay.
The US needs a Democrat super majority. It also needs to lose the corpo shackles. The US needs the centuries old Constitution ripping up and a modern, European-style constitution being enacted in its place. Trump... maybe not all disastrous🤣 Seriously 'America', you need a reset.
I know you think you are the greatest nation on Earth, God's chosen people who win at everything and can do no wrong but... from the outside your country is just the biggest pile of shit in the democratic world (if indeed you are in the democratic world - gerrymandering and Electoral College and so on from the C19th). Just watch some videos of 'Americans' who have moved abroad. 'Free' healthcare, habitations you can walk around, food that isn't toxic, real education, etc. and so on. You really, really, really need to overthrow the power of the corporations that don't give you holidays (WEEKS of holidays in Europe) or employment rights such as months and weeks of maternity and paternity leave and the opportunity to call in sick without fear of losing your job. Aye aye aye marmalado!. There's so much more to life than working to live!
Europe is able to be a social paradise because the US has been guarding your asses since WWII at our expense. Russia is using Ukraine as a training exercise for the main event to overthrow Europe. And what is Europe doing? twiddling their collective thumbs with minimal support just to keep Ukraine from losing. Europe is still hedging its bets with Russia by not touching the Russian assets in banks.
500 million Eurpeans are being guarded by 330 million Americans. That is not fair. The GDP of Europe eclipses that of Russia. So wake up Europe. Russians will not be as generous as the USA.
Every lie peeled back. Every vote cast in spite of fear. That’s how nations shed their skin and remember what they’re made of.
Authoritarians scream about integrity because they’ve already lost their own. The rest of us just keep showing up, one ballot, one truth, one act of courage at a time.
You 'Americans' need to grow up and join the real world. You don't get rid of fascism by pansying around with placards in a carnival. Look at Georgia (the country). Months of mass demonstrations. Fascists play HARD. They kill. Be prepared to fight for your rights to the death if need be because once they're gone, THEY ARE GONE.
HORRIFIC HYPOTHETICAL: What if Rs realise, rightly, that they should be scared? THEY are the ones "filibustering". THEY are fully enjoying and taking advantage of the "government" being closed. The shutdown is benefiting the Rs, so why should they EVER allow the government to open again?
They are preparing for a war against Venezuela and who knows how many other countries. Only Congress can declare war? They might not get the votes to declare war, so don't let Congress open again.
Only Congress can impose tariffs? Well the Rs are imposing tariffs without Congress, so why open Congress again?
ICE and Federal Reservists are grossly and cruelly overstepping their mandates? If Congress re-opens he might lose his private police forces, so why allow Congress to re-open?
Allocation of budgets can only be done and undone by Congress? They are getting away with horrendous re-allocations so why let Congress open again only to get their re-allocations reversed?
You see where I am going with this ... From out here in another country it appears that Rs control the so-called filibuster. Rs are benefiting humongously from ensuring that Congress does not open again. Everything they are doing is illegal? Only by the standards of moral, ethical, lawful people--they ignore or dismiss ethics, morals, laws. I just can't see why they would ever stop the filibuster (which, contrary to how they present it, IS controlled by them), thereby allowing Congress to re-open and to end their control over their unlawful immoral acts and, ultimately, allowing an election in 2026.
"Just" a hypothetical, but from here it looks like they only have everything to lose if they were to allow the former government to open and replace them with a democracy.
Sorry! But please feel very free to tell me WHY I am WRONG ...
Democracy is not a straight line. Many other countries give their leaders two terms. One in office and the next in jail. We are testing the limits of insanity. Not sure which side will be the winner. Both our parties are been in power for too long and are empowered by money money money. We the people got lost along the line.
I don't quite get the bit about "democracy" and a "straight line", but that doesn't matter. I agree with the rest of your comments. Kind of puts one in mind of the saying that "money is the root of all evil", even though I know that there are a great many other sources of evil.
I think that "you the people" got lost right from the start of your experiment in democracy. Through no fault of your own, I hasten to add! I am referring, here, to the Electoral College that your founding fathers set up. The reason that they set this up was that they did not trust the actual electorate to make informed choices about something as important as the presidency of your country. So, in effect, you elect people to vote on your behalf. Leaving aside the fact that this procedure is illogical, it sure as heck is insulting. None of this makes any sense to me, but some very powerful people have benefited from this procedure so it became sacrosanct.
But speaking of the sacrosanct, I also have problems understanding your ancient Constitution and the myriad, nay plethora of, Amendments. They seem to be toted out when "convenient" rather than being based on principles underlying them. Some of the "rights" described or outlined in these myriad Amendments seem to be deliberately "misunderstood" as to their intentions: the most obvious examples would be the "right to bear arms" and the one concerning hate speech as a "right" (how easily "free speech" gets twisted); even deliberate DISinformation might, I guess, fall under this "right"?
But it is late at night and I am in physical pain, so perhaps I have gone off on an irrelevant tangent ...
Always enjoy your well balanced comments. The "straight line" means progress is not perfect. It has many detours. It sometimes means backward. USA government has been around for 250 years. By now you would think we would have worked the kinks out. We should never shut down the government and not pay its employees. Also we have not had a balanced budget in many years. And our national debt is on steroids. We are no longer the richest country, we are also the poorist. Our saving grace is the stock market and the printing presses.
The most shocking backward was our recent Supreme Court ruling that abortion is a states rights issue. That somehow women in one state are not equal to women in another state. So depending on what state you are in you may or may not have and abortion. That means 10 year old girls that are raped need to carry the baby to term. Further, the rapist can then declare parental "rights" and prevent the abortion.
Thank you, Russ. I now understand what you meant by the straight line.
Yes, I agree with you regarding the recent backward decisions allocating abortion decisions to the whims of individual States. It is INHUMANE. The very thought of the poor little girl you describe, victim of rape, having to bring a foetus to term is just horrific. How to explain to this child the pain that she feels is ripping her apart?! How to deal with a child becoming a mummy at 10?! "We the people ..." "EXCEPT FOR YOU, DEAR LITTLE ONE ... oh, and except for you and you and you and you and you!"
How can they live with the cruelty that they have inflicted on so many? By "they" I don't mean only the corrupted Supreme Court. And not just the MAGAts. I mean every single Republican.
Those immoral people have condoned blowing up, BLOWING UP! innocent fishers, ripping families apart by disappearing daddy or adolescent daughter en route to corner store, starving little kiddies, seniors, the disabled, veterans. They can do that and live with themselves because those atrocities are all being done to "The Other" and really, when you get down to it, "The Others" are really sub-human, right? We don't really have to apply the same rules and laws and morals to situations involving "The Other". If your baby daughter was raped, well it was her fault after all, eh? Clearly she was being seductive and poor Uncle Ernie just couldn't help himself and he is looking forward to being a daddy. But if THEIR baby daughter was the one raped and pregnant? Well, illegal abortions can still be bought and that is okay because They are above the law and, because you are superior to "The Other", you have the money to pay for the abortion.
NO ONE is equal before the law anymore.
Apologies for the rant. Your example of the baby rape victim hit hard.
Thank you for listening. If I have misunderstood the situations, I will appreciate being corrected.
Absolutely on the money, much better said that I could. Selective morality and hypocrisy is a fatal disease in politics. Our Republican party has wrapped itself in sanctimonious Christianity. It applies to others not them. The ultimate joke. They want to post the 10 commandments in every school classroom. Yet we have a president who has violated most of them.
I do not understand the Republican mindset. If they really value babies, it would stand to reason they should champion affordable universal healthcare. Not a chance, costs too much. Giving it to the poor means less of it for them/
They want to come down hard on crime. The biggest factor in crime is poverty. Big factor in poverty is too many unwanted, fatherless children who grow up with no discipline. With that it would stand to reason women should not be forced to bear children they do not want. So Republican thinking is to deny abortion as a form of punishment to women for their wayward ways. Look at the middle east, see how they make their women dress. Repubs treat women the same here.
Thanks David, excellent breakdown of Tuesday's results. The margin in Virginia and the Georgia PSC flips were genuinely stunning, and your point about the 2026 math is spot on.
A few structural challenges worth watching as we head into the midterms:
Turnout composition: Tuesday's wins came with 30% of presidential-year turnout in Georgia, heavy municipal election overlap boosting urban numbers. The 2026 electorate will look different, Democrats need to crack the code on maintaining this intensity when there's no governor's race to anchor turnout in key states.
Mississippi's redistricting caveat: Those state legislature gains came from court-ordered maps creating majority-Black districts. We won on structure, not persuasion. The question is whether similar Voting Rights Act victories can be replicated elsewhere before 2026.
Shutdown memory problem: If Republicans end the shutdown in the next 2-3 weeks (increasingly likely given the pressure), voter memory of SNAP cuts may fade by November 2026.
The California-Texas neutralization: Prop 50 gives us 5 seats, but Texas's gerrymander takes 5. We're playing defense to stay even, not offense to gain ground. The House math still requires flipping seats in fundamentally red-shifted districts.
The enthusiasm is real. The opportunity is real. But 2026 success requires converting this energy into mobilization into sustained infrastructure, The game is set

Cannot be a member. And the ocean is to great to swim,now i am 82. I have a plan to make the Democrat party get many more members. Will you mail with me, so I can explain you ?
Winning the House does not stop rubber stamping of a Trump appointments; need to win Senate to do that. Is Senate in play? I say yes. Maine, NC, two of Iowa, Ohio, Texas, Alaska … cannot gerrymander Senate in blue wave.
If the Democrats take over in 2026, hopefully, and put an end to this Chaos, do you think there will be a repeat of Jan.9 insurrection, and will the Dems be ready for it and protective measures in place?
Not a Trumper. Keep in mind Dems lost not just because of apathy, but Repubs hit a nerve with the open borders invasion. Our cities are melting down with homeless, crime and drugs. Dems have done little to fix that. Our national debt is on the abyss and Dems are oblivious to it. So exactly what do the Dems bring to the table that will make our country any better. Not saying Repubs are any better. Voters want change.
But keep in mind that Biden was ready to sign a MAGA friendly border security bill. Trump ordered Mikie to kill the bill, and he meekly obeyed. Where would the country be now if Congress had balls of steel instead of sucking, well you know what.
Point well taken. Repubs in congress supposed to be there to rep their state. Instead they just work for Trump. Be interesting to see how he subdued all of them to cult like followers. Remember Jim Jones Guyana followers tried the same trick and the kool aid killed them.
Unfortunately Biden let the migration get to the point of no return. Giving away USA on the cheap also allowed coyotes and druggers to profit. Remember seeing the endless lines of immigrants coming thru Mexico. I do not like much about Trump, but on this I support the intent, not the way it is being implemented.
Do not like ICE tactics with face coverings and thug tactics. Particularly detest ICE being in hallways of Fed courts picking off immigrants who were in court for their status hearings.

No they will just spend all their time with investigations and grandstanding.
Honestly, from the outside, it looks like taking your democracy away from you has been as easy as taking candy from a child. Organise!
Sometimes you have to lose what you have to appreciate what you had. Hopefully the ship can be turned around and not sunk in the process.
It would be Great to see a blue tsunami that wipes MAGA off the map, metaphorically speaking.

Thank you, David. I'm sure Trump is looking for a way to rig the elections-again, And this time I don't think Putin or Musk will help him.
