Gov. Ron DeSantis says the 2026 midterms are different from a typical election, warning voters that a swing toward Democrats would empower the DSA and its agenda: “Midterm elections are a little bit different than presidential elections. Usually, there’s a swing toward the party out of power, and part... of it is just the psychology of voters. I mean, think about it. President Trump came in, and there were four years of an open border. Within one week, he fixed it. He ended the problem. The problem is, voters aren’t now going to rush out and vote Republican because President Trump closed the border in his first week in office. It’s just not the way it goes. There’s a different set of issues that comes into play. And I think this is a different midterm than the normal ones because, yes, there are swings back and forth. But you don’t want to swing toward the DSA. If you do that, you’re swinging toward a group of people who are rejecting the founding principles of this country and are going to take our country in a direction that will be very difficult to recover from. So this is not your father’s or grandfather’s Democratic Party. This is a very militant party now, and they can’t be trusted with power.”show more

It is too risky to vote Democratic this time around, especially for Democrats who had their Party taken from them. Let Republicans help take your party back and let us get back to governing American style! @GovRonDeSantis

Worth noting: the "swing toward the opposition party" pattern he's describing has held in all but two of the last 90 years — a real historical pattern, not unique to this cycle's DSA framing.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says Texas won’t back down to the Democrats’ fearmongering about the new Texas map: “As President of the Texas Senate, we are going to power through this. Whatever it takes, we are going to get it done. There is nothing they can do to stop us. And I challenge them: come back and do the right thing. Don’t run and hide because you have lost touch with the voters. Their problem is not redistricting lines. The problem is they lost the minds of their voters, who are moving toward the Republican Party all over the country.

Tucker Carlson says he’s officially done supporting the Republican Party after 35 years. Listen closely to how he ends it. That’s not a man quitting. That’s a man counting. “There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party. Not going to support the Democratic Party. I don’t know what I’m going to do.” “How could I, or any American voters, support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States, that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?” “It’s not possible to vote for people like that. And I’m not going to.” “I’ve been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party. I mean, very consistent defender. But there’s no defending this because it’s immoral.” “And it’s exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation. And they’re not doing that.” “So, no, I’m out. And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out.”

Stephen A. Smith comes right out and says it: The Democrats now have to OWN Anthony Fauci and all of his scandals because they USED him “to enforce so much on the American people.” He said that “direct connection” to the Democratic Party may come back to bite them in the midterms. SMITH: “I don’t think it amounts to nothing. Here’s why.” “Because he’s Anthony Fauci, and because there’s such a direct connection to the Democratic Party, remember the Democratic Party rode that wave to get Trump out of office…” “Because again, Trump and the economy…according to them, everything was looking a little bit decent and then the virus, the pandemic arrived.” “And all of a sudden everything went haywire and everything went downhill, and they rode that momentum…” “But the point is, is that Democrats rode that wave. And so when you look at Anthony Fauci now, the bottom line is they don’t get to separate themselves from him now.” “They don’t get to pull that off.” “If there’s any suspicion that can be elevated in his direction, that gets attached to the Democratic Party because you utilized him, basically, to enforce so much upon the American people at that particular moment in time.” “And folks are not going to forget that come midterm!” “They’re not going to forget it.”

Jeffries: We’re urging everyone to vote yes to stop the MAGA power grab. The voters of Virginia have an opportunity to ensure that there’s a fair national congressional map. We believe that it’s the voters of Virginia and the people of this country who should decide which party is in the majority in the aftermath of the midterm elections—not Donald Trump and his extreme MAGA sycophants in state legislative bodies across the country, who were ordered by Donald Trump to gerrymander the national congressional map to rig the midterm elections. This effort has failed because Democrats haven’t stepped back. We fought back.

The picture of the map of what it’s going to look like. There’s going to be no black congress people from the South.” “You think you can cut off the part of the country that has the most African Americans in it, and that map is completely red… and you think people are just going to take that lying down.” Bret Stephens: “What I think you’re actually going to have is you’re going to have black representation, but a lot more of it is going to be Republican.”

There’s a lot of people look at this —” Karoline Leavitt Karoline Leavitt: “Because it was too big to rig.” Haake: “— well, I think a lot of people look at this and wonder —” Leavitt: “There was a massive amount of votes for this President. That’s why he’s in the Oval Office right now.” Haake: “No one disputes that. There were a significant amount of votes for Joe Biden, who won in 2020. I mean, think the question is, why is the President unable to let this go?” Leavitt: “Well, first of all, Garrett, I think part of the problem is that the media has refused to acknowledge that tens of millions of Americans across the country share the concerns of this President about the sanctity of our elections and your premise of your question, you’re jumping ahead to a conclusion in this speech before even hearing it yourself. I think that everyone should tune in tonight, including the people in this room, and you should report on the President’s speech and the findings that he is going to reveal in this speech with a little bit of honesty and a little bit of integrity, because it does — it will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the President tonight and everything he is saying will be backed by — by — by facts and by evidence that will be provided this evening. And again, Garrett, again, I think all Americans, Democrat or Republican, should agree that we are the greatest country in the history of the world. We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world, and what the President will be speaking about tonight will show you that perhaps that is not the case, and we need to make some adjustments moving forward, including the SAVE America Act, as Rachael pointed out, is a key legislative priority for this President on Capitol Hill, and he wants to see all senators and members of Congress voting in favor of the SAVE America Act, because it’s crucially important as we move forward.”

Nobody asked him to resign. He was forced to resign by the youth of this country and our compliments to the youth of this country... PM has to apologize. The way there was a crackdown on students. The way the prime minister stayed silent for so many days. The home minister ordered this kind of a crackdown because without the home minister ordering it, it is not possible... The youth of this country will ensure that the BJP will be willing to do everything that they want..." On former CM Siddaramaiah's "I will not contest in the 2028 assembly elections" tweet, he says, "That would be a huge loss for not just the party but also for the country and the state because leaders like Siddaramaiah are very rare.

AOC: But there are a lot of folks who talk about change in leadership that don't necessarily articulate what their direction is. And so I would say that it's important we talk pretty specifically about the kind of changes that we want, because there are a lot of people in this country, and there are a lot of forces and lobbyists that want the Democratic party to become even more pro-corporate than it is. And so when I talk about change, I talk about orienting the Democratic party to be unabashedly working class and to orient itself around working class Americans

Haley Voters for Harris Director Craig Snyder: There actually is a little bit of data that’s not anecdotal. Blueprint did a survey that was released last week, and it showed that something like 40% to 45% of the Haley voters are likely to “go home,” in other words, vote for Donald Trump because their Republican identity ends up sort of winning the day. But that means a majority, 55% or so, are at a minimum open to voting for Vice President Harris. It looks like something like a third of the Haley voters have already decided to vote for the Vice President, like myself, which means that there’s something like 20% to 25% left that can be influenced. And that’s what we’re doing—we’re giving them messengers who are other Haley voters, other Republicans who’ve made this decision, who are talking about why they’ve made the decision. And we think we’re going to get the lion’s share of that remaining group of people over the hump. So, let’s just say that it ends up being that something like half of the Haley voters vote for Vice President Harris. That is close to, and in some cases greater than, the margin in these swing states. So this could be a very, very important, if not decisive, group of votes.

OUTSTANDING answer from Secretary Marco Rubio on the Iranian regime vs. the Iranian people: “[T]his regime is not — guys, I know I’ve said this — I think I said this in my hearing before the Senate when I got confirmed, I don’t know of any country in the world where there’s a bigger difference between the people and the people who run the country, okay? This country is run by radical Shia clerics, and that’s not what Iran and the Iranian people are. Now, they may be Shia, but they’re not radicals and they’re not clerics. And they just want a normal life and a regular life. And, in many ways, a very cosmopolitan country with a with an incredible history, incredible history, an incredible legacy and the like. So, there’s this huge divide between the people of Iran whom we sympathize with and who the President sympathize with, because they’re the ones suffering. Look, the world is a victim of Iran, okay? The world is a victim of Iran because they’re terrorists, because of what they’re doing now on the Straits. But the people of Iran are daily victims of the regime. And the president has deep sympathy for what they’re going through. And I think he’s just expressing that sympathy and that frustration that they don’t have the ability to do more to get rid of this regime that has crushed this country and isolated it from the world, which is a country that shouldn’t be isolated from the world because its people are phenomenal.”

For independent-thinkers like myself, there is no home in the Democrat Party. However, there is a home for us in the Republican Party. The Republican Party of warmongering elite Dick Cheney is in the past. Trump’s GOP is a big open tent party of the people, equality, commonsense, and the party that is led by a President who has the courage and strength to fight for peace. Tonight I stood with President Trump and announced I am joining the Republican Party. President Trump is our best and only hope in this election to lead our country toward a future where every one of us can live in a truly free, peaceful, and prosperous nation. Now is the time for us to stand together, vote for Trump and save our country.

AOC: Mr. Bezos’s newspaper was not happy that I discussed abuses of market power and scale. And I think there are quite a lot of billionaires—I mean, there aren’t a lot of billionaires in an absolute sense, but the proportion of billionaires upset with my comments is quite high. And I think that, to a working person and to working people, “earn” means something: the calluses on your hands, the aches in your joints, the way that we earn our way through school, through our first job. And I think that we are in an emperor-with-no-clothes moment when it comes to the American economy and our democracy. The Virginia redistricting maps were just overturned this morning by judges that are largely financed by a movement of billionaires. And American inequality is at an absolute peak. We have to ask ourselves if this is how we want to live as a society—if we want 3,400 people to be prioritized over well more than 300 million. And when we question the legitimacy of that power structure, the people at the top are going to be very mad. And the little hobby newspapers that they’ve bought—which they love to say are making the quality of everything better. Jeff Bezos purchased the The Washington Post. He laid off some of the highly qualified journalists that made it an American institution so that he could turn it into a mouthpiece that launders his personal agenda and opinions. And he is using it because, for a lot of folks, it’s not enough to be powerful—they have to be loved. And he then uses this mouthpiece to take aim at politicians who want to question the deeply unequal and unjust distribution of power in America. They want to continue to undercut, threaten, and punish those who say: democracy belongs at the ballot box—economic power, political power—and that power should belong to the people of this country, not the very few.

Culture is genetic because behavior is genetic. This beaver never saw a dam in its life. No beavers or anything else ever taught it to build a dam. It wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Many beavers together build a big dam. That is beaver culture. Humans are not different. Nothing is different. This is what life is. This is how life works. Your body is your mind. A caterpillar wants to build a chrysalis. A bee wants to build a hive. A lion wants to build a pride. You are not special. You are not above your nature. you are INSIDE of it. The thoughts that we think are genetic thoughts. The crimes we commit are genetic crimes. The art we create is genetic art. Just like this beaver, you can give the animal different sticks and it will build a different dam, but it will always build a dam. And you can give humans different "education," but the human will always use it to do what its genes tell it to do. This is the first big answer that you need. This is the biggest piece of the puzzle. This is how to understand people 90% of the way. You just... notice what they do, and get out of the way, and watch them do it. And if they need sticks, you give them sticks. And if you don't like what they do, you have to get away from them. You cannot train dam-building into them or out of them any more than you can with a beaver. A beaver wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Whatever you see people build, that's what they wanted to build from the sticks they got in the river they were in. Stop pretending you can change it.

Culture is genetic because behavior is genetic. This beaver never saw a dam in its life. No beavers or anything else ever taught it to build a dam. It wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Many beavers together build a big dam. That is beaver culture. Humans are not different. Nothing is different. This is what life is. This is how life works. Your body is your mind. A caterpillar wants to build a chrysalis. A bee wants to build a hive. A lion wants to build a pride. You are not special. You are not above your nature. you are INSIDE of it. The thoughts that we think are genetic thoughts. The crimes we commit are genetic crimes. The art we create is genetic art.

.Jason Rantz on Seattle Red on Graham Platner... "Number one, this is a guy who the Democratic base chose before the primary season even took place, really took place, and there was actually a vote. So, there was plenty of time to go with someone who doesn't have a Nazi tattoo. To your point, like, they're making a choice. I think if this was someone with a KKK tattoo, the Democratic Party would not be embracing it the same way. This is a different Democratic Party and its relationship to Jews and Israel. It just is, and I think that they're willing to give up certain kinds of morals that they used to hold, all because they've been deeply broken by the threat of Donald Trump, in their eyes. This is not someone who's just deeply flawed. He has a Nazi tattoo. He has a Nazi tattoo. And I think that that goes far beyond someone who is simply flawed. None of this started during Donald Trump either. I think that when it comes to the sexting and whatnot, I don't think people care anymore. I think they should. But that's not a Trump thing. I seem to recall a certain President who was in the Oval Office had sex with an intern" "But Eric Swalwell is a good example of this. The story that came out was everyone knew this was the quiet secret everyone knew, so they allowed it to continue for a very long time, regardless of his potential victims. I think that's the real issue here. It is just beyond bizarre that the Democrats are still defending him."
