Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to starve 42 million Americans before an election day.

You'd think not doing that would be a no brainer, but 😆

I wonder how many of them are MAGA supporters and whether they're beginning to wake up now from whatever spell he has them all under. MTG's dissent was an eye-opener. His house of cards is due to come crashing down eventually...hopefully sooner than later.

Sadly, too many. Forty-eight million Americans face food insecurity, and I think that number is rising fast. Musk told America before the election that there would be pain before the new policies are implemented, but it got very little media attention. And Democrats did not address it; they just mocked him for being the wealthiest man in the world. I am watching everything they promised play out in real time. Heartbreaking all of it, and to see the poor job the media does in keeping us informed. Thank goodness we have Mary.

The American people are tired of being shit on by Donald and his MAGA Republicans. They see that Donald and his bunch are trying to steal all the money that they can and keep Donald out of prison. He should have been in prison long before now.

It was the American people that won WWII and the American people will win this war also.

Sorry but Netanyahu didn't start the war. Hamas invaded Israel and slaughtered over 1200 men, women, children and babies and then took over 300 hostages - that started the war. The Israeli response was 100% justified and the world turned its back on Israel. Do I like everything Netanyahu did, of course not, but blame him for the bad stuff he did do, don't make up BS and lies about what happened and let the Israeli people decide his fate.

Absolutely agree! And as far as Putin goes, his reason for invading Ukraine was to annex Ukraine. Nothing to do with staying out of prison.

Yes, you are correct. But that charge happened AFTER the invasion! Thanks for making me curious though.

What about all the Palestine people that were held and some were beaten to death, in fact, for doing nothing but crossing the border? Israel held over, 15000 Palestinians for years, for petty crimes that the Israelis have been doing for years.

Netanyahu Cohorted With Hamas/Funded Hamas For The Horrific Terror That Unfolded💔 Facilitating the on-going of wars is Netanyahu's ONLY routes to his freedoms. He's just another UN⚖️LAWFUL⚠️🍊dRUMPF👑⚠️thug🚨

I agree that Netanyahu has likely dragged on the war so he won't have to face other legal issues at home, but if you're going to say he funded Hamas you should include a link to the documentation that supports your claim.

Giving credit where it's due, the ONLY thing that Benedict Donald has accomplished is pissing people off and last night was just the beginning. The Dems need to ride this momentum into next year's mid-terms and "clean House." Mike Johnson's days of house speaker should be numbered.

Ms. Trump, I think the world of you! I enjoy your posts, your intelligence, and your insights. However, I'd like to say one thing to you and I hope I'm not being upsetting considering you're obviously pleased as we all are with the outcome last night. There's an old saying: "Don't count your chickens before they hatch!"and we have a saying in the military: "Keep your eye on the target!"

Taken together, they form a mandate! What was accomplished last night went a long way to helping heal some of the huge wounds that have occurred. But that's not the ultimate objective, the target! The target is nullifying and neutralizing this GOP administration and particularly Donald Trump!

We still have a tremendous amount of work to do between now and next year's election, if there is one! I am still of the opinion that he will do anything and I do mean anything to cancel it.

So, a short victory lap, and then the long slog until next year's pivotal election day. Let's not get too pleased with ourselves. The real battle is 12 months away!

Down here in Alabama the heart of maga trump country I was just taking to people at a local tire shop. What caught my attention was everyone was bashing Trump. I was very surprised and the reason was the economy and taking SNAP out of children's mouths. 8 months ago trucks had Trump flags flying. It's about time

That is heartening! I know that once people actually UNDERSTAND what Trump is doing, and FEEL what Trump is doing, they will reject him.

Yesterday’s Message: This is OUR Country!

‘‘The people have spoken. The tantrum is over. The adults are home again, and they brought ballots.’’

America just sent out a certified letter marked Return to Sender: Authoritarianism Not Accepted. The voters have spoken, and their message was less a polite disagreement and more a collective “absolutely not.” The red wave turned out to be a puddle of self-pity and cheap hairspray.

You should try watching the news, Authoritarianism can be found in literally every news report, every sentence and every word spoken by the Orange Buffoon and his criminal cronies. Just listen to one comment by any of them, any day and you'll find Authoritarianism! Happy Hunting!

You correctly write about the "toxic combination of cruelty, incompetence, greed, and authoritarianism that has wholly taken over the Republican Party". All very true, but you left out the equally important element of "corruption".

Telling 42 million Americans they could just eat cake, allowing insurance premiums to skyrocket for millions who depend on the ACA, tearing down the East Wing of the People's House with no plan or Congressional approval to build a ballroom/bunker, expecting millions of federal workers to work without pay w/no guarantee of ever getting back pay, remodeling the Lincoln bathroom to look like another tasteless, Donald White House disaster, and last but not least, the Gatsby/Caligula extravaganza at Mar-a-Bordello on Halloween, all contributed to the Blue Rush to the polls for the 2025 Election. Thank you, Mary, for helping to keep us keeping on,

No one wants his type of government. No one wants to hear his whinging voice anymore. No one wants to hear his lies anymore. We are all fed up to our eyeballs with him and his Miller-Nazi bedfellows. We are sick of you, Donald trump, you should never had been put into office, but maybe we all had to see how bad it could get so we can appreciate what we would lose forever with nazis like him ruining our grand country.

John Lennon's "Power to the People" has been in my head all morning. Appropriately so, I might add. As the results came in last night I used one other phrase from my youth towards Donnie, "In your face!"
