We absolutely need to keep PBS &NPR running. The last major bulwarks against censorship.
Palantir Technologies is one of the most secretive and powerful companies in Silicon Valley.
The company develops software that can quickly analyze massive amounts of data, used by government agencies, the military and major corporations.
@AliRogin speaks with Michael Steinberger, author of the new book “The Philosopher in the Valley: Alex Karp, Palantir and the Rise of the Surveillance State,” for more.

Newsmax got shook when I smuggled the fact Florida Republicans just DEFUNDED THE POLICE during the Blue Tsunami.
Ron DeSantis put a massive property tax cut on the ballot. Republicans in the statehouse approved putting it on the ballot. It passed with 65% of the votes.
Florida’s Sheriffs associations came out against Amendment 3 because it would cut their funding.
Republicans led by Ron DeSantis took BILLIONS out of police budgets in Florida, the last remaining state of any size with Republicans in charge, despite a purple electorate.
The next time someone tries to fear monger that Democrats will defund the police just point them to Florida, Republicans and Ron DeSantis as the new leaders in that movement.
That’s why I smuggled the fact Florida just massively defunded the police, along with fire and other essential services this week.

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

MAJOR UPDATE: Georgia Democrats gain control of the Georgia State House based on projections from the Associated Press.
That means the State House will have a new Speaker.
On January 11th, Georgia will have a new Governor, new Lt. Governor (presiding over the State Senate) and new State House Speaker. All Democrats. #gapol

This is why everyone is REALLY scared of him. He is very smart ! It’s been so long since we’ve seen such directness and accuracy. We need more leaders like him in government.

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a periodic oscillation in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) across the equatorial Pacific Ocean. When SSTs across the equatorial Pacific are persistently above-average, this is known as an “El Niño” event.

NEW: A Florida Democrat narrowly trailing in a House race sued to bar Miami-Dade’s election chief from overseeing the recount after she called his GOP opponent “the winner, with or without a recount.”
He also alleges her son-in-law is his opponent’s lawyer.

This gets worse. The daughter of Miami-Dade’s supervisor of elections is representing Maria Elvira Salazar in the recount for congressional district 27th. Her attorney son-in-law is also representing Maria Elvira Salazar. Miami mafia stuff

"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politi…

Asked whether he would support Chuck Schumer as Senate Democratic leader if elected, Mississippi Democrat Scott Colom said: “I don’t like that our party is represented by two people that live in the same borough.”
Colom, who was referring to Brooklyn-based Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, is leading Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith by 49.1% to 48.8%, ~2,500 votes, with 98% of votes counted. The race has not yet been called.

Uno de los gráficos más clarificadores de la elección: los demócratas ganaron todos los distritos de la Cámara de Representantes que Harris ganó, todos los que Trump ganó en 2024 por entre 0 y 5 puntos, la mayoría de los que ganó por entre 5 y 10 puntos, la mitad de los que 1/

Agreed. Democrats now have the information that they *can* win statewide elections in Mississippi and South Carolina. They're only going to have a shot at doing it again by registering and engaging every Black voter they possibly can.

NYC has a moratorium on student facing AI for K through 8th grade.
Google says we are going to force you to break your own rules, you can't have search without AI.
NYC must call Google's bluff, kick out search, and refer the case to the AG and DA for illegal tying and abuse of monopoly power.
The idea that any other Ed Tech company could say "you only get the tool you want if you break your own policies" would be nonsense.
NYC schools’ standoff with Google over AI raises prospect of no search in class

I think there's a strong argument that 2028 will be similar to 2020 in that the 2026 Wave Babies will lose re-election.
But.
If Trump continues to follow a Bush 2 trajectory in approval, people've gotta embrace the possibility that 2028 is slightly worse for Rs than 2026, just like '08 was worse than '06.
What would 1976 have looked like if Nixon hadn't resigned? Probably 1932.
If Trump doesn't return to >38% approval and isn't removed from office so Vance can take the helm, then, to quote Total Recall...open your mind.

2026 is not only the largest Democratic wave in state legislatures since the 1974 Watergate Wave.
2026 is probably the 7th-largest Democratic net gain in state legislatures over the last 100 years.
It's likely going to beat Landslide Lyndon's 1964 win.
Democrats have around a 500-seat net gain currently in state legislatures nationwide.
229 seats remain to be called, but the final tally will likely be a ~575-seat net gain for Democrats in the 2026 state legislative elections.
In 1974, they gained 628.
