Ben Meiselas: In any other normal democracy, which we're not at this point, when you would have a shellacking in the election like this, the governing party would be wiped out. They'd be done. There would be forced resignations. You would have snap elections, and then you would basically have a whole new executive. And that's what the American people want. This regime needs to go away.
Impeachment needs to be on the table, of course, but beyond it. Impeachment's the least we can do.
We need to send these people to The Hague. These people are war criminals. Trump, Hegseth, Bessent, Lutnick, Rubio — they're war criminals. They need to go to war tribunals.

Congressman-Elect Fred Wellman: "When you decide to vote for the Big Billionaire Bill, 1.1 million children as of July had lost their SNAP benefits, a mere $6 a day of food benefits. Don't tell me you're pro-life and then starve children because of six damn dollars."

Bernie Sanders: It is not an accident that Elon Musk puts a whole lot of money into right-wing extremist parties in Germany and elsewhere, why Trump pays attention to right-wing parties in Latin America, and why this issue of oligarchy is not just an American issue.
You've got a small number of people with unbelievable wealth who are having enormous impact on the economic and political life of the entire world.

Ben Meiselas unloads on Donald Trump over his claim that the war in Iran isn't a real war: "What we're doing isn't even a real war to begin with, he says. We're not fighting in Iran. We're just chilling. It ain't really a fight. This is like a Netflix and chill in Hormuz."

CENTCOM just announced a new task force of 20 people based in Tampa. Their mission, 11,467 km from Iran: enforce a blockade of 5,894 km of Iranian land borders
CENTCOM also started a podcast
Eisenhower, Bradley, Mc Arthur, and Nimitz, must be all screaming from their graves

Congressman-Elect Fred Wellman One of the most heartwarming things I saw was a social media post right before the election. Someone had recommended that people vote for me. The guy replied later, saying, What’s really cool about this post is how many people are replying, saying, I met him. I saw him at a town hall. I caught him in my restaurant.
And that was the goal: to be ever-present. And I think it paid off for us in the end.

You will note that CENTCOM's map of Iran's borders does not label the countries on those borders.
Iran has about 3,600 miles of land border and 1,500 miles of sea border. 1,100 miles of the sea border is along the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman. Around 400 is on the Caspian Sea.
Of the 3,600 miles of land border, around 1,000 is shared with Iraq, another 500-600 is shared with Afghanistan, 500-600 is shared with Pakistan, 700 is shared with Turkmenistan.
Turkmenistan is notoriously neutral and will certainly not assist the United States. The Taliban runs Afghanistan so good luck with that. The Iraqi government may help us, but the pro-Iranian presence in Iraq will all but guarantee little is done and the Kurds aren't going to be in a hurry to support the US again. Pakistan will not be in a hurry to help us either because whenever the US tires of this conflict, Pakistan has to live next to Iran.
Task Force Iron Gate is worthless. Like everything this administration has done to date, it is intended to sound like something is being accomplished without actually doing anything. It is a waste of time, a waste of resources, and a waste of any good will this nation has built up in the region over the last 25 years (not that much remained to begin with).

Days after losing both chambers, Trump just ordered the DOJ to investigate Democrats for threatening to hold his regime accountable.
Oversight isn’t extortion. It’s the Constitution.
Siccing federal prosecutors on Congress to stop it? Add it to the list of impeachable offenses.

Jones: In my home state of Georgia, there have been 83 governors since its creation back in the 1700s. All 83 were white men until Tuesday.
Prior to this Tuesday, there had only been three elected Black governors in American history in over 200 years. And in one night, five were elected.

Triggered?
.@AGToddBlanche: You have @RepRobertGarcia — minutes after Stephen Miller was promoted to be the Chief of Staff to the President of the United States — telling him to 'lawyer up.' Well, I tell you what, Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It's me and the entire Department of Justice.

Ben Meiselas mocks Republicans for pushing Jim Jordan as their answer to the midterm wipeout:
“We need the heads to roll. Sir, who are you gonna bring in, sir?”
“Let's bring in the gym coach who covered up the pedos at the college."
“Let's bring the guy who is not a lawyer.”
“We're going to have a constitutional scholar right now who's actually going to be leading the Judiciary Committee in Jamie Raskin.”
“Someone who's actually qualified and competent and is a lawyer and a top lawyer and who knows what he's doing.”
