Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.

Trump's mandate? It's very shallow. Trump's now under 50% in the popular vote. His margin ranks 44 of 51 since 1824.

Weak coattails: 4 Dems won for Senate in states Trump won. (It was 0 in 2016 & 2020.)

//The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.

Trump turning his cabinet into a freak show this time was predictable. He can’t run again, so in his mind he has nothing to gain from his administration being good or bad for the American people, including his voters. Settle scores, loot, do favors, put on a show for his image.

Update: His health guy doesn't believe in medical science. His law guy is a sex trafficker. His intelligence gal is a Russian asset. You're all caught up.

There it is. Gabbard obliterates any national security credibility gained with the nominations of Waltz & Rubio. Gabbard's only constituencies are in Damascus & Moscow, and apparently that's an important box for Trump to check. Time to see if the GOP is dead or just mostly dead. https://t.co/HyY0CqkC56

This is perhaps the hardest part about today: realizing that our fellow Americans saw all of that; watched all of that; listened to all of that, and still said, “Yes, that’s what we want.” That’s who we are. https://t.co/FAWqPet9GI

Ann and I extend congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump and to Vice President-elect J.D. Vance. Congratulations, as well, to the new members of the U.S. Senate and House. The people have spoken. It is now up to these leaders to thoughtfully chart the course ahead, as it…
