During that short time, she could make things legally as hard for TOS as possible, and the added benefit that all their "47" chotchkies are now junk.

Ha!

I'm one of those many "non-White, working-class voters" that they keep talking about now, and they turned away from me a long time ago. They left me, not the other way around. I fully understand why both RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard are no longer Democrats.

You Democrats are pushing me away and have been for years. You continue to push me away from you now. And you're doing this to a lot of people, as evidenced by this election's results.

That's why they--you--lost.

Want me back? Maybe you don't. If so, then prepare for more results like this last election, because there are a whole lot of CowboyT's out there just like me.

Your choice, folks.

OK Cowpoke T,
Lets here it. You keep sounding off but there ain't no meat on them bones to pick at.
What do you want from dems they haven't given black people already?

The supremes shot down Affirmative Action thanks to Trump appointees. The cut voting polls in black neighborhoods. Trump loves him some anti-black legislation.
And you think not voting dem is going to help you and your people. Ha, what a not funny joke.
C'mon, spit it out.

Figures, no comment

"Cowpoke", eh? Well, I know that we Black men do have a certain reputation for...um...prodigious length, but...that's pretty extraordinary. Thanks! :-)

The Harris campaign is trying to dig out of debt nearly a week after losing on Election Day, with much of the spending going toward digital media, advertising, polling and travel between states. According to reports, the campaign spent six figures building a set for Harris’ appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast with host Alex Cooper. A source familiar with the campaign confirmed to NewsNation that the campaign is $20 million in the hole after Nov. 5, even though the campaign took in at least $1 billion and reported $118 million in the bank as of Oct. 16.

Another big-ticket item was $15 million spent on event production that went toward celebrity performances, like the election eve rally with Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. Harris also reportedly paid $1 million to Harpo Productions, which is owned by Oprah Winfrey, who did a town hall with Harris back in September and appeared at that election eve rally in Philadelphia. “It takes remarkable incompetence to spend $1 billion in 90 days, lose market share, allow Donald Trump’s election and end up in debt,” a Democratic source told NewsNation.

In some ways, the Harris campaign is still fundraising despite the loss, sending emails asking for donations. But those donations are partially being redirected toward a vote recount effort. When you click donate, that link takes you to Act Blue, and the fine print suggests the vice president’s campaign may be launching a recount effort. The fine print reads that the first $41,300/$15,000 from a person/multicandidate committee PAC will be donated to the Democratic National Committee, but the next $3,300/$5,000 would be donated to a recount account.

Donald Trump made another round of historic gains with nonwhite voters, flipping Miami-Dade County red for the first time since 1988, and outright winning South Texas, a mainstay of the Democratic Party for more than a century. The gains extended to swing states, where Trump made solid gains among Puerto Ricans in Allentown, PA and Dominicans in Hazleton, PA.

Overall, the exit polls show him within 10 points among Hispanic voters, making historic gains among Asian voters, and winning almost a quarter of Black men. And he did this while continuing to build on his gains with the white working class—and also gaining pretty much everywhere else. He further eroded the Democrats’ nonwhite working class majority to the low 30s, down from 67 points when Barack Obama was running for re-election in 2012.

For the first time, the income curve was inverted: that is, the Republican nominee won more support from low-income than high-income voters. Previously that was only true among whites, but now it’s true for all voters. We are starting to see a united front of working class voters across racial lines that will go so far as to change decades of established voting patterns to vote against uncontrolled illegal immigration, lax attitudes towards crime, and liberal ideas about race and gender that make absolutely no difference to them in their day-to-day lives.

Emblematic of this shift was Starr County, Texas, a 97-percent Hispanic county I visited while reporting on the book. It went from Clinton +60 to Biden +5 to Trump +16. This was the most Democratic county in the country in 2012. If you thought 2016 and 2020 were a fluke, yesterday confirmed they were almost certainly not. The Realignment is here to stay.

Republicans are projected to keep control of the House of Representatives, handing the party total control of Washington with President-elect Trump back in the White House in January.

Decision Desk HQ projected the House had won its 218th seat Monday, the number needed for a majority in the lower chamber.

A recent study by Stanford researchers has uncovered that people are more likely to believe and share news that aligns with their political views, regardless of whether it’s true. This “concordance-over-truth” bias was slightly stronger among supporters of Donald Trump and persisted across various education levels and reasoning abilities. Interestingly, resistance to true but politically opposing news proved stronger than susceptibility to fake but agreeable news, suggesting that political alignment often overshadows the truth in how people process information.

The findings have been published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General.

The researchers conducted this study to understand the extent to which political biases shape public beliefs and sharing behavior, especially during critical times like presidential elections. Recognizing that informed citizens are essential for a functioning democracy, they aimed to clarify whether people prioritize political alignment over truthfulness when processing news.

For their study, the researchers recruited 2,180 participants using the online platform Lucid from January 31 to February 17, 2020, aiming for a U.S. Census-matched sample based on gender, age, race, ethnicity, income, education, and region. After excluding 371 participants who failed attention checks or used mobile devices, a final sample of 1,808 participants remained.
