It's being reported that more people have died in a single week in Sudan than in 2 years in Gaza but no one seems to really care.

Politics is such a fickle business. Monday, the stories were about the moribund, feckless Dems looking for answers. Wednesday? Republicans stunned and divided on the path forward.

Trump urges GOP to pass legislation to make them unbeatable; Vance says no more “infighting.” Others in the party have different views.

These elections really should be easy Republican wins since Trump said his approval ratings are at record highs, prices are down, he’s ended 29 wars, there is no inflation, nobody likes Democrats, and everything is better than it has ever been before.

It was your president and your team, @hughhewitt , not the Dems who kicked off mid-decade gerrymandering, which is dumb in the middle of a Dem cycle. You guys are about to lose a bunch of your newly gerrymandered seats and get hoisted by your own petards.
GOP legislatures have got to see the flare going up: Redistricting isn’t a choice to be debated but a necessary duty to be done —if they believe in center-right to conservative policy. CA and VA are going to out-gerrymander TX. Where red states can help keep the @HouseGOP

Never misses
Supposedly an unprecedented 2.2 million turnout with 60% above 45 years old. I am going to be an optimist and say @andrewcuomo is going to get the win. If he fails to win, it’s because @CurtisSliwa cares more about himself than NYC. Let’s never forget that. If Andrew wins, he

Here’s new @CBSNews Chief Bari Weiss in attendance at the @60Minutes interview yucking it up with Trump, who praised her on camera — no wonder @NorahODonnell seemed like she was in a hostage video. The boss was there to keep her from pushing back on the lies. #RIPCBS

After tonight, half the Dems are going to say “look at New York, we have to run more socialists!” and the other half are going to say “look at VA, we have to run more moderates!” and the answer is yes to both. The answer is a big-tent positivity that embraces both.

I hope every Republican takes this advice, because there is nothing in the numbers this justifies this take
Candidate quality matters. Tonight was a great lesson for the Republican Party: running squishy Rs who are lukewarm on Trump and MAGA, even in “purple” states, doesn’t work. Your candidate needs to be able to turn out ALL FACTIONS of our party, and they do that by being MAGA all

Really great work here from Bari Weiss. Seems totally on top of it
An exchange from Trump's "60 Minutes" interview about his family's crypto empire was not included in the extended version shared online. Trump sued and settled with the network over the program's editing of a 2024 Kamala Harris interview.
