That press conference was choreographed for an audience of one and he sits in Moscow. Once, we fought tyrants. Today Trump and Vance are bending America’s knee. And that weakens us.

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

MurdochLand is less than supportive of Trump's tariffs: "The Dumbest Trade War in History."

Pell Grants. They're coming for Pell Grants.

So in general I don't love to react to every appointment and proposal and comment--I think it can get overwhelming and doesn't really serve us well as journalists or our readers, but... (1/5)

"The now-president-elect, according to that NBC survey, posted his biggest margin of 53-27% among voters who don’t follow any news. Trump’s win was a triumph of the ill-informed... Donald Trump was returned to power by the most badly informed electorate in modern American history."

It's amusing that people voted for Trump because they were upset about rising prices. Yet, now they're going to get higher prices from tariffs. www.cnbc.com/2024/11/06/t...

I expect racists to feel even more emboldened now after this election.

This is insane. www.latintimes.com/did-joe-bide...

My prediction for the next 4 years. - More tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. - More tariffs. - Trump's and Miller's massive deportation plan that leads to American citizens being deported for being Hispanic. (Some of these will be Trump supporters)

Winning the House might be the only good story tonight. We'll see how much the Supreme Court allows Trump to get away with.

Tonight, for Ukraine, may be catastrophic.

I'm sure we'll be getting a lot of buyer's remorse stories from the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party

I'm a bit annoyed seeing all the "wait until morning" and "stop doom scrolling" comments on BlueSky. At least be realistic about the election results.

I'm seeing a lot of people still trying to be optimistic about Harris' chances. I wish I could be. Harris is under performing Biden in a lot of counties, across the country.

A reminder of what the Trump years were like.

Feels accurate.

North Carolina looking less and less promising for Harris. She'll need to really run up the vote in Charlotte, Raleigh and Durham.

she can absolutely still win via the blue wall but just for fucking once I would like to be pleasantly surprised by results with Trump on the ballot and once again it's worse than expected and I am fucking tired of it

Harris currently under performing Biden in Anson County, NC. Harris with only 49.1% with 86.3% in. Biden won this county 51.8%.

There's more good news out of North Carolina. Harris has 57.6 in Chatham County with 89.8% in. Biden only got 55.2%.
