Dems are well on their way toward criminalizing policy disagreements.
Democratic Party leaders, already getting drunk on power they don’t quite yet possess, have spent the days following the midterm blue wave gushing about how they will punish their enemies with lawfare. Rep. Robert Garcia has been one of the most outspoken Democrats, suggesting that his party’s newfound powers will be used to prosecute and persecute anyone willing to carry out, promote, or even accept policies he and his cohorts disagree with, writes @JarrettStepman. dailysignal.com/2026/11/09/d…

A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker. It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.
About 70% of publishing professionals are women. Because agents and editors tend to select books they personally relate to, an increasing number of male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelves—and a dearth of male ones. No wonder young men are no longer reading.

The Electoral College is in serious trouble thanks to the midterm blue wave that not only swept Democrats into power in Congress but also flipped many state governorships and legislatures. Several states are far more likely to sign on to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which stipulates that they will tie their Electoral College votes to the national popular vote during presidential elections, writes @JarrettStepman dailysignal.com/2026/11/05/d…

People know court packing is a bright line in the sand between us and permanent leftist tyranny. But a sleeper issue of near magnitude is the destruction of the electoral college by the longstanding Democratic effort to get states to sign onto a compact that pledges their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner. If this compact moves from deep blue state legislatures states into some of the swing and even red states Dems won this time around, it’s game over for Republicans in situations like 2016, where the popular vote splits from the Electoral College totals. Worse, it’ll encourage blue states to “run up the score” by throwing the doors open completely to eg illegals, homeless to legally vote. Every vote will run up the total in a meaningful way that will transform national elections, as opposed to just making California more blue. It’ll turbocharge voting fraud beyond anything we’ve seen so far. Republicans MUST hold the line against this. It is structural party suicide and a short trip to one-party rule. dailysignal.com/2026/11/05/d…

I’m very much for this. Unfortunately Hollywood won’t really go this path because showing various peoples as they were without Western influence would be a problem for the narratives they want to peddle. Just look at how “Woman King” turned the reality on its head. I think a story about a sympathetic tribal people fighting imperialism, but also being pro-slavery would be quite interesting. No way this happens.
I watched Apocalyptico for the first time in the plane and, although I have no idea how historically accurate it is because I have never read anything about Mayan history, I liked it a lot. I wish there were more movies about non-European history, a biopic on Shaka Zulu could be amazing, but I guess studios don’t like that because they’re seen as risky and they probably wouldn’t be able to help putting some woke bullshit in them.

We owe @HarmeetKDhillon an enormous debt of gratitude for the work she has done for the country. One of the brightest stars of this administration by far, she has been responsible for the stellar way this administration has enforced civil rights for ALL Americans, instead of just the left’s favored ethnic groups. Transformative work against anti-white discrimination and for true meritocracy and fair play. She will be sorely missed and I can only hope her successor can finish the job at the level she would have.
🚨 BREAKING: Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, has RESIGNED, per Fox She’ll reportedly be returning to California to work in her private practice. Great job transforming the Civil Rights division, @HarmeetKDhillon. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Why did Florida (largely) escape the blue wave and Texas didn't? 3 key reasons: 1. Florida had a property tax reduction measure on the ballot. Drove turnout & showed GOP serious about affordability. 40% of Texas voters said economy top issue. So did 37% of Florida voters. But HOW they voted differed a lot. Among Florida voters who considered economy top issue, 55% voted Republican. Among Texas voters who saw economy as top issue, only 40% voted Republican. 2. Cuban voters. As @giancarlosopo wrote, they still voted more Republican than other Hispanic blocs, although fewer supported Republicans than in 2024. 3. Florida had an actual socialist candidate. Exit polls showed Texas and Floridians had similar views about socialism, but again, actual voting patterns differed. 87% of those who viewed socialism unfavorably voted for Ashley Moody. Only 79% of those who viewed socialism unfavorably voted for Ken Paxton.

They’re overthrowing school choice in Texas. The ONE policy that is the best shot we have at reversing abysmal education outcomes. It’s literally a civil rights issue. All to reward the Democratic lobby that is the failed teachers’ union cabal.
Gina Hinojosa delivers the agenda for Public Education Texas: “On Day One, I will fire Mike Morath and we will work tirelessly to repair the damage of the Texas voucher scam - And end an era in which our schools are sold for parts:”

Important point.
None of these voter initiatives are going to matter if Democrats are given control of the courts. I will wager that the Washington state one is gone within five years.

Rep. Ro Khanna announced that “DEI is back!” after the big Dem victories Tuesday night. It’s not. Not yet. But they are laying the groundwork to bring DEI and cultural issues back with a vengeance in 2028 and beyond. My latest.
The Left’s DEI Revolution Isn’t Dead. It Was Waiting for Its Comeback. Leftists haven’t decided that their ideas about race or men in women’s sports went too far. Sure, they made some sheepish mea culpas following the 2024 election indicating that maybe there was a reason some people opposed them. But they mostly abandoned that tack and went into don’t ask, don’t tell mode to get past the unpopularity problem, writes @JarrettStepman. dailysignal.com/2026/11/04/t…

My initial take on last night. It's obvious Dems intend to engage in aggressive lawfare in what I'm sure they now assume will be united governement in 2028. They'll no doubt keep up the "affordability" message, but as far as congressional leadership, this is what we can expect.
Americans will soon learn what the Democrat agenda is really about, and it certainly isn’t about working with President Donald Trump to reduce the cost of living. On the contrary, they fully intend to use their victory Tuesday night to dial up lawfare to 11. They will work feverishly to ensure that they’ll have the chance to finally secure permanent power this time, writes @JarrettStepman. dailysignal.com/2026/11/04/l…

It's going to be interesting in coming days to see if Democrats can stay on message or about "affordability" or will just go back to full woke mode. I'm guessing the thirstier ones won't be able to restrain themselves.

The groundwork for this counterrevolution has been laid better by Trump II than at any point in my lifetime. You may not see immediate results from things like wrangling and shrinking the leftist bureaucracy, defunding the leftist NGO complex etc, but they matter. The fact that we have hundreds of thousands of scholarships to escape public school indoctrination rolling out matters. These are the things the left did, all while losing elections.
My only shred of hope to offer tonight: the left got wiped out this bad in the midterms multiple times and kept marching right through the institutions. So must we.
