Can't wait for the GOP's new midterm numbers to start reflecting Trump's disastrous Iran surrender deal. I'm watching for support numbers to start reporting in the 20s. Based on the looming collapse of GOP turnout, no seat is safe if Dem's have somebody running with a pulse.

🔥 Russia thought striking power grids would break Ukraine. Instead, Ukraine cut the fuel lines keeping Moscow alive.
Refineries are burning, and regional loyalty is unraveling.
👉 Putin cannot govern an empire running out of gas, money, and time.

Трампа освистали в Луизиане - так освистали, что он не слышал собственного голоса. И это - начало грандиозного падения кремлевского агента. Его ненавидят. Его не хотят видеть и слушать. А тут еще сдох его гэбэшный куратор Дарчиев. Внезапно сдох.
Январь близок.
When we get 67 Senators, and we will, every single one of these overtly dishonest judicial nominees should be removed for deceiving Congress. It's a bad act and that's all that Art III requires to remove a judge. Keep a list. Impeach and remove an masse.
JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term?
Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…”
Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term.
Silence.
Every single one of them refused to say it.
Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face.
Never stop connecting the dots.

God morgon. Tidigt i morse körde en överste i det ryska flygvapnet ut på motorvägen i södra Petersburg när en bomb detonerade. Översten som troligen var bombflygspilot och styrman i den ryska 6:e luftarmén och som deltagit i bombning av barnsjukhuset Ochmatdyt och andra civila mål i Ukraina likviderades på fläcken av explosionen från bomben som antagligen var fäst undertill på bilen.

💥Attention: Netanyahu did not deny giving anomalous orders (apparently to the Mossad) and now confirms Eisenkot will receive a security briefing today, with PM's military attaché. Lieberman's warnings & Eisenkot's alarm seem aimed at scuttling an immediate Netanyahu scheme.
💥An *immediate* reaction from Netanyahu, does not deny having given unknown orders: "Eisenkot’s letter—publicly discussing sensitive security matters—is an irresponsible move.
It is a transparent attempt to politicize Israel’s national security issues.
Instead of attempting to form a government with supporters of terrorism, PM Netanyahu once again calls upon Gadi Eisenkot to join a government that is fighting against terrorism."

A Vet Day and Mississippi’s first Black Senator story.
My Uncle Frances was a 1st Lt. who was shot multiple times fighting in France. Never fully recovered. Came back to Mississippi and became a civil rights lawyer.
He later taught at Antioch Law School where he had @scott_colom mom and dad as students. They met at Antioch.
I was talking to Scott’s dad the other day and he was saying how much my Uncle Francis would have loved this moment.
The Colom family story is America at its best. Scott’s grandmother was a civil rights worker in Ripley, Ms. his dad co-founded the Innocence Project with John Grisham. His mom is the first Black female Chancery court judge in Ms.
And now Scott is a US Senator.
1/ Our intel folks had to know what Jensen Huang was up to when Trump decided to take him to China. Did Trump bring him to China because Trump knew members of his family were going to get a cut from the profits of the illegal sales to China?
2/ Here's Huang and Eric before boarding AF-1 for the trip. House and/or Senate Intel Committees should question him. nypost.com/2026/11/10/us-new…

The Kurds did not feel betrayed because the United States abandoned them. They had expected it and understood the nature of American interests and policies. What this broker, Tom Barrack, needs to understand, however, is that supporting regimes and policies that continue to view the Kurds and their legitimate rights as a threat, and seek by every possible means to undermine their existence and dismantle their achievements, is neither justifiable nor something to be promoted.
This broker’s deals and political and economic interests must not come at the expense of the Kurds, Alawites, Druze, and Christians, nor at the expense of the rights, security, and future of these communities.
Some of these comments were distorted. He's making a clear point, and some may find it blunt; but he is always blunt and clear. It's better to be blunt and clear than for people to get misled and believe in things that won't happen.
It's better for the US to communicate directly and be clear. In the past, lack of clarity has led to a belief that something will happen, that doesn't happen.
I remember when Ambassador Jeffrey spoke about the SDF relationship as temporary, transactional and tactical in 2018 and a lot of people didn't seem to understand what this meant. It was a clear message. The US was not going to stay in Syria. That was the reality. It took until January 2026, roughly seven years after he said that.
I remember also before Afrin, or in Kirkuk in 2017, there have been many times when less blunt language led to confusion. And then dismay and even anger and sense of betrayal.

I believe the issue of Kurdish leadership is exaggerated. I say this based on personal and practical experience: every Kurdish leader operates within the circumstances and constraints they face, while trying to spare their people further suffering and hardship.
Tactical approaches may differ, but I believe the strategic vision is the same. Let us work together to bring even these tactical approaches closer and help unify them.
I understand Mr. Tom Barrack’s argument that the US wants to leave the Middle East. But withdrawing while empowering “the regimes” that threaten Kurds, minorities, secular and democratic Arabs, Persians, and Israelis will only create more instability. In business terms, which Mr. Envoy may understand better, this is not an exit strategy. It is simply transferring risk without solving the problem. The Trump administration is making a similar mistake in Ukraine. Kurdish autonomy would offer a better path to stability, but we Kurds must also be clear about our own shortcomings. We lack the united leadership.

We talk a lot in Iowa about honoring our veterans. That’s the easy part. The harder part — and what matters most — is making sure they have the support they need when they need it.
As Governor, you have my word: Iowa will stand behind every brave man or woman who serves our country — not just while they serve, but when they come home.

Pretty clear what this is:
Eisenkot is warning Netanyahu against using the military to launch operations against Iran during Israel’s political transition, in order to try to stay in power at the head of a unity government.
He cites Netanyahu’s status as a caretaker prime minister with reduced authorities and the support of only 46 seats in the Knesset, and the potential damage to Israel democracy of using the security services for political purposes.
ישראל נמצאת במציאות ביטחונית מאתגרת ונפיצה.
בשבועות האחרונים פורסמו ידיעות מדאיגות מאוד בנוגע להחדרת שיקולים זרים לקודש הקודשים: ביטחון ישראל.
פניתי הערב לראש הממשלה היוצא, בנימין נתניהו, בנוגע לחובתו הביטחונית והממלכתית בשעה זו.
מתוך הפנייה:
"אני דורש ממך: בתקופה רגישה זו אתה נדרש לאחריות לאומית, גלה איפוק וזהירות מפני מהלכים מסוכנים שיכולים לחכות להשבעת ממשלה חדשה הזוכה לאמון הכנסת. אל תחלל את אמון העם במוסדות השלטון ובהליך קבלת ההחלטות.
הפעלה של כוחות הביטחון ללא איום ישיר ומידי שאינו סובל דיחוי, עלולה להוביל להשלכות הרסניות על הדמוקרטיה הישראלית ועל אמון האזרחים במוסדות השלטון.
אל לך להציב את ראשי מערכות הביטחון בקונפליקט חוקתי קשה וספקות באשר לנדרש מהם ולדבר הנכון לעשותו. אפשר להם לשמור ללא ספקות על הציווי הקדוש המוטל עליהם".

💥@GiliCohen10 reports that whereas Netanyahu has not convened his security cabinet for more than a month, the IDF have received orders to heighten preparedness for war with Iran. (!)
