Trump's Mass-Deportation Mania May Boost Food Prices

If you want the briefest possible explanation of why Democrats lost the presidency and Congress in 2024, it was because swing voters cared a lot about inflation and the politicians running the country decided to talk about everything else. Yes, they had talking points about inflation, but they were mostly defensive (it wasn't as bad as it had been, it was due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, etc.). And they decided to try to force people to think instead about their issues, such as abortion rights and the threat Donald Trump posed to democracy. It didn't work.

Nick Fuentes Voices Concerns About Weird Guy' Trump: He's Not Right in the Head'

And I'm not saying that to be nasty, but like he's a weird guy and some of the stuff that he does, just the way that he's always glazing himself and repeats himself. He's not right in the head. He continued: And I don't know if that's his psychology or if it's just his age, but there's something not right there and anyone who's been around him will tell you that.

Democrats Still Have No Idea What Went Wrong

On a recent panel of progressive activists analyzing what went wrong in the 2024 election, the author, activist, and failed political candidate Qasim Rashid spoke with confidence about the way forward for the Democratic Party. The problem, he insisted, was not that Democrats had strayed too far from public opinion but that the party had grown too solicitous of it. "Saying the right thing timidly," he proclaimed, "is less effective than saying the wrong thing loudly."

No more Mr Nice Guy: Ed Davey rebrands Lib Dems as the real opposition to Reform

These are Happy Days for the Liberal Democrats. A year ago in Bournemouth they had appeared to be caught in the spotlight of their own electoral success. Unsure quite where they would go next. At times the conference speeches had been almost apologetic. New MPs blinking as they were pushed on to the main stage, unknown even to themselves. Twelve months on there is a confidence to the party. Their 72 MPs have all settled quite comfortably into Westminster and rather enjoy the attention. They are bullish about the future. There are no worries about losing their seats at the next election. Rather they see 2024 as a springboard for a brighter future. Looking to take more seats off the Tories as well as taking chunks out of Labour in the red wall. Branding themselves the real opposition to Reform. A key player in any centre-left coalition.

Kamala Harris reveals why she didn't pick Pete Buttigieg as her running mate in 2024

"I love Pete," Harris writes in an excerpt obtained by The Atlantic. "I love working with Pete. He and his husband, Chasten, are friends. But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let's just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk. And I think Pete also knew that-to our mutual sadness."

Who Showed Up to Lead in a Dark, Tense Week?

This was an awful week. The jokes begin in the third entry, if you want to skip ahead, and they cover the very funny subject matter of the president's relationship with a deceased sex criminal. Then the gags really get going when we talk about the tensest state of affairs between Russia and NATO since the Cold War. Can't get enough? How about a conflict of interest at the Federal Reserve? Finally, everyone's comfort food: relitigating Democrats' calamitous performance in the 2024 election.
