The North Carolina Voter Identification Amendment was on the ballot in North Carolina as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on November 3, 2026. The amendment was approved.


Racist misogynist SECWAR Pete Hegseth (R) -- an incompetent alcoholic and failure who fell into ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's trap which sunk the US into a never-ending Middle Eastern quagmire against the people of Iran -- a war which is bankrupting the US -- blither-blathers incoherently for five minutes over Rep. Thomas Massie's (R-KY) "Sham Articles Of Impeachment."

Bibi and Senile Satan have bankrupted America. Just look at the astronomical costs to the American taxpayer who doesn't enjoy worldclass universal healthcare like Israelis. Wow. The entire Trumpf junta should be court-martialed forthwith.


"The entire Democratic Party owes Zohran Mamdani a huge thank you. Before he burst onto the scene, the party was directionless. We had lost our way, our mojo, and our confidence. We abandoned the working class, and voters abandoned us in return. Zohran got us back on track with energy, clarity, and a real connection to the people we left behind. Without him, we might not be where we are today. Who couldn't like him? [Zohran] radiates joy, empathy, kindness, and love." '' " "Mamdani's election was a beacon of light in 2025 and gave us all hope. Now he's a household name, and Democrats around the country love him. He gave us hope we can do the same thing around the country. Progressive Democrats are the future." Even Dummkopf Trumpf has a "thing" for handsome and charismatic Zohran.

NYG QB Jaxson Dart and Zohran Mamdani (D) are Trumpf's "type."


NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) criticized oligarch James Dolan, the owner of Madison Square Garden, one of NYC's largest entertainment venues, for his company's use of surveillance technology on New Yorkers. His Honor stated this invasive police state measure should be banned, emphasizing that surveillance technologies are "indicative of much that is wrong in our country today." Two pieces of legislation have been introduced in the NYC Council at banning the collection of biometric data (e.g. facial recognition), in public places across NYC. The popular and effective Democratic mayor stated that this draft legislation is "an important response to this kind of an issue."

Fatcat James Dolan, who inherited his father's gigantic business empire, yucking it up with Andrew "AIPAC" Cuomo. Figures.


District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan blocked construction of President Trump's Arch early Friday morning, stopping work the administration had hoped to begin immediately. Just before midnight, she issued an order barring the government from any construction work for 14 days, granting a request filed days earlier by the governments of D.C. and Virginia. Judge Chutkin's ruling came less than two hours after a federal planning commission packed with Trump allies granted final approval to the arch in an 8-4 vote.


"I guess I'll become Mr Veto," Trump told the New York Post's Pod Force One podcast in an interview excerpt released on Sunday.

The White House has denied rumours that Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio might leave their jobs in a post-election shakeup of the Trump administration. US media have reported there are calls to replace Hegseth - in particular over his handling of the Iran war, which is being blamed for heavy Republican election losses.


US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that he says will prevent future presidents from making certain changes to the White House Oval Office. Trump, a former real estate mogul, has altered the president's official office during his second term, most notably by adding many gold features to its walls. "So we're making it a national monument, and it will not be allowed to be touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped down by stupid people, in order to build something in a slightly different shape," Trump told reporters on Thursday.


Elon Musk spent nearly half a billion dollars on the US midterm elections, but the record expenditure yielded little for the world's richest man and leader of SpaceX and Tesla.


Here's a list of Trump-endorsed Republicans who lost on Tuesday (see first comment(s)) ...


But the midterm rout, which none of these folks seemed to see coming, has cranked the stakes up to eleven. That's partially because right-wing media figures are worried about their future.

If no one wants to be a Republican anymore, who's going to watch their podcasts and buy their brain pills?

But it's also because there's a genuine belief that the fate of their ideological projects is at stake.


The state thrice denied the Satanic Temple's application for a family friendly holiday event featuring satanic carols, arts and crafts and a Krampus costume contest, arguing it would be harmful to minors.


Following the inconclusive election results in Israel, the key to ousting ICC-indicted war criminal PM Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud) from power lies with the Israeli Communist Party (AKA the "Makis") and the "Joint List," an alliance of three parties: Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad. Hadash is a Jewish-Arab coalition led by the Makis. This bloc has long fought for an end to the brutal occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, a Palestinian state alongside Israel based on the 1967 borders, and full equality for all Arab citizens (one-fifth of Israel's population). The Joint List is headed by Yousef Jabareen, a Hadash leader and law professor, a man educated in Israel and the US. The Joint List includes Member of Knesset (MK) Ofer Cassif, a communist. To govern Israel, any ruling coalition must include this progressive bloc as neither Benjamin Netanyahu (who won 53 seats) nor Gadi Eisenkot " "Likud Lite" " (who won 48 seats) have a majority of 61 seats in the 120-member Knesset.


WASHINGTON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump faced pressure from Republicans on Wednesday to change course after a midterm election rout handed Democrats control of Congress and voters rejected his handpicked candidates in key races.

Republican allies and strategists called for Trump to shake up his White House personnel, restore discipline and scrap policies they blamed for the losses, including the Iran war and tariffs, as his presidency enters its final years.

Veteran Republican strategist John Feehery called the results a "huge disaster" for Trump.

"He needs to clean house," Feehery said. "Every day from this point forward, he's becoming more and more lame."

But Trump showed little indication that he viewed the election outcome as a reason to change direction.

"I don't view it as a hit on me," he told Fox News late on Tuesday.


The Nasdaq Composite plummeted on Thursday, erasing the sharp gains from the previous session, as investors continued to rotate away from technology stocks and into more defensive areas of the market. The tech-heavy Nasdaq declined 4.2% and dipped into correction territory, while the S&P 500 was down 2.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 780 points, or 1.5%, as gains in stocks such as Chevron and Johnson & Johnson were not enough to spare the 30-stock index from the tech selling spree. The Dow erased around half of its advance from Wednesday's massive rally.


West Hollywood has become the latest city to create a domestic partnership registry for polyamorous relationships, with the city's five-person City Council unanimously approving the legal protections for alternative family structures.
