After wasting nearly $500M on the midterms and managing to turn Texas blue, Elon Musk said Tesla will wind down production of the much maligned Cybertruck.

Elon announced this on the social media platform he turned into a town hall for Nazi aligned bots.

“Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production,” the man who tried to buy Texas wrote.

The announcement caused Inside EV’s to label the Cybertruck “One Of The Greatest Flops In Automotive History.”

“That seals its position as one of the greatest automotive failures in history. That means it’ll live about as long as Ford’s Edsel—an automotive flop so epic that I learned about it in my high school history class,” they wrote of its short three year life.

Inside EV lays the blame right at Elon Musk’s feet:

This failure lies primarily with him. Musk’s culture of promising before thinking, and lying without shame, created the culture that built one of the most overhyped and under-baked products in modern automotive history. Its failure will be studied for decades to come as an example of executive incompetence, just like the Edsel. That much is written.

The Cybertruck is not only one of the ugliest things to ever be put on the road, it also became the butt of jokes as it got stuck doing things a “truck” is supposed to be able to do. Then, Elon’s Nazi salute sealed the deal for his brand, making the Cybertruck the symbol of collusion with evil.

Donald Trump is so desperate to save himself from the historic rejection of the voters that he is threatening conservative groups and looking to undo Steve Bannon’s conviction.

The Trump White House is unhappy with the way some conservatives are blaming him for the midterm loss he inspired with not only his bad economic policies, but his strong-arming of members of his party to such an extent that they’ve gone along as weak enablers of his worst instincts and thus had nothing to run on but racism, sexism and bigotry.

Sadly for them, the country was not in the mood for a culture war because they can’t afford gas and groceries due to Trump’s corruption.

Naturally, Trump responded to being held accountable by his own base with threats, saying “We’re watching you” in a memo from the White House Office of Public Liaison to a more than 3,000 conservative groups.

They later denied that the threat is a threat. In other words, typical Trump.

“The White House delivered a warning to conservative groups on Thursday: We’re watching you. Two days after voters rebuked President Trump and his party, the administration moved to hold together a coalition that was beginning to splinter,” the Wall Street Journal reported in an exclusive.

We are MONITORING YOU:

“As always, we are monitoring statements, press releases, and media engagements from your organizations,” the memo said. Leaders of two prominent conservative organizations confirmed that they had received the memo.

Asked for comment, the White House denied that their threat was a threat. “A White House spokeswoman said the email wasn’t a threat and was part of a larger effort to mobilize outside supporters. The spokeswoman said the Office of Public Liaison has sent out messages with similar language in the past.”

But when the Wall Street Journal got its hands on previous messages from the liaison’s office, they “don’t include language about monitoring the groups’ statements.”

Donald Trump is now threatening his own supporters.

Corporate America is bracing for impact after American voters gave Democrats a strong trifecta of power.

The midterm elections made it clear that voters are demanding a check on the executive branch. And Democrats are ready to deliver by holding people to account with “speed and severity.”

“Democrats are throwing out the old playbook of polite investigations in favor of being much more aggressive” according to new reporting by Pranshu Verma in the Washington Post.

Did you ever think you’d see the day?

It gets better. They will move with “speed and severity,” according to a lawyer who specializes in Congressional investigations.

A lawyer who is the head of the congressional investigations practice at the law firm Crowell and Moring “said that the Democrats’ control of both chambers of Congress heightens the expectation that they will move with speed and severity.”

Democrats are planning an attack of investigations into the actions of America’s largest corporations over the past two years, according to the report, “sparking a reckoning among Silicon Valley and Wall Street executives who courted the Trump administration — and who are now bracing for an onslaught.”

The House is laying the groundwork to investigate President Donald Trump’s use of Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, to plan the military operation and capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, according to those people. Lawmakers are also eyeing Apple over its hosting of tracking apps used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Meta over its demands that local governments sign nondisclosure agreements related to data center development.

Investigative Focus of Democrats

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), who tweeted ‘Lawyer up” in reaction to the astonishing political destruction of Republicans on Tuesday evening, outlined four primary areas of focus for the House Oversight Committee once Democrats take control: "the Trump Crime Family, corporate corruption, DHS and ICE abuses, and the cover-up of the Epstein files."

In a statement released Tuesday evening, Garcia said they would investigate the “Trump Crime Family”, including Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures, Jared Kushner’s $2 billion investment firm funding from Saudi Arabia, Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding reportedly backed by a Russian oligarch, and other Pentagon and business ties and contracts.

Sen.-Elect Abdul El-Sayed went on ABC’s The View and explained why progressive policies are really pro-American people policies.

Watch: Sarah Jones On Trump’s Day of Reckoning:

El-Sayed said:

Well, I want to think about what progressive policies are, right? If you're saying we should stand up to corporations and oligarchy, that's about making life affordable.

Everybody in this audience right now has a cell phone, probably made by one of two carriers. Everybody here has probably one of three carriers that give you operability on that cell phone. That is corporate power to the level that we have not seen in this country for a very long time.

Think about Medicare for all. It's just saying that everybody should have guaranteed health insurance without having to worry about how much they got to pay on the back end. So my point is this: if our policies are about trying to solve real problems for people.

On April 17, 2026, Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk and Donald Trump headlined a major "Build the Red Wall" rally in Phoenix, Arizona. The midterms would be their first major election test since Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025.

Cut to: On November 4, 2026, Democrats seemed to be headed for the whole trifecta, taking control of the legislature for the first time since 1966.

Republican leaders sought out a scapegoat. Former chair of the Arizona Republican Party Gina Swoboda blamed Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point for their epic losses.

“I don’t know how many times the voters of Arizona have to say no. No, we do not want Turning Point,” Swoboda said on KTAR News.

KTAR pointed out that Turning Point Action endorsed Republicans for “every statewide office on Arizona’s ballot. Andy Biggs lost the governor’s race, as did the group’s candidates for attorney general and secretary of state. Meanwhile, its candidates for treasurer, schools superintendent, Corporation Commission and state Senate trailed in unofficial results Wednesday. Endorsed state Senate candidates in swing districts, including Shawnna Bolick, Carine Werner and T.J. Shope, were also behind.”

Turning Point bragged about their "Build the Red Wall" campaign to lock down key western and swing states, including Arizona, Nevada, and New Hampshire, citing their 2024 electoral performance, with Trump declaring, “In 2024, Turning Point’s grassroots army helped us win Arizona in an absolute landslide.”

But the grassroots army didn’t show up in Arizona. They didn’t show up anywhere.

After the Blue Tsunami blew through even the reddest parts of the country, blatantly rejecting MAGA and Trumpism, conservative figures and MAGA allies are raising the alarm about Trump failing to lock in a multi-decade 6-3 or expanded conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court.

They’ve been pressuring senior conservative Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas (78) and Samuel Alito (76) to retire before the new Democratic majority Senate is seated.

The New York Times reported that Justice Alito has told friends that he will not retire immediately, but that hasn’t stopped the Republicans from having ideas.

Another way of looking at this is they want Trump to appoint MAGA successors for a country that despises the anti-American and anti-democratic authoritarianism of Trump.

Yes, they just want to make us take it, as if Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Coney Barrett weren’t enough of an impact for Trump to make on the Supreme Court.

This might seem far-fetched, but you know better.

We all remember how then Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (now currently voting as a person we are not sure is functioning) blocked then President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland for 293 days.

McConnell and Senate Republicans argued that an open Supreme Court seat should not be filled during a presidential election year because — and I need you to remember this — they claimed the American people should have a voice in selecting the next justice through the outcome of the upcoming 2016 presidential election.

Neil Gorsuch took that seat.

But now, the American people made their voice so well known that Republicans are fighting for their life in Mississippi and Texas is blue. The American people want nothing more to do with Donald Trump or his style of judges. Donald Trump has weaponized the DOJ and abused American citizens with petty vindictive charges against people he views as opponents.

Using Republicans’ own logic, Donald Trump has less of a right to choose a Supreme Court justice than Barack Obama did — AND Obama chose a moderate who was well respected by everyone (at that time). Obama chose someone more than competent and fit for the job, unlike Trump’s history of judicial picks.

Given how clearly Republicans laid out the rules to deny Obama a SCOTUS pick, surely they will see the lame duck session of a massively rejected president like a perfect time to shove another Trump nominee through their appeasement pipeline.

American historian and On Tyranny author Timothy Snyder urged Americans to transform the shocking blue tsunami earthquake of the 2026 midterms into a vision that drives systemic reform.

In other words, seize this power and take it the next level.

“Take the victory. Appreciate the victory. Own the victory. Turn the victory into power. Don't worry so much about what they're going to do to you,” Snyder said on social media.

Watch Sarah Jones talk about the midterm victory:

“Worry about what you're going to do to them, or more importantly, think about what you're going to do for them. Think about how you're going to transform this mandate, which comes from all the people who voted for you, but also from all the people who chose not to vote against you. A mandate which is chiefly about ending corruption, ending unfairness, amending which has to do with getting money out of politics, which has to do with bringing down oligarchy, reducing inequality. That's what we're here for.”

Watch here:

Snyder laid out the mandate:

• Ending corruption and unfairness within the political system.

• Amending processes to remove money from politics.

• Dismantling oligarchy and reducing economic inequality.

Snyder urged Americans to transforming victory into actionable power:

• Converting the current victory into actionable power.

• Shifting focus from defensive postures to proactive service for the people.

• Honoring the mandate provided by both voters and those who did not vote against the movement.

Snyder’s argument builds on what I’ve been writing and saying since Monday. This victory is surreal, and it’s all because of YOU. We patriots did this.

Now it’s time to imagine the future we want and to push the people we elected to do better, protect this democracy and voting rights, fix the Supreme Court, do more for the people, clean out the corruption, and protect human rights.

We did this. And we have so much more to do.

After the brutal and historic rejection of MAGA in Tuesday’s midterms, a leading Republican strategist went on international TV to make the case that Trump was a Democrat far longer than he was a Republican.

While Donald Trump has been unusually quiet in response to his brutal rejection by the American people, he’s still clinging to the idea that if he was on the ballot, it would have been different because, as he told Fox News, “You never saw rallies that big.”

Actually, we have and they were not for him.

But it’s not just Trump who is having difficulty reckoning with the eulogy of the MAGA movement.

Leading Republican strategist Bryan Lanza went on international TV to make the case that Trump was a Democrat far longer than he was a Republican.

“(Y)ou have to remember Donald Trump has been a Democrat much longer than he's ever been a Republican, and a significant part of this tariff policy is not Republican policy or it's not not normal Republican policy, so no, I'm not surprised by his tone, and like I said, I think you know the president's always looking for opportunities and deals, and he sees you know ahead of you know with Democrats some challenges, but he also sees some opportunities,” Lanza said on France 24.

Not only is Lanza not so subtly distancing the GOP from Trump, but he’s also extrapolating out to Trump’s tariffs not being Republican.

The problem with this argument is that the majority of Republicans enabled Trump’s tariffs, and only a small group of House Republicans broke party ranks to vote with Democrats to rescind Trump's emergency tariffs on Canada, for example.

Yes, behind closed doors, many of these spineless lawmakers privately welcomed judicial setbacks like federal court rulings challenging sweeping "Liberation Day" reciprocal tariffs, but they did so in relief that they wouldn’t have to challenge Trump themselves.

Overall, the Republicans with a spine and a moral center were driven out of Congress over the last decade of Trumpism.

Trump and the Republican Party own Trump’s tariffs. Trump’s tariffs are a large part of his economic policy, that also includes driving Americans’ healthcare costs up with this One Big Beautiful Bill and gauging Americans’ at the gas pump and grocery store from his very unpopular and unnecessary war in Iran.

It was a resounding rejection of a man who has imposed his toxic personality on the country for ten plus years and of the party that enabled him to violate rules, abuse the American people, and attack the Constitution.

This is the end of Donald Trump’s dominance of American politics, just as we wrote and discussed it would be yesterday. The Daily with Sarah Jones suggested yesterday that this was the end of the Trump era and the beginning of a whole new political landscape, and the midterm results agree.

This was at least as severe a repudiation as 2006 was to George W. Bush, but I’d argue it’s worse. After all, Democrats turned Texas blue last night and Republicans are fighting for their life in Mississippi.

Last night was Wreckage for MAGA. A brutal bloodbath. The blue Wave didn’t stop at double digit Trump districts being taken by Democrats. Democrats also mounted a spectacular rally taking power in Congress and governors' mansions across America.

State legislatures turned blue, including in Georgia, Minnesota (DFL), and Pennsylvania. This importantly creates a safety mechanism for the 2028 presidential elections lest a certain Red Hat try to incite a January 6th domestic terrorist attack again, this time hiding out in his taxpayer-funded bunker.

But who around Trump will keep his secrets now, knowing Democrats have the power of the subpoena in the US House, and they — unlike Trump — do not have immunity?

Getting a taste of how angry the American actually people are has burst through the elite bubble of collaborators and colluders, and we can just imagine the scramble behind the scenes for many Trump allies and aides.

 Trump was wanting to act more like a ruler. He wanted to act more like a sole decision-maker. He was going to tell America what it could have, what it could not have.

If Americans didn't like high gas prices, well, tough. If Americans didn't like high grocery prices, well, tough. If you didn't like g- having your healthcare cut so billionaires could have a bigger tax cut, well, that was too bad too.

Nothing was going to change. There was nothing you could do about it, Trump said. In fact, Trump went out of his way to show the American people over and over again that he did not care. He didn't care about them. He didn't care about anything of the, the American people were concerned with.

He didn't care that people did not have heating oil. He didn't care that people were gonna freeze this winter. He didn't care that people couldn't afford groceries or to put gas in the car, or that their jobs are hanging on by a thread.

Trump's main campaign pitch was, "I'll give you $5,000 if you vote for Republicans," but you really can't buy anything with $5,000, at least in my world. So enjoy the pocket change, peasants.

The thing is, the American people aren't peasants.

In the United States, the American people hold the power, and they hold the power through the ballot box. And what we are seeing tonight is an unprecedented pushback by the American people. The American people standing up for their country, for their democracy, for their rights.

The American people said, "We will not live without food. We will not live without affordable healthcare. We will not live with expensive gasoline that we can't afford. We don't wanna live with measles. We don't want disease."

That's the message being sent. That's the whole message, and that's why independents in such large numbers joined with Democrats to vote out anyone viewed as a Trump enabler, anyone viewed as a Trump supporter.

The midterm election result wasn’t only a change in political power.

The results of the election were intended to send a message that the American people and their needs will not be ignored.

Any presidents who makes the choice to ignore the people will pay the price.

No president has ignored the people in the way that Trump has, and no president has paid the price that Trump has.

Trump will still occupy the office, but his presidency is effectively over because the American people came together and said no more.

While the media is focused on the winning and losing of the election, fundamentally, elections are about democracy, and the 2026 midterm election is about reasserting democracy and checking a president who is trying to weaken the backbone of the nation’s system of goverance.

As Sarah Jones said:

 We are 61 days until Trump loses control of the House and possibly the Senate. So there's a lot to look forward to in terms of that. But the battle that we are fighting to get our democracy back is a much longer battle, and we have a lot more to look forward to in terms of how we want to reshape this country, not just to fix the things that Trump broke, but to make this country better than it was before Trump, stronger and more responsive to the people.

After a decade plus of Trump, this election is the first step on the path toward reshaping te direction of the nation after Trump.

 That work starts soon as Trump denies these election results:

We know what's gonna happen even after this battle of winning midterms happens. Then we know that Trump is going to be like an injured animal, and he's going to lash out, and he's not gonna accept the results.

And so the fight goes on and on, but it's the people who stay in that fight that are really gonna turn this country around and m- make it something so that the next generation can have some of the things. I think about this a lot. PBS the shows that we watched as kids on PBS, the younger generation isn't gonna have all those things. And I want a country that has healthy libraries, and all books are available to everyone. So these are the things that we're building, and it's gonna take time Yeah, it's not gonna be rebuilt in a day.

I think some of the things, some of the superficial things can be rebuilt rather quickly. Literally, the physical projects he's destroying can be rebuilt. Those are the easy parts. The hard part is restoring faith in in our system. But, and part of that is too, like I, I keep talking about this, but I don't think we ne- I think people, when they think about, "Oh, we gotta rebuild this stuff," but it's like we, let's not rebuild what he broke. Let's make new things. Let's make it better. Let's make it more responsive to the people.

Winning the election was step one.

The next phase of the work begins in January 2027.

The American people have a nation to rebuild.

Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens’ old tweets show her championing liberal, Democratic values, but when she lost the Senate primary to Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, she threw a fit and made a pivotal election all about her by reversing her endorsement of the Democrat and throwing her support behind the toxic Republican, Mike Rogers.

Selfish, greedy, myopic.

Here are just a few of her old tweets people have been digging up on social media, which demonstrate her Fetterman pivot:

If Stevens really cares about those issues, how could she have endorsed Republican Mike Rogers all because she wasn’t invited to a party?

Haley Stevens’ behavior lays bare the stark self-interest that defines the modern-day politician in the Trump era. Yes, this has always been an issue, but before Trump they at least tried to dress it up. Now, it’s just shameless opportunism.

Stevens represents everything that’s wrong with modern politicians from both parties. She represents the rot from within the establishment of the Democratic Party, those elite, faceless strategists, spin doctors and donors behind the scenes pushing the party further and further to the Right until they’re shoving someone as fickle and unstable as Haley Stevens down voters’ throats.

In the other corner, the Democratic Party had on offering a champion of the Constitution and someone who seems to actually care about voters in Dr. El-Sayed. But he was too progressive for them. They thought he couldn’t win, even though Michigan has way more registered Muslims (Michigan had an estimated 206,050 to over 200,000 registered Muslim voters — up from 162,373 in 2016) than 80,000 votes Trump won it by in 2024.

Haley Stevens’ behavior represents the rot that needs to be weeded out of office. The fact that she lost her primary is a sign that voters are fed up with party politics as usual and are demanding change.

Polls, models and markets see a Blue Tsunami today, but no matter what happens in the midterm elections, we have reached the beginning of a new era.

By Monday evening, growing evidence of strong early-voter participation and unexpected opportunities in traditionally Republican strongholds had experts talking about potential upsets in states like Texas and Maine. Trump has so tarnished the image of the Republican Party that even Kansas, Iowa, and Florida have been mentioned.

So it looks likely to be a Blue Tsunami.

But the real fight had already begun, and it will continue after the midterms, no matter how they turn out and no matter how hard Trump et al fight the results.

The resistance to Trump’s autocracy has solidified in the last two years. It’s also bigger than Trump; he has just exposed the bad argument in his vulgar, crass way.

The nation is consistently showing that it is ready for change. Real change, not just changing the letter behind the president’s name — but systemic change from top to bottom. A new imagining of our democracy that is not trying to fix what Trump and Republicans broke, but trying to build a new future.

A robust future for The People.

We are turning the page on the massive corruption of the Trump era into the age of rebuilding something new. It hasn’t been painless and it will continue to be costly. But the decades-long stranglehold of the rise of the right has been exposed as a bad argument that used free-market principles to critique needed social programs.

The country is changing, rejecting the long-festering lie of the Nixon-Reagan economic myth. It never trickled down, and resentment of our fellow man hasn’t gotten us anything.

Trump keeps losing in court, but this one was a real blow to his efforts to undermine the midterms.

But just before 6 PM, the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s appeal. The rejection was not even elaborate. It was an unsigned order.

SCOTUS Blog added, “There were no noted dissents.”

The Department of Justice (DOJ) was claiming without evidence that the ballots were tied to individuals suspected of being noncitizens, but as we broke down this morning, the DOJ has gone full Four Seasons Total Landscaping on their election claims, and so what started off as them claiming there were nearly 200,000 people voting illegally became 20,000 but there are major irregularities in the data they presented and a lot of data missing.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to stop engaging in a “campaign to intimidate, threaten, and coerce” election officials ahead of the U.S. midterms.

“In the lead-up to the election, high-ranking DOJ and DHS officials have engaged in a campaign to intimidate, threaten, and coerce state and local officials and employees who are engaged in administering the ongoing midterm 2026 election,” U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson ruled on Friday.

Naturally, by Sunday the Trump DOJ had already filed an appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in California, because how can they have an election of fear, intimidation, and gaslighting if they are not allowed to threaten election officials?

The Trump DOJ seems to seek to be able to halt the processing of ballots of registered voters based solely on their unproven allegations. The DOJ’s track record with false, unproven allegations against voters took a nosedive from sketchy to laughable in the last week.

They are appealing the ruling that prohibits any action that may “threaten, intimidate or coerce state or local elections officials or workers to demand that they halt processing the ballots of any registered voter solely on the basis that the ballot belongs to an individual alleged by [the administration] to be ineligible to vote.”

Trump’s DOJ is now acting as his personal lawyers in a manner on par with the dishonorable and disbarred behavior of many of his personal lawyers who falsely claimed he had won the 2020 election.

Trump’s DOJ sent letters to 57 of California’s 58 counties threatening officials that if they don’t go along with the DOJ’s scheme to disenfranchise voters without cause, they could face investigations themselves.

Trump’s DOJ has been harassing California so much that California Governor Gavin Newsom sent letters to four U.S. District Court judges warning them that the Trump administration may try to seize ballots cast in the midterm election.

“I have grave concerns federal agents will seek search warrants to seize ballots and ballot materials before the election results are certified,” Newsom wrote.

The Trump DOJ is trying to get over 20,000 voters basically thrown off the voter rolls without due process or cause. An analysis showed that more than 40% of names on DOJ list of alleged noncitizens were not even on California’s voter rolls, and *71.2% had never voted in previous elections.

In response, the Trump administration shared complete data making its case.

In response, the Trump DOJ “objected to sharing the list, calling it a ‘fishing expedition’.”

A fishing expedition started by whom? The Trump DOJ. So they won’t share the details of the people they’re disenfranchising based on their word, but they shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

So the Trump DOJ was ordered to disclose the 20,000-person list.

Giving Four Seasons Total Landscaping levels of competence, data experts said the file they received was created Oct. 30, which is the very day DOJ turned it over, but the original list sent to California officials had been produced weeks earlier.

Oopsie.

The list is also missing the data they were ordered to produce.

This is where the corporate mainstream media ties itself into knots, pretending that Haley Stevens matters, and the Michigan Senate election is now in doubt. The media needed a dramatic plotline to boost interest in the midterm election because Democrats are heading for a very good Election Night.

Stevens made it clear that she could not get over losing the Democratic primary to El-Sayed and she was upset because she didn’t think that she was shown the proper love, so Stevens decided to betray all of her supporters and her staff by burning everything to the ground and endorsing Mike Rogers two days before the election.

The timing of the endorsement was erratic and bizarre.

The endorsement came too late to blanket the airwaves with ads, and many Michiganders had already voted, so what exactly was the point of the Stevens spitebomb?

It just seems like a half-baked, last-minute decision by a person who has not been able to come to grips with the reality that Democratic voters rejected her.

Democrats have quickly thrown Stevens to the curb and strongly support the party’s unified support for Abdul El-Sayed. The response has been so consistent, coordinated, and fast that it's as if the party expected this from Haley Stevens.

Abdul El-Sayed’s Response To Stevens Was Perfect

El-Sayed was asked if he thought that Stevens had betrayed the Democratic Party, and he said:

 At the end of the day, I actually don't think about Haley Stevens. See what I'm saying?

When the question was posed to Sen. Bernie Sanders on CBS’s Face The Nation, he answered by putting the focus right back on Trump:

 Haley Stevens lost a very, very close primary. I can understand being upset about that, but I think two days before the election, where people all over Michigan understand that this is the most important midterm election perhaps in the history of the United States, because we are taking on the most dangerous president that we've ever had, somebody who's an author- authoritarian, does not believe in the Constitution or the rule of law, who wants to give massive tax breaks to billionaires, throw 15 million people off their healthcare that they had, started an illegal, unconstitutional war in Iraq.
