Rhapsody in Blue: The US Midterm Election Results

It was more than could have been hoped for, in progressives’ wildest dreams. The Blue Tsunami continues to sweep GOP candidates before it, almost a week after Election Day, as late-reporting districts and squeaker races fall, one after another, to Democrats. At least 255 House seats, perhaps 260+ when all is said and done; at least 54 Senate seats, perhaps rising to 56; a pickup of five governorships; seven State Houses flipped from Red to Blue, and another seven where the Republican supermajorities were lost.

Trump, who continues to spread anarchy, instability and failure to any and all who come into contact with him, regardless of Party affiliation.

US Midterm Election Preview, Part One

The 2026 US midterm elections, to be held on November 3^rd, are among the most consequential in the nation’s history. If the slide into autocracy for the US is to be averted, it’s essential that Democrats retake at least one chamber of Congress, since Republicans are apparently unwilling to curb even the worst impulses of the Mad King.

Trump Trifecta: Corruption, Cowardice & Coercion

A trio of stories this summer show Donald Trump in his best worst light, from financial disclosure documents that reveal a stunning level of corruption, to a quick-change flight plan that left Cabinet members and reporters hung out as bait, and renewed pressure on NATO allies to cough up territories to which he hasn’t the shadow of a right. It’s the Summer of The Donald – heated, sticky and oppressive.
