Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET.
• In a dramatic repudiation of President Trump, Democrats seize both the House and Senate, flipping seats in traditionally red states such as Texas and Kansas by capitalizing on broad voter discontent over high prices and the Israeli/US war against Iran. Ted and Jamarl analyze the results. MAGA is dead. Can America First regroup?
• Democratic majorities will mark a sharp break from the prior GOP Congress that largely rubber-stamped his agenda. Are there possible areas of bipartisan cooperation, or is gridlock and nonstop law fare inevitable?
• Notable, historic and stunning Democratic victories underscored the Blue Wave, including progressive Abdul El-Sayed becoming the first Muslim U.S. senator (from Michigan) despite the GOP’s racist anti-Muslim attacks, alongside strong gains among young voters, Latinos, and those who didn’t vote in 2024. 28 Governorships are now Democratic. Nevada voters enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution. Idaho rejected a measure to expand access, preserving its near-total ban. Missouri voters blocked an effort to repeal the 2024 abortion-rights amendment. Virginia approved constitutional amendments protecting reproductive freedom (including abortion), restoring felon voting rights, and removing a same-sex marriage ban. Democrat Jon Rosenthal became the first Democrat elected to the Texas Railroad Commission in over 30 years.
Today we also discuss:
• Polish PM Tusk accused Russia of a border provocation involving “individuals with flashlights” near Kaliningrad.
• Iran called the US response to its Hormuz reopening conditions unconvincing.
