Hakeem Jeffries Rises To The Challenge On Fox News After Election Victories

Democratic Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on Fox News' Special Edition a day after the massive Democratic party sweep on Tuesday's election. He did a fine job of explaining what the Democratic Party is and what Republicans are failing to do without falling into the usual Fox News traps set by their hosts.

It's obvious Republican talking points went out focusing only on Zohran Mamdani's win after the Democratic Tsunami, conflating him with terrorists and trying to wrap him around the necks of the Democratic party.

Host Bret Baier did his part for their cause and Jeffries did not fall for this ruse and easily swatted it away..

JEFFRIES: That's what Democrats are all about at this moment, House Democrats in particular.

We recognize that America deserves better than where things are at right now, that we need to drive down the high cost of living. We need to fix our broken healthcare system, and we also need to clean up corruption across the board, in Congress, at the Supreme Court, and of course, as it relates to this administration.

BAIER: You've had Democratic socialists like Mamdani win, though, and there have been supporters, including yourself, who, who endorsed him.

But the Democratic Socialists of America, this is what their platform is, abolish mandatory minimums and cash bail, establish universal rent control, greatly reduce U.S. military budget, amnesty for all immigrants, full voting rights to non-citizens, and national popular vote for president.

Clown Howard Lutnik Says SCOTUS On Trump's Side On Tariffs

In the alternate world of Fox News, Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik gleefully claimed to Sean Hannity, with no proof AND after attending the hearing, that the Supreme Court was on Trump's side and he will win the tariff case.

If an actual human being checked in on the hearing itself, the Supreme Court gave no actual indication that they are on Trump's side. It is rightfully said that tariffs are taxes, and Trump is usurping congressional authority.

Wearing a shit-eating dumb grin, Sputnik Lutnik characterized the lengthy court session as Super-Bowl-like and made some bizarre analogies to make his unfounded case.

LUTNIK: And there were fireworks all the time, but think of some of these questions, like Justice Kavanaugh says, imagine a meeting in the Oval Office with the president where, and this was his cross-examination of their lawyer, and he says, you've said he could embargo, he could cut off trade with any country.

And their lawyer said, I agree. He goes, imagine telling the president in the Oval Office, sir, you can blow up trade with this country. And he goes, that seems too much.

Can I put a tariff on them and do a little less? And they say, no, sir, you can't.

And Justice Kavanaugh says, that seems like a very odd donut to me.

I mean, how could you let that happen? It just didn't make sense.

The justices were on the president's side.

You're hearing it here from me.

President Trump is going to win this case.

Boston's Michelle Wu Re-Elected With 93.23% Of The Vote

How popular is Boston's mayor, Michelle Wu? So popular, no one else bothered to run against her. And it's not for nothing that she was recently included in New York magazine's The 25 Young(ish) Democrats to Watch (besides AOC and Mamdani) as Democrats rebuild the reputation of their party.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu was re-elected to a second term in office Tuesday, as she ran unopposed in the 2025 election.

Wu, a Democrat, was initially going to face Josh Kraft, a son of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. But after the mayor beat him by more than 48 points in the preliminary election in September, Kraft dropped out.

With 100% of precincts reporting Wednesday, Wu earned 93.23% of the vote, according to unofficial results from the city. More than six percent went to write-in candidates.

The mayor made national headlines earlier this year for her frequent battles with President Trump and his administration over immigration and crime.

"This year against the backdrop of a federal administration's chaos and cruelty, we faced a choice," Wu said Tuesday night. "Cave to the pressure, backtrack and change course, or double down on the values that founded our nation. That's what's at stake. That is what this election was about here in Boston."

Markwayne Mullin Joins The GOP Sgt. Schultz Caucus

Sen. Markwayne Mullin has the Republican standard answer to Trump's criminality down pat... "I see nothing!"

As we discussed here, Jebus Johnson pulls this stunt all the time, and did so again this week when asked about Trump feigning ignorance on his pardoning of a crypto billionaire:

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) played dumb after President Donald Trump stated that he did not know that he had pardoned a crypto billionaire.

During a press conference on Monday, CNN's Manu Raju noted that Trump claimed to "know nothing" about Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, even though the president had pardoned him after his company boosted the Trump family's crypto business.

"Last week, you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen & pardons. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?" Raju asked.

"I don't know anything about that," Johnson deflected. "I didn't see the interview. You have to ask the president about that. I'm not sure."

This Monday, it was one of the contestants for dumbest member of the United States Senate, Markwayne Mullin, took his turn during an appearance on Kaitlan Collins show on CNN.

Pam Bondi Scrambles To Retroactively Appoint Comey Prosecutor

Attorney General Pam Bondi took the unusual step of trying to retroactively appoint Lindsey Halligan as Special Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after former FBI Director James Comey claimed that her appointment was not legitimate.

Following his indictment in September, Comey filed a motion to dismiss based on the claim that Halligan's appointment as interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia had been invalid.

Halligan's appointment followed another interim U.S. attorney's refusal to indict Comey.

"The official who purported to secure and sign the indictment was invalidly appointed to her position as interim U.S. Attorney," Comey's motion said.

On Monday, Bondi suggested that Comey's indictment could not be dismissed because she retroactively appointed Halligan as "special attorney."

"On September 22, 2025, I exercised the authority vested in the Attorney General by 28 U.S.C. § 546 to designate and appoint Lindsey Halligan as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia," Bondi wrote in an order dated Oct. 31.
