Comedian Jon Stewart on Thursday said that despite Democrats making major gains following Tuesday’s election, he thinks the party is still unpopular and in disarray.
On the latest episode of his podcast “The Weekly Show,” Stewart told MSNBC host Chris Hayes and “Pod Save America” co-host David Plouffe that he thinks “Democrats are still a mess.”

Dems plan probes into companies, colleges that cooperated with Trump
House and Senate Democrats are starting to have preliminary discussions to coordinate potential congressional investigations into companies, colleges and law firms in the next Congress, multiple sources told Axios.
Why it matters: The early strategizing on how Democrats plan to use the investigative power of committees, including subpoenas, is another indication of the party's growing confidence of victory in November.

The Nation - What if Democrats Didn’t Suck? With Morris Katz
Welcome to Fighting Fascism, a new podcast hosted by The Nation.

New York Democrats are looking beyond the battleground districts
Amid a hot streak of overperformances across the country and President Donald Trump’s slipping approval rating, New York Democrats are wondering: Why not try to flip a seat that Trump won by 20 points?
Unpopular moves from the Trump administration now have Democrats in the Empire State putting their political capital into a race in deep-red terrain — the latest indicator of how bullish they feel heading into the midterms, which will determine control of the House.

He's already started, as have the Republicans in Congress and most state houses. They're proposing all kinds of bills to reduce turnout and discourage early or mail voting. I get a definite idea that they're scared.

Barney Frank, entering hospice care, embarks on a final act: Taking on the left
Former Rep. Barney Frank, a liberal icon who was a key architect of the landmark Wall Street regulations Democrats enacted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, has entered hospice care at his home in Maine. And as one of his last acts, he is preparing to release a book repudiating his party’s left flank.
A champion of liberal causes during his 32 years representing Massachusetts in the House, Frank says progressive Democrats have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.”

Congressional Progressive Caucus unveils midterm agenda
The Congressional Progressive Caucus on Wednesday unveiled their new agenda ahead of the midterm elections to demonstrate a path for how the Democratic Party can tackle cost of living issues facing millions of Americans.
The caucus dubbed their plan the “New Affordability Agenda,” a legislative package that would focus on making costs behind common kitchen table issues more affordable. The bills “would also ban companies from using personal data and AI to set prices, guarantee every full time worker paid vacation time, increase overtime pay, and abolish Super PACs,” the lawmaking bloc said in a statement.

Read the DNC’s 2024 autopsy obtained by CNN
CNN is publishing a copy of a report into why Democrats lost the 2024 presidential election conducted at the request of Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin.
This version of the report – better known as the 2024 autopsy – was written by Democratic strategist Paul Rivera. The DNC withheld the report until presented with CNN’s reporting about much of its contents. The copy published by CNN includes annotations in red that the DNC added to its version of Rivera’s report. CNN has not modified the report and does not vouch for the accuracy of any statements within the report or the DNC’s annotations.

Re: Democrats Might Want to Put Her in Charge
CNN won't load until I give them information that I don't feel like giving them. Most news sites now either don't load or only partially load until you agree to let them steal data from your computer. Yes, it is Trump's fault, because his war doubled the price of oil and put everything into maximum inflation mode. Everyone's getting greedy.
With the story unread, I of course have no comment.
I will note that right now SoCal is in a fire mode more familiar in October, and we are seeing (and smelling) the consequences of the lack of a winter here this year. Fire fighters are also going on the Nooz complaining about drump's budget cuts severely depleting Federal fire fighting capability this year, which certainly explains why there seem to be fewer aircraft on some of these fires. The one on Santa Rosa Island, a federal preserve, isn't being fought at all, as far as I can see. They evacuated the island (very few people) and they appear OK with it taking the whole island and the national park resources on it.
It was started by a distress flare from a fishing boat. Really. Some joker with a flare gun burned the place to the ground. Just like in the song. Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky. (Cue guitar riff)
I'm sick of these non-winters and their catastrophic consequences, and I feel like every time someone dies the blood is on the hands of Congressional and Executive conservatives. They said climate wasn't an issue. Oops.
