While the large Democratic majority in the House makes it easier for Jeffries to maneuver leading up to the leadership vote, and given that no challenger has stepped forward to take him on directly, the betting money is still safe that Jeffries will be the next Speaker of the House.

Communist Party of Israel: Four Scenarios for Forming a New Government
The position of the Joint List
These are times that call for a stand to oust Netanyahu and his fascist allies. Therefore, despite the incitement and the racism, the Joint List recommended Eisenkot to the Israeli president for the latter do not have any excuse of calling for a unity government, and as a fulfillment of the will of over 500,000 Arab Palestinian and Jewish voters who wish to see Netanyahu ousted.
According to CPI and Hadash, toppling this government is a historic task. The danger posed by the Netanyahu-Ben-Gvir-Smotrich government goes beyond discrimination, home demolitions and the spread of crime and racism afflicting our communities. It is a government of war, extermination and displacement in Gaza, of deepening occupation and settlement, of unchecked settler terror in the West Bank, and of a drive to liquidate the Palestinian cause. Its continuation threatens the whole region, and the presence of President Trump in the White House raises the danger further by offering cover for war, annexation and displacement. Hence, the results of the midterm elections in the US could hold positive prospectives regarding an alternation in US foreign policy especially in matters of supporting Israel’s continuous violations of international law in the Palestinian Occupied Territories and the region.
House GOP erupts at Stephen Miller as Trump elevates him after midterm massacre: ‚Megalomaniac‘
Several Republican lawmakers are fuming over President Donald Trump’s elevation of Stephen Miller to be his chief of staff.
„Horrible decision,“ Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., told Fox News Digital on Friday after Trump announced his decision.
A Republican lawmaker who was granted anonymity to speak candidly said they were in „utter disbelief.“
Tensions were rising against Miller in the wake of Republicans’ terrible performance in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Multiple House Republicans who spoke with Fox News Digital just moments before his promotion said Miller, who spearheads Trump’s immigration policy, should be fired.
Stephen Miller replaces Susie Wiles as Trump‘s White House chief of staff after GOP‘s midterm defeat
Miller, long a member of Trump‘s tight inner circle, is a key architect of the administration‘s hard-line immigration policies. He is one of Trump‘s longest-serving aides, joining his long-shot 2016 presidential campaign as a speechwriter. He most recently has served as White House deputy chief of staff for policy and oversees a broad portfolio, though he is best known for his role in Trump‘s immigration policy.
Former Trump staffer calls for Wiles to resign over midterm wipeout
(November 5, 2026)
Sunshine said Wiles remaining in her role could cost Republicans again in 2028 and that “if she loves and respects the president and his legacy, she’ll do the right thing and step aside.”
“And a lot of this was staff failure, a lot of this was strategy and messaging failure,” Sunshine said. “It’s the chief of staff’s job to manage the staff. … Why wasn’t the staff out messaging?”
Who should be Speaker?
Not Hakeem Jeffries. Add your name.
Are the Corporate Democrats Gonna Blow This Again?
For its own survival and that of our republic—and the success of our 2028 candidate for president—the Democratic Party must now reject the neoliberals within its own ranks and makes a forceful argument for returning to the systems of Reconstruction, the New Deal, and the Great Society that protected and enriched working class people in the previous cycles.
If Democrats again embrace neoliberals like Rahm Emmanuel (who’s pretty much openly campaigning for the 2028 presidential election), they’ll fail at this critical work and messaging: that could well doom our American experiment in liberal democracy.

BREAKING NEWS: Angie Nixon Delivers Fiery Concession Speech After Losing Florida Senate Race
Angie Nixon delivers her concession speech after losing the Florida Senate race.
Angie Nixon Will Run Again
Moody will have to run again for a full term in 2028. Given how close the matchup between Moody and Nixon ended up, the energetic progressive insurgent is expected to try again.
“The sky’s the limit for her because now she also has a national following because her campaign has gotten so much national attention, and it also shows the power of grassroots campaigning,” says Austin. “Even though she didn’t win the election, a lot of people really listened to her, and she had a message that a lot of people really wanted to hear.”
Angie Nixon could have won Florida. National Democrats failed her
She lost to incumbent Ashley Moody, who was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis to fill the seat left vacant by Marco Rubio’s confirmation as secretary of state, by less than two percentage points. Moody outspent Nixon by more than double to barely eke out a majority.
El-Sayed Full Victory Speech
Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) delivered victory remarks Tuesday night as he was leading former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) in the Michigan U.S. Senate race.

They are Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez in New York; Melat Kiros in Colorado; Angela Gonzales-Torres in California; Donavan McKinney in Michigan; and Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania.
The Democratic Socialists of America Score Big Wins in Congress
It was a big night for candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America. In Florida, DSA candidate Angie Nixon nearly defeated incumbent Republican Senator Ashley Moody, even though Nixon was vastly outspent and only received support from national Democratic leaders in the waning days of the race. Here in New York City, two DSA-backed candidates, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez, won congressional seats along with former City Comptroller Brad Lander. All three were endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in their competitive primary races.
Well Done, America
Well that was a night. The glad spectacle of a newly sentient America tottering back to its capacious ideals was dubbed Orange Crush, Bluenami, a political earthquake, a wily tweak to Hegseth’s coveted public execution and “one of the great acts of defiance in American history.” It was both landslide too big to rig or stop and “extinction-level” rout. Above all, it was a thunderous rejection of fear, greed, lies, cruelty, war-mongering, authoritarianism. Tell your kids, urged Abdul El-Sayed, “The bad guys lost.”
Republicans turn on Trump after devastating midterm losses hand Democrats control of Congress

„We had a great map, and he hijacked [it],“ they continued.
Prop 40, the Billionaire Tax Act, Explained | SEIU-UHW
Our solution: Prop 40, The California Billionaire Tax Act
We’re calling on California’s billionaires to step up and pay a one-time, emergency 5% tax to prevent the collapse of California healthcare and help fund California public K-14 education and state food assistance programs. This would protect healthcare jobs and ensure working people and families can get the care they need. The tax would be paid only by Californians worth more than $1 billion — which is a bit over 200 people who hold a combined wealth of $2 trillion.
California could become the first state to tax billionaires’ wealth
The “no” side has raised roughly 10 times as much as the “yes” side, thanks in large part to tech moguls and venture capitalists, who have poured millions into a political action committee fighting the measure. Billionaires are already bracing for its approval. Some of them, including Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, started cutting ties with the state after the measure was unveiled. Mark Zuckerberg said he would stay in California for eight years and made a deal with Meta that would help him pay the tax without losing his ownership stake in the company.
