The election-related headline I least expected

As much as I dislike Rahm Emanuel (from his time in Chicago), what he said right before the election makes a lot of sense.
"I mean, look, I'm very straightforward that, in Tuesday, the Republicans will lose. What the Democrats do in 2027 will determine whether we have won. And what I mean by that is, I'm absolutely for all the hearings about follow the money, Venezuelan money, oil deals with Russia, everything, what the Witkoff and Trump children have. Follow the money.
What you should do immediately within the first three months is pass an ethics package, five quick things for all three branches of government, no stock trading, no prediction market participation, mandatory blind trust, mandatory retirement age or term limits, and what I call fifth and finally the Kushner rule, no foreign money while you're in service or for two years afterwards.
And the Democrats, if you get that type of change done, you will deliver a victory to yourselves and to the American people. Pass a minimum wage. Hasn't been passed since 2007, when we took control. Third, restrict the tariffs. Both of the last two deal with affordability. The first one deals with the ethics and corruption around this administration.
Vote and give the public, in fast order, both on speed and substance, a down payment on change. You will not only tell the coalition that voted you into the majority. You heard them and you acted, and then, B, setting up 2028, which is, we are the party of change, that is the party of corrupt failed status quo."
If it is vetoed, Dems have an election point, if it is passed, they get a win for Americans.

I do not like Rahm Emanuel either, he's old school and we need fresh politicians. But this is, I think, good advice. There is no reason this cannot happen while accountability gets underway in January. The other thing I think the Democrats need to do is look at the white, non-college educated and try to figure out what they need and want. They are one group the Democrats still lose to Republicans. Also, white women seem reluctant to get on board with Democrats. Although both groups showed movement away from red towards blue last night, they are a weak point for Democrats.

justicevengeance is the same crap MAGA was crying for in 24. It accomplished nothing. That route leads to sure defeat in 28 unless they seriously deliver results for people.Get busy working for your constituents and quit looking in the rear view mirror. Trump had four years to plan. I’m pretty sure everything he did that can be verified was legal even if not highly ethical.

MAGA crap accomplished nothing because their bogus cases were based on fictions. Figments of their conspiracy rotted minds and their refusal to accept facts as facts.
But there will be accountability for the illegality, corruption, and crimes of the Trump administration, of this I am positive.
