Trump appears to jab defeated Republicans, saying it’s ‘easy’ to win elections ‘when you talk about the facts’
President Donald Trump appeared to take a swipe at Republican candidates who lost on Tuesday while addressing the America Business Forum in Miami, Fla., on Wednesday. After listing a series of his accomplishments, Trump said it’s “so easy to win elections when you talk about the facts.” “Almost 2 million American-born workers are employed today, more than when I took office. That’s nine months ago. Can you imagine?” Trump said. “And I tell Republicans, if you want to win elections, you gotta talk about these facts. You know, it’s so easy to win elections when you talk about the facts.” He then added that, “These are things you have to talk about. It doesn’t just happen, you got to tell them. It’s wonderful to do them, but if people don’t talk about them, then you can do not so well in elections.” OPIONION: ARE YOU BETTER OFF SINCE DONALD TRUMP TOOK OFFICE? On Tuesday, Republicans lost several major races, including gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia, as well as the mayoral race in New York City. While Trump backed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for mayor over Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, he still made the jab at Republicans generally. “One year ago, we were a dead country. Now we’re a country that’s considered [one of] the hottest countries anywhere in the world,” Trump said, crediting his administration with getting 600,000 Americans off of food stamps and creating jobs for 1.9 million Americans. He highlighted the supposed increase in jobs, saying that nearly 2 million more Americans were employed than when he entered office less than a year ago. SOCIALIST SHOCKWAVE: ZOHRAN MAMDANI STUNS NYC AS VOTERS HAND POWER TO DEMOCRATS’ FAR-LEFT FLANK While Trump touted his achievements for the working class, Zohran Mamdani, hot off his victory in New York City, gave a different analysis earlier Wednesday. During an appearance on “Good Morning America,” Mamdani contrasted himself and Trump. Mamdani argued that, unlike the president, he is ready to solve the “cost of living crisis” for Americans who are struggling. Mamdani also said that Trump is “someone who ran an entire presidential campaign on the promise of cheaper groceries and is now, as the president, making it harder for Americans to afford those groceries by cutting SNAP benefits.” Trump, who was marking the anniversary of being elected for a second presidential term, did not shy away from taking a swipe at Mamdani as well. “We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York, but we’ll take care of that. Don’t worry about it,” he told the crowd in Miami on Wednesday. Republicans have largely blamed the lapse in SNAP benefits on Democrats as the parties battle it out in D.C. amid the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Vulnerable House Dem criticizes ‘extreme’ left in shocking 2026 announcement
A House Democrat representing a district that President Donald Trump won in 2024 is not seeking re-election next year. Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, announced his plans in an op-ed for the Bangor Daily News on Wednesday, a day after Democrats’ sweeping electoral victories in Virginia, New Jersey, California and New York City. “I have never loved politics. But I find purpose and meaning in service, and the Marine in me has been able to slog along through the many aspects of politics I dislike by focusing on the good work that Congress is capable of producing with patience and determination,” Golden wrote. “But after 11 years as a legislator, I have grown tired of the increasing incivility and plain nastiness that are now common from some elements of our American community — behavior that, too often, our political leaders exhibit themselves.” HEAD HERE FOR FOX NEWS ELECTION 2025 COVERAGE Golden has represented Maine’s 2nd Congressional District since 2019. He’s managed to hold on to the seat through his constituents voting for President Donald Trump in both 2020 and 2024. The moderate Democrat — also a Marine Corps veteran — has been known to frequently break from his own party, including on the recent government shutdown vote in September. He shared more of his concerns with the left in his retirement announcement, criticizing both Republicans and Democrats for the current state of politics in the country. “We have seen mainstream Republicans stand by as their party was hijacked first by Tea Party obstructionists and then by the MAGA movement and its willingness to hand much of Congress’ authority to the president,’ Golden wrote. “I fear Democrats are going down the same path. We’re allowing the most extreme, pugilistic elements of our party to call the shots. Just look again at the shutdown. For as long as I can remember, we have opposed shutting down the government over policy disputes. We criticized Republicans for taking hostages this way. But this year, reeling from the losses of the last election, too many Democrats have given into demands that we use the same no-holds-barred, obstructionary tactics as the GOP.” And despite his seat being a prime target for Republicans every two years, Golden said that did not factor into his decision. “I don’t fear losing. What has become apparent to me is that I now dread the prospect of winning. Simply put, what I could accomplish in this increasingly unproductive Congress pales in comparison to what I could do in that time as a husband, a father and a son,” he wrote. “I have long supported term limits and while current law allows me to run again, I like the idea of ending my service in Congress after eight years — the length of term limits in the Maine Legislature.” SOCIALIST SHOCKWAVE: ZOHRAN MAMDANI STUNS NYC AS VOTERS HAND POWER TO DEMOCRATS’ FAR-LEFT FLANK Golden’s seat had been ranked a “toss-up” by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, which also rated his district slightly in favor of the GOP at R+4. House Republicans’ campaign arm wasted no time in seizing on Golden’s announcement, releasing its own statement shortly after his op-ed was published. “Serial flip-flopper Jared Golden’s exit from Congress says it all: He’s turned his back on Mainers for years and now his chickens are coming home to roost. He, nor any other Democrat, has a path to victory in ME-02 and Republicans will flip this seat red in 2026,” National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole said in a release to reporters. Beyond his frustration with partisan politics, however, Golden also revealed that the heightened political environment also pushed him to re-consider his congressional career. Golden said earlier this year that he and his family had to spend Thanksgiving in a hotel room after receiving a bomb threat at their home. House Democrats’ campaign arm thanked Golden for his service in its own statement upon his retirement. “I sincerely commend Jared for all the work he has done for Mainers, from lowering costs to protecting lobstermen’s jobs and fighting for veterans,” Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chair Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., said. “He has devoted his life so far to service, first as a Marine, then in the Maine legislature, and in Congress since 2019. He embodies Maine’s independent spirit and I wish him and his family all the best in their next chapter.”
Israel kills one in south Lebanon as Bekaa Valley still reels from war
Beirut, Lebanon – An Israeli air strike on southern Lebanon has killed one person and wounded another, Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health says, as Israel ramps up its cross-border attacks in defiance of a ceasefire. The ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that an “Israeli enemy raid” struck a car in the town of Burj Rahal in the southern district of Tyre. Recommended Stories list of 4 itemsend of list “The attack resulted in the martyrdom of one citizen and the injury of another,” the statement read, without identifying the dead. Lebanon’s National News Agency said the attack happened near a school, triggering panic among students and prompting parents to rush to collect their children amid scenes of fear and chaos. Ceasefire under strain The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strike, which was the latest in a series of its attacks across southern Lebanon, despite a ceasefire signed on November 27, 2024. Israeli forces remain deployed in at least five areas of Lebanon’s south as they carry out near-daily air raids that Israel says target Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure. On Monday, two people were killed and seven wounded in separate attacks in southern Lebanon. A day earlier, Israeli raids in Nabatieh killed four people, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. Inside Lebanon, the continued bombardment has heightened fears of a renewed war, as Israeli and United States officials press the Lebanese government to force Hezbollah to disarm. Israeli military intelligence has claimed in recent days that Hezbollah is attempting to rebuild its military capabilities. A Hezbollah spokesperson denied reports of expanded military activity or attempts to restore its elite units. Advertisement “Israel fabricates stories and claims to justify its attacks,” the spokesperson told Lebanon’s L’Orient Today newspaper on Monday. Hezbollah was severely weakened after the Israeli escalation in September 2024, which killed its longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah. Since the November ceasefire, the group has responded to Israeli attacks only once. Hezbollah officials have repeatedly said the group will not disarm, saying that relinquishing its weapons would leave southern Lebanon exposed to an Israeli invasion. Baalbek still under fire Nearly a year after Israel’s wide-scale bombing campaign across Lebanon, residents in the eastern Bekaa Valley say they are still living under persistent Israeli threats. In Baalbek, a city known for its Roman ruins and considered part of Hezbollah’s heartland, Israeli strikes continue to target what the Israeli military describes as Hezbollah’s “logistical and operational base”. But many civilians also remain under constant bombardment. “What is happening now isn’t short of a war. It is a war,” Abu Ali, a resident of Baalbek, told Al Jazeera. “There is so much talk about targeting Baalbek, and this is scaring people away,” added another resident, Ali Chokair. Much of the Bekaa region remains scarred by last year’s Israeli strikes, leaving one of Lebanon’s poorest areas struggling to rebuild. Lebanon under pressure to negotiate Israeli and US officials are pressing for Hezbollah’s disarmament, with US ambassador Tom Barrack urging the armed group to begin a dialogue with Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Sunday that the army would “act as necessary” if Lebanon failed to ensure Hezbollah handed over its weapons. “We expect the Lebanese government to fulfil its commitment – to disarm Hezbollah – but it is clear we will exercise our right of self-defence under the terms of the ceasefire,” he said. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has said the country has “no choice but to negotiate” with Israel to avoid a wider conflict. But many in Baalbek and southern Lebanon oppose any talks that could lead to Hezbollah’s disarmament, Hussein Osman, who runs a restaurant in Baalbek, refused to flee when the Israeli army ordered residents to leave during last year’s war. Like many Hezbollah supporters, he questions Lebanon’s decision to negotiate with Israel, which is attacking the region almost every day. “We would support any negotiation that works for the benefit of the resistance,” he said. “But any negotiation that involves disarming the resistance is not accepted … These weapons protect us and allowed us to stay in our homes.” Advertisement Adblock test (Why?)
The Price of Truth
Al Jazeera’s journalists risk everything to report on Israel’s war on Gaza, enduring adversity, displacement, and the deaths of their colleagues and families. As Israel’s two-year war on Gaza has unfolded, Al Jazeera has told the story through its journalists on the ground, who’ve risked everything to bring the conflict to the world’s attention. This three-part series chronicles the network’s coverage and the personal toll on its staff, at least 10 of whom have been killed since the war began on October 7, 2023. It begins by following Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh during the war’s first weeks as relentless bombing threatens his team and also claims the lives of his wife, children and grandson. The second episode moves south, following Al Jazeera’s Arabic and English correspondents as they report from tents amid the destruction, enduring further tragedy when al-Dahdouh’s son Hamza and cameraman Samer Abudaqa are killed. The final part covers the war’s later months when more colleagues, including Ismail al-Ghoul and Anas al-Sharif, are killed. The series stands as a tribute to their collective courage, resilience and sacrifice. Episode one: The first episode follows Al Jazeera’s journalists under fire in Gaza at the start of the war in October 2023. In Gaza City, Wael al-Dahdouh leads the network’s coverage through the relentless early weeks of Israel’s assault. As air strikes pound the area around their office, al-Dahdouh and his team work in constant danger, covering the devastation and civilian suffering while struggling to keep themselves and their families safe. Then tragedy strikes: al-Dahdouh’s wife, son, daughter and grandson are killed in an Israeli air strike. Despite these losses, he continues to report live from the rooftop of Al Jazeera’s office – until the danger becomes too great and he and his team are finally forced to flee and head south where they’ll be based for the coming weeks. Through al-Dahdouh’s story, the film captures the fear, chaos and heartbreak of the war – and the journalists’ determination to keep reporting on it, whatever the cost. Episode two (coming soon on 12 November): After the devastating opening months of Israel’s war on Gaza, the second episode shifts to southern Gaza. Here, Al Jazeera’s Arabic- and English-speaking correspondents and crews face increasing danger as they establish makeshift operations in tents amid the widespread destruction, turning temporary shelters into news centres. These include Al Jazeera English’s three main correspondents, Hani Mahmoud, Tareq Abu Azzoum and Hind Khoudary. The team suffers yet more personal tragedy when al-Dahdouh loses his son Hamza, killed in an Israeli air strike with Abudaqa while reporting on an Israeli attack. Correspondent Momin al-Alshrafi loses 22 members of his family in an air strike on the Jabalia refugee camp, and another correspondent, al-Ghoul, goes missing for 12 hours before re-establishing contact. Intimate footage and firsthand accounts show network journalists continuing to report under diabolical conditions, documenting the unfolding genocide with extraordinary courage. Episode three (coming soon on 19 November): The concluding episode chronicles the war’s final months before a ceasefire begins in October. Al Jazeera’s journalists continue their coverage despite the destruction caused by the relentless Israeli bombing, mounting casualties and intolerable working conditions across Gaza. Israel’s targeting of journalists becomes ever clearer as the violence claims more lives, including highly respected correspondents al-Ghoul and al-Sharif. The Israeli military also continues to attack medical facilities, including Nasser Hospital, where a Reuters cameraman is killed. Rescuers attending the scene and media covering the shooting are then hit in a second, follow-up attack, which kills Al Jazeera cameraman Mohammed Salama. These were not just personal tragedies but had all the appearance of systematic targeting of Al Jazeera staff covering the war and the genocide. This final film captures how the network’s teams battled on through grief, maintaining their professional standards and their mission amid the collective trauma.
