Summary

This week on The Final Word, the voters said “Not today, Satan—and not in 2028 either.” Democrats swept elections across multiple states, flipping governorships, legislative chambers, and ballot measures like it was a clearance sale on common sense.

California passed Proposition 50 with a strong 64%—giving Democrats the power to redraw five congressional districts in response to Republican gerrymandering. Because if you’re gonna play dirty, don’t be mad when the other side brings a mop.

Meanwhile, Trump blamed the losses on the government shutdown—and reminded us, he wasn’t even on the ballot. Sir, your fingerprints are all over this mess like a toddler in a pudding cup.

The shutdown just broke records:

  • SNAP benefits delayed
  • Insurance costs spiking
  • And the FAA cutting air traffic by 10% in 40 major markets just to keep planes from playing bumper cars.

And finally, we drag the corporate-owned legacy media for failing to cover any of this with the urgency it deserves. Because when billionaires own the headlines, the truth gets buried under stock tickers and celebrity gossip.

Tune in for the receipts, the rage, and the righteous read—because this week’s final word is: “If democracy’s a fight, we came swinging.”
