On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben and Brett break down the historic Democratic blue tsunami that swept across the country in the midterm elections—and the extraordinary MAGA meltdown unfolding in its aftermath. As Democrats rack up stunning victories in traditionally Republican strongholds, Trump's inner circle is turning on itself, top officials are resigning, and Republicans are scrambling to assign blame for their devastating losses. The brothers discuss the resignation of DOJ Civil Rights chief Harmeet Dhillon, growing calls for Pete Hegseth's impeachment, and whether furious lame-duck Republicans will finally turn against Trump. Meanwhile, Trump appears to have learned nothing from the election, obsessing over renovations to the Oval Office and White House ballroom while threatening further escalation in his catastrophic war with Iran. Plus, the absurdity of CENTCOM launching an influencer-style podcast in the middle of a war, Melania Trump's bizarre praise of Russia, JD Vance's attempts to distance himself from the disaster, and what Democrats' sweeping victories mean for the future of American politics. And much more.

A FEW COMMENTS:  I’m so relieved! I feel like there’s hope for America and a smothering weight has been lifted off of me. It turns out, America HATES dictators! Mike Pence stood up to Trump and said no! I will not let you include me in your crimes. Vance doesn’t not have the dignity or integrity or honor for the Constitution. He is a follower, a yes man. Now it's time for the Dems to come together and get to work. Let's get the best and brightest on the committees in order to fund our social programs, let's get the right people in place to hold the grifters accountable, get money out of politics, restructure the corrupt supreme court and release the Epstein files. We've got work and we need to pull together to get it done. Has any elected leaders talked specifically about immediate action to close the detention centers and rescuing the men ,women, children and babies imprisoned? Can not wait to see this orange POS OUT of our WH & lives!!!! trump is old now. If you watch one of his 2024 campaign videos and one of his recent videos - boy, can you see the difference! US, you need to get rid of him. I have spent my career landmarking buildings and this is not how it works. YNWA! I only have one regret from Tuesday. That is that lyin' Ted was not standing. Woulda been so sweet to see his ass handed to him. Next time though. My nearly 3 year old grandson is more mature than the orange turd. And he calls people donut head. :-) Close the loopholes! Constitutional amendments I'm beginning to think, based on observation, that Trump will be less likely to fight a Democrat majority over policy issues. His focus remains on himself and his "projects." I'm now thinking he will trade non-interference for permission to continue working on his vanity. Congress may agree (distraction), only to dismantle them when Trump departs. Trump had a comment about finding him if anyone dismantled the Oval Office, 6’ under? @elliottobermanprofile34m https://afightworthhaving.com/leadership2026?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=137-demand-new-leadership-nov-6-leadership-petition Every country leader is concerned about their country, their economy, their progress to make the country better, then there’s Trump, like a child playing with a doll house, interested in only appearance! Wish we had gotten FL also......but I guess that is what the people of FL wanted. In regards to the blame game......each and everyone needs to start with themselves, they made the choice to follow him/support him and go along. Says all that needs to be said about that group of people in my opinion. They need to own their past choices! Caine and Cooper are just as much war criminals as Kegsbreath, trump, vance and rubio. Dems must produce economic change and healthcare and that has to start immediately alongside all the investigations If you read their plans, you'll see their TOP PRIORITIES: HEALTHCARE & SUBSIDIES, FOOD PROGRAMS, things that provide immediate relief & benefits.... Remember - you have smart people who understand what matters - they've been listening to VOTERS forever! Dissolving a government is a good strategy. No resentful lawmakers knocking around in a lame duck government. A fresh start.

🌧️ Rainy, with a high of 69. Good Morning Boston, Our streak of unseasonably warm, dry weather ends today, but at least it's Friday. Let's get to the news: C you later: The MBTA is kicking off another sprawling nine-day Green Line diversion this weekend — and permanently closing one stop. Both closures are related to the T's multimillion-dollar effort to make its aboveground stops ADA compliant. (The agency is also installing 17 miles of new cables as part of its project to replace the Green Line tunnel's Gilded Age-era signal system.) The diversion: This Saturday through next Sunday (Nov. 7-15), the entire Green Line tunnel will be closed, from North Station to Kenmore. The entire C branch out to Cleveland Circle and the E branch to Heath Street will also be suspended. And the B branch will be suspended between Kenmore and Babcock Street. Click here or scroll below for the T's guide to alternative transit options (many of which are free). FYI: The T says it has no plans this time to do signal work on the Orange Line while also diverting Green Line riders onto Orange Line. That happened during the recent Green Line closure over Halloween weekend, which led to long Orange Line waits and outraged transit watchdogs. " We think it's really important that shutdowns have good mitigation," Chris Friend, the interim executive director of TransitMatters, told WBUR's Rachell Sanchez-Smith, adding the group was "disappointed" because "that didn't seem to be the case" last weekend. (According to an T spokesperson, last weekend's Orange Line delays were exacerbated by several other issues, including an unplanned signal problem, a stuck train door and a trespasser on the tracks.) The forever closure: Friday is your last chance to use the Green Line's Fairbanks Street stop. The C branch stop is closing permanently Saturday and being consolidated into an upgraded Brandon Hall stop (which is a three-minute walk down Beacon Street). Up next: The T is also planning to close the Green Line's Kent Street stop later this year. Officials say removing the two bunched-up stops could make C branch rides up to a minute faster. A diagram of the Nov. 7-15 partial closure of the Green Line and alternative transit options. (MBTA) Full blown: Vineyard Wind, the 62-turbine offshore wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts, is now fully up and running. WBUR's Miriam Wasser broke the news this morning that the project quietly reached full commercial operations last Thursday, Oct. 29. Miriam has more here on the long and sometimes bumpy journey it took for Vineyard Wind to reach this milestone. The news came just hours after Revolution Wind, a slightly smaller wind farm nearby with contracts with Connecticut and Rhode Island, announced it had reached full power Thursday. The two projects combined have the capacity to generate enough electricity for 750,000 homes. It's over: The Associated Press officially called Question 5 for the "no" side yesterday, a day after supporters of the ballot measure had conceded defeat. The latest count shows just over 52% of voters cast ballots against the measure to tweak the state's Chapter 62F revenue cap/rebate law. Watch this (5,000-square foot) space: It's also not looking great for Question 7, the state's last uncalled ballot question. With 97.6% of precincts reporting, the no side has a more than 33,000 vote advantage over supporters of the ballot question to make it easier to build homes on small lots. It's also over: After a two-month strike, Encore Boston Harbor workers and management have reached a deal to end the work stoppage. The unions representing the casino's housekeepers, cooks, servers and other workers announced last night that they had ratified a new collective bargaining agreement (details of the deal weren't immediately available). Meanwhile in Maine: Former Gov. Paul LePage appears to be headed to Congress. In the race for Maine's open 2nd Congressional District, Democrat Matt Dunlap conceded to LePage yesterday. The 78-year-old is poised to be New England's first GOP member of the House since 2019, just as the region becomes Republican-less in the Senate for the first time since the Civil War . The district's current congressman, centrist Democratic Rep. Jaren Golden, announced he wouldn't seek reelection last fall after Dunlap announced a primary challenge from his left. Zoom out: Here's a look at the national House and Senate races that still haven't been called. In court: Closing arguments are expected today in the federal trial of former Stoughton police officer Matthew Farwell. The 40-year-old is accused of killing Sandra Birchmore, a pregnant 23-year-old, in 2021 to keep her from revealing their sexual relationship that allegedly began when she was 15. The Associated Press has a recap of how the trial has unfolded so far. P.S.— The Arlington International Film Festival has a new name. Do you know what it is? Then take our Boston News Quiz.
