If Democrats had spent much of President Donald Trump’s second term searching for a way to break his grip on Washington, voters had now handed them one. The midterms generated a blue wave that swept Republicans out of power in the House and the Senate, reversing the party’s fortunes just two years after Trump’s return to the White House. The results amounted to a decisive rebuke of a President whose handling of the economy, rising prices, and the war with Iran had fueled widespread discontent, and who spent the closing days of the campaign musing about candidates’ anatomy and dismissing Americans’ concerns over their bottom line.
For the first time since Trump returned to Washington, Democrats will be able to set the legislative agenda, compel testimony from Administration officials, investigate allegations of corruption, and force Republicans to take difficult votes. Party leaders see an opportunity to turn the public’s discontent with Trump into a sustained argument for returning Democrats to the White House in 2028.
Interviews with more than two dozen Democratic leaders, strategists, and members of Congress reveal a party itching to fight on nearly every front the President has opened. But when the midterm victory laps conclude, the Democrats’ deeper problems will be waiting for them. Even leading up to their midterm victory, surveys showed the party remains unpopular. Its leaders are divided over how far left to move, what kind of economic message will win back the voters who abandoned them in 2024, and how aggressively to confront Trump.

Pushback against data centers may alter the course of the midterms.
Take Ohio. The state has some 200 data centers, making it one of the biggest hubs in the country. In a former swing state that went red in the Trump era, Republicans admit the groundswell of political opposition to data centers has created a political opening for Democrats.
By themselves, data centers don’t rank as a top-tier national campaign issue, according to voters—in a recent survey, the economy, the future of democracy, health care, education, and immigration made up the top five. But Democratic candidates have sought to connect data centers to many of those themes.
They’re promising to ease affordability concerns by cracking down on high electricity bills through data center restrictions, pledging to strengthen democracy by fighting Silicon Valley’s opaque deals to get facilities built, casting AI companies as puppet masters in an unequal economy, and painting their political rivals as corrupt leaders seeking to curry favor from powerful companies.
The wave of populist anger has “become the one thing that unites Americans right now,” says Megan Mullin, a UCLA political science professor. “They connect to bigger themes that are becoming really important in American politics—around affordability, around energy affordability, around suspicion and discomfort about AI, about populist resistance to the accumulation of wealth and tech titans.”

@sachabaroncohen has spent a career provoking people through his larger than life characters.
“I’ve always designed my characters and comedy as vehicles to expose prejudice, bias, and stupidity, though I realize not everyone sees them that way,” writes Baron Cohen in a new essay for TIME.
This list of people Baron Cohen has pulled pranks on includes powerful politicians, including Donald Trump, who he interviewed as Ali G two decades ago. So why is Baron Cohen reviving Ali G for his new film?
“The world he’s returned to is, in many ways, worse than the one he left twenty years ago,” writes Baron Cohen. “All the prejudices I’ve spent the past decades exposing haven’t just lingered—they’ve metastasized.”
Now, in an increasingly polarized society and media environment, Baron Cohen wants to know how people find commonality through a shared human experience.
“I made this latest film for the same reason I’ve always done this work,” Baron Cohen writes. “Not only to make people laugh, but to bring them face-to-face with the danger of fanaticism and conspiracy theories.”
“As satire has done since ancient times, it can help sound the alarm.”
“Ali G: Who Iz I?” releases October 23.

Why wrestle with figuring it out yourself when a chatbot is happy to get you started? Yet before you hand over the task, experts suggest one small change: Write down three ideas of your own. They can be rough, impractical, or destined for the recycling bin. The point is to give yourself a chance to think before someone—or something—else supplies the answer.
We asked the experts what leaning on AI too much can do to our thinking and how to brainstorm. Read more at the link in bio.

Artificial intelligence models have, in recent months, hacked a multibillion-dollar company, meddled with government data, and even filed a fabricated homicide tip to police, all under the noses of their creators. They did so not in pursuit of world domination, but to maximize their scores on tests. In other words, they cheated.
On Nov. 5, AI interpretability startup Goodfire unveiled a technique it says sharply reduces that impulse. In a paper shared exclusively with TIME ahead of publication, researchers use signals from inside models to reward them not just for getting the right answer, but for getting there in the right way. In early tests, the technique could also make models less eager to tell users what they wanted to hear and even discourage medical-image recognition models from relying on misleading clues.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump acknowledged that the war in Iran likely contributed to Republican losses in Tuesday’s midterm elections, echoing Vice President JD Vance, who said the war was the reason the party lost. But Trump insisted he would “do it again,” arguing that preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon was “the only answer.”

Meta's Muse—which comes with a cuddly avatar—was designed by the company to be beginner-friendly, and to win over people unfamiliar with AI. “Muse is built for moms,” Alexandr Wang, Meta’s chief AI officer, posted on X in September. Meta is also aggressively marketing Muse to Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp users. And it's working: many older users who may have only had glancing interactions with AI have become avid users.
But Muse is also raising major concerns from privacy experts. Technology correspondent Andrew Chow spoke wtih Muse users and experts about how Muse is being used and the risks for AI, Explained by Humans. Read the full story at the link in bio.

The scale of the Democrats’ victory on Election Day was staggering: they seized control of both the House and Senate with ease. They captured governorships and Senate seats by commanding margins in traditionally Republican states, and prevailed in House districts gerrymandered to favor the GOP. The wipeout was a clear repudiation of President Donald Trump. Across the country, the President’s handpicked candidates went down to resounding defeats, including scandal-plagued Ken Paxton in Texas and Darlene Graham, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, in South Carolina—nominees he had elevated over the objections of party leaders who believed other Republicans stood a better chance.
For more than a decade, Trump has commanded a degree of loyalty from Republicans unmatched in modern politics, bending lawmakers to his will and making dissent a career-ending proposition. The trouncing the GOP suffered on Nov. 3, coupled with the growing perception that Trump has become a political liability, could usher in a very different final two years for a lame-duck President, causing his grip on the GOP to finally slacken.
