Raw Exclusives

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has a surprising theory about why Republicans lost the midterms, and she laughed off the most obvious fix.

In an exclusive video recorded Tuesday, Boebert scoffed when a reporter asked whether the party needs to moderate. "No, we're definitely moderate enough," she said. Pressed on whether she believed Republicans lost because they were too moderate, she didn't back down.

"I always think that we're too moderate," Boebert told Raw Story....

And now, it’s Miller Time.

Let’s just get this out of the way right off the top: Stephen Miller is a vile white nationalist piece of garbage who has done more to destroy the lives and the spirit of hard-working immigrant Americans than anyone in the nation’s history. He is profoundly cruel and without conscience, President Donald Trump’s monstrous, xenophobic attack dog, a man devoid of conscience, morals or decency.

Miller is single-handedly responsible for a brutal and unconscionable immigration policy that has separated and destroyed families, and an ICE policy that has terrorized communities and led to the traumatization of everyone with whom the masked thugs enforcing the incarcerations and deportations come into contact....

Forget the press secretary "joke." As Donald Trump seeks to survive the catastrophic fallout of the 2026 midterms, he doesn't need a new spokesperson. He needs a new gladiator at the Pentagon.

The internet has had a field day with Trump's Truth Social post offering Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White the White House press secretary job — with plenty of speculation that the president confused him with Dana W. White, the former Pentagon spokesperson.

Trump has since said he was only kidding. But look at what he actually wrote. He called White a "violent Fighter and Warrior." He wanted UFC champions as "assistants" to "defend us against the Lunatic Left." Um, OK....

I am a religious person: Donald Trump, "60 Minutes" Post Blue-Wave Interview.

Love your neighbor as yourself: Jesus, "Mark 12:28-31."

Well, that's a bit awkward. ...

Lauren Boebert, the last surviving member of a cohort of QAnon-linked Republicans elected to the U.S. House in 2020, lost her seat in Colorado’s 4^th Congressional District Monday in the aftermath of the blue midterm tsunami that swept the country.

The QAnon movement emerged during President Donald Trump’s first term as his supporters sought to deflect questions over Russia’s influence on the 2016 election by spinning a narrative that Trump was secretly battling an elitist cabal of pedophiles. Other Republican candidates aligned with QAnon who were elected in 2020 included Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina.

Boebert lost to Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a retired two-star United States Navy rear admiral who served on the National Security Council under President Joe Biden. With an estimated 98% of votes counted, Laubacher led 48.8% to 47.9%, a margin of 3,237 votes, according to CNN, which called the race on Monday. Libertarian Douglas Mangeris took 3.3%....

This column previously noted that anytime Trump finds himself in trouble, his only tool, his auto-response, is to apply more Trump. It couldn't matter in the least that the American people just handed Trump the clearest repudiation of him personally in recent history. Trump will — Trump must — believe that if he only worked a little harder at being Trump, everyone would love him. Anyone who disagrees deserves to be punished.

Enter Stephen Miller as new Chief of Staff, now unquestionably the second most powerful man in America, now set to deliver more Trump, which means worse Trump — yes, worse than before. Stephen is said to be there to "crack skulls."

Not that this is new; critics attribute the extrajudicial boat killings to Miller's policy; he's certainly responsible for the horrors documented in the detention centers, and we certainly don't know half of it. Jesse Watters calls Miller "based," which sounds like a hip-hop reference equating to "chill" or "cool."...

People in President Donald Trump’s orbit noticed an unsettling change after Republicans were dealt crushing midterm losses, according to author Michael Wolff.

Wolff, a journalist who has written several books about Trump, said on Thursday’s episode of “Inside Trump’s Head” that sources described a visible change in the president after Tuesday’s election, when Democrats seized control of both the House and Senate.

“The other interesting thing that I heard from two people, and they found it interesting and a little frightening, was that the day after he seemed markedly older,” Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles....

“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart had nothing but praise for “60 Minutes” personality Ross Douthat for his follow-up questions with Donald Trump in an interview aired Sunday night.

But what he really enjoyed was getting the president defending making money hand over fist with a question asked about former President Joe Biden, often called “Sleepy Joe” by Trump when he attempts to malign the former president’s mental acuity.

In the clip, at about the 6:45 minute mark, Douthat brought up reports that Trump now has a net worth of about $3 billion as he makes business deals while sitting in the Oval Office....

An election lawyer fresh from a deep-red state's ballot count says one embattled MAGA senator has hit a dead end.

Norm Eisen, the former White House ethics czar who served as counsel to House Democrats during President Donald Trump's first impeachment, told progressive commentator Brian Tyler Cohen in a Saturday episode of his YouTube show that Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) has no realistic path left to beat Democratic challenger Scott Colom. "It's a mathematical impossibility at this point for Senator Hyde-Smith," Eisen said.

Eisen, who said he spent three days in Mississippi and planned to head back the next day, pegged Colom's lead as "approaching a 3,000-vote margin." He compared the count to the 2000 Florida recount he worked on, when the gap bounced around in the hundreds....
