"I am so deeply sorry. I thought better of us," Mary Trump posted on X (formerly Twitter ) in the early hours of November 5 after the election results emerged. Now, her initial dismay has quickly transformed into a call for organized resistance through her Monday Substack post titled "Democrats Fight Back," where she praised emerging coalitions while condemning internal party disputes. "Instead of pointing fingers and acting like the entire party has to be dismantled after an agonizingly close result, some elected Democrats are starting to focus their anger in the right direction," she wrote, highlighting a growing movement of opposition among Democratic officials. Newsweek contacted the Trump-JD Vance transition team via email on Monday for comment. Donald Trump secured victory over Kamala Harris with 312 electoral votes to the vice president's 226, according to final Associated Press projections. Republicans simultaneously retained control of the House and won a Senate majority of 52 seats, with John Thune of South Dakota winning the majority leader position in a 29-24 vote over John Cornyn. "It's easy, especially in the wake of the election, to get caught up in the rage and chaos generated by Donald and those in his orbit," Mary Trump said. "I empathize with feeling defeated and isolated. But in the midst of all the sturm and drang, there's an undercurrent of resistance as dedicated, qualified elected officials at all levels of government are refusing to go down without a fight." The president-elect's victory speech on November 5 in West Palm Beach, Florida, promised to "help our country heal" while celebrating what he called "a political victory that our country has never seen before." His national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, told Fox News that Day One priorities would include mass deportations of undocumented immigrants and signing an executive order to cut federal funding for schools "pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content." Mary Trump also praised the formation of "Governors Safeguarding Democracy," a coalition led by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Colorado Governor Jared Polis . "While Democrats in Congress , who find themselves once again in the minority, are speaking out and laying the groundwork to become the opposition party, blue state governors are leveraging their not-inconsiderable power to unite against the anticipated overreach of the federal government under Donald," she wrote. Meanwhile, Representative Melanie Stansbury, a New Mexico Democrat, warned about the incoming administration's appointments, saying they are "laying the ground for the purge that they plan on January 20 and in the days afterwards." Representative Jasmine Crockett , who is Black and a Democrat from Texas, delivered a powerful rebuke to claims that white males are oppressed, declaring, "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country.... We didn't ask to be here. We didn't run away from home, we were stolen." Mary Trump said: "Many of us have observed for a while now that those in Democratic leadership positions continue to shackle themselves to rules that no longer exist. Finally, it seems as though many others are recognizing that doesn't have to be the case." Economic concerns played a decisive role in Trump's victory, with exit polls showing widespread dissatisfaction with the country's direction. These sentiments particularly resonated in battleground states like Pennsylvania, where Republicans unseated two Democrats, and Michigan, where the GOP maintained its congressional advantage. House Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to retain his leadership position, with Trump saying he is "all the way" behind Johnson. The president-elect has also pledged to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table on his first day in office. "We're in this together. And together is how we'll get through it," Mary Trump concluded, emphasizing collective action as the path forward for the Democratic resistance.In the fast-paced world of scientific research, it is individuals like Li Chunlai and Xu Hugi who continue to push the boundaries of knowledge and redefine what is possible.

SUVs are popular in part due to their elevated ride height, commanding view of the road and roomy interiors. Yet many midsize and large SUVs feel cumbersome in city driving. Smaller and more agile vehicles are a great alternative to help make city driving less of a chore. Edmunds’ experts have brought together five city-friendly SUVs that are right at home navigating busy traffic and squeezing into curbside parking spots. All pricing below includes the destination charge. Starting price: City living can mean space is at a premium. With this in mind, car shoppers who want a spacious vehicle with a small footprint would be smart to put the Kia Soul on their shopping list. The Soul is Kia’s smallest vehicle, but its boxy shape allows for a generous amount of headroom and legroom in both the front and second rows. The 24.2-cubic-foot cargo hold is also commendable. Edmunds singles out the Soul’s agile handling and fuel-sipping engine as reasons to buy one. Both should come in handy for urban driving. And considering city living isn’t inexpensive, it helps knowing the Soul is the least pricey of the five vehicles listed here. One downside to know about the Soul: You can’t get it with all-wheel drive. Starting price: $24,795 It takes something a little extra to stand out in a city environment. This is why the Buick Envista earns a spot on this list. It has an eye-catching design that cuts a stylish path through traffic. Few vehicles are able to do this at such a budget-friendly price. Inside and out, the Envista looks and feels like a more expensive vehicle than it really is. The touch screen interface is attractive and easy to use, while available features like heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, a power liftgate and rain-sensing wipers impart an upmarket appeal to Buick’s least expensive SUV. One trade-off is cargo space; the Envista’s swoopy shape means trunk volume is less than what many competitors provide. Starting price: $25,420 (2024 model year) The Volkswagen Taos is a compact SUV that Edmunds has found to feel a cut above many similarly sized rivals. The Taos is easy to maneuver, and its upright shape and large windows mean outward visibility is excellent. This matters a lot in the cut and thrust of city driving. Passenger and cargo space ranks among the best in its class, and the Taos’ engine is powerful enough for quick getaways at stoplights. Every 2025 Taos comes with a user-friendly 8-inch touchscreen and wireless device charging. And since navigating city traffic can be tricky, it’s nice knowing that driver-assist features such as rear cross-traffic warning, blind-spot warning and automatic emergency braking are all standard. Starting price: $26,540 The Subaru Crosstrek has standard all-wheel drive and the rugged look of a vehicle bred for life in the wilderness. Thankfully, the Crosstrek is equally capable in an urban jungle. Subaru gives the Crosstrek an elevated ride height to help with off-roading, but that extra clearance also comes in handy when dealing with big speed bumps or steep parking-garage entrances. If you’re routinely in a hurry, Edmunds suggests sidestepping the 152-horsepower base four-cylinder engine and upgrading to the punchier 182-horsepower version. Subaru puts it in every 2025 Crosstrek except the base trim level. The interior is simple but durable; the controls are logically placed and within easy reach. At 19.9 cubic feet in capacity, the cargo area is on the smaller side among compact SUVs. Yet its low load floor and wide-opening hatch make it easy to get bulky items aboard. Starting price: $46,950 The Mercedes-Benz GLB justifies its premium price with cutting-edge technology, a smooth ride and strong performance. The GLB’s upright shape is also practical. This pint-sized Mercedes has 22 cubic feet of cargo volume and an adult-friendly second row. There’s even an optional third row, but it’s suitable only for kids. During testing, Edmunds noted the standard 221-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder has enough grunt to get the GLB from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. Want to further shorten your commuting times? A 302-horsepower sport-tuned model, the AMG GLB 35, is even more rapid and rides on a hunkered-down suspension. You can get GLB with some helpful tech features, such as a surround-view parking camera system, but be aware that adding a lot of options can send the GLB’s price soaring far above a city skyline.
