Ellen Degeneres’ new mansion in the United Kingdom — the one she and her “wife” Portia de Rossi — fled to after President Trump won the election has now flooded. The 43-acre estate, which cost several million dollars, in Cotswolds, England was hit by severe flooding caused by overflowing from a nearby river during a heavy storm.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s English farmhouse has flooded following torrential rain, a bombshell new report claims. The couple recently purchased a multi-million pound property in the Cotswolds, about two hours outside of London, and are allegedly attempting to settle there permanently following Donald Trump’s election win. But the 43-acre grounds are now underwater after the River Thames broke its banks in the wake of Storm Bert earlier this week, the Daily Mail reports. Numerous roads in the Cotswolds have been left impassable after being saturated in five feet of water Many locals are trapped in their homes, with one resident who lives near the couple telling the outlet: “The flood waters are rising by the hour. This is the worst I have seen it in years.” The flooding comes after DeGeneres and de Rossi reportedly relocated to England in the wake of Trump’s presidential election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. Sources previously told the Wrap that DeGeneres and de Rossi packed up and moved to the UK and are gearing up to put their Montecito, Calif., mansion on the market to start afresh abroad. The duo, who wed in 2008, will likely “never” return to the US on a permanent basis, one source claimed. Separate insiders told TMZ that the duo decided to “get the hell out” of the country immediately following the president-elect’s victory, which left them feeling “very disillusioned.” Apparently, Ellen loved the quaint farmhouse estate so much that she was prepared to overpay — by a whopping $2.5 million! Daily Mail added:  Ellen DeGeneres’s new life in the quaint English countryside has gone dramatically wrong – after her dream home was swamped by astonishing flooding just days after she moved in. The talk show superstar is living in an idyllic multi-million pound farmhouse in the Cotswolds after deciding to emigrate from the US in protest at Donald Trump’s election win. But rather than enjoying a pastoral retreat, Ellen, 66, and her wife Portia De Rossi, 51, have been left at the mercy of raging floods which have engulfed their new multi-million pound mansion, MailOnline can reveal. Dramatic images show the couple’s 43-acre property in the Cotswolds has become swamped in a torrent of flood water following the devastating impact of Storm Bert. The couple were left virtually marooned just days after moving into their new home after a tributary of the River Thames which runs beside the property broke its banks. It came after the area was battered by days of torrential rain and winds of up to 80mph. Roads surrounding the hideaway have been left impassable after being deluged in five feet of water – leaving locals trapped in their homes. One stricken resident who lives near the couple said: ‘The flood waters are rising by the hour. This is the worst I have seen it in years.’ The dramatic scenes must seem a far cry from the life the couple left behind in sunny California. According to US media, Ellen and wife Portia – who donated money to Kamala Harris’s doomed campaign – decided to ‘get the hell out’ after Trump’s election victory, apparently vowing to never go back. They are said to have ‘fallen in love’ with the picturesque estate set in acres of rolling Cotswold countryside which also includes a helicopter pad and swimming pool. And it appears they were so keen to make a quick getaway and land their dream property that they were prepared to pay £2.5 million more than the asking price. Originally built as a farmhouse, it was converted into a modern luxury home more than 15 years ago but still retains its old-world charm, with the outlying barns connected to the main building via glazed passageways. In total there are six bedrooms, and four bathrooms and council records show the previous owner installed an eco-friendly heat pump to supply heating to the house and pool. There is also a five bay garage and a separate one bedroom cottage. All I can say is: hope you got flood insurance!

Former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) is making the case for how and why the Democratic Party should undergo a “complete reboot” after its candidates got clobbered nationally in the 2024 election. Democrats are conducting election postmortems after losing the White House to President-elect Donald Trump and the Senate to Republicans. They also failed to win back the House. In an interview on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Ryan was asked what House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) or future chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) should do going forward. “You start with a complete reset,” Ryan said. “I mean, we need a rebrand. I think you and I have been talking about this since 2016, like, our brand is toxic in so many places and it is like, you are a Democrat?” He added: “That’s the stuff we get like in Ohio. And so it needs — we need a complete reboot. We need a complete reboot with the DNC. We need a complete rebranding.” Ryan, who lost to Trump’s vice presidential pick, J.D. Vance, in the 2022 U.S. Senate race in Ohio, argued that members of his party need to reassess what it means to be a Democrat. “People want to trust us. They don’t want to go to Donald Trump. I’m telling you, the middle-of-the-road people, they’re holding their nose to vote for him,” Ryan said. Ryan offered a number of suggestions for how the Democrats can recalibrate, such as embracing natural gas as an alternative to coal and backing off a “big fight” with the crypto industry. “We’ve got to get back to the bread and butter policies,” Ryan said, adding that the Democratic Party should focus on wooing back working-class and other voters as well as offering a vision for the future. He further suggested that Democrats need to “lead” on the economy and say “no” to some of the “issues” — even if members can be allies to those causes. “The other thing that I think is really big: We can’t be for solely redistribution,” Ryan said, adding later, “We want people to aspire to make money in America. … It’s about growing the pie.” Ryan posited his party should look back to the “Bill Clinton campaign,” put together a plan geared toward “reinventing” a “broken” government, and offer “more of a class-based upward mobility system.”

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is making for some odd bedfellows. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who has long railed against billionaires, vouched for Elon Musk — the world’s richest man and co-leader of DOGE — in the hopes of a defense spending crackdown. “Elon Musk is right,” Sanders said on X. Elon Musk is right. The Pentagon, with a budget of $886 billion, just failed its 7th audit in a row. It’s lost track of billions. Last year, only 13 senators voted against the Military Industrial Complex and a defense budget full of waste and fraud. That must change. — Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) December 1, 2024 “The Pentagon, with a budget of $886 billion, just failed its 7th audit in a row. It’s lost track of billions,” he added. “Last year, only 13 senators voted against the Military Industrial Complex and a defense budget full of waste and fraud.” Sanders concluded: “That must change.” The post garnered all sorts of buzz, including from Musk’s America PAC. “Sensible spending is not a partisan issue,” the PAC said. “The general public supports [DOGE] holding government accountable to spend taxpayer money more wisely.” President-elect Donald Trump picked Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head DOGE and come up with a plan to reform government and cut down on waste. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed outlining DOGE’s aspirations, Musk and Ramaswamy mentioned how the Department of Defense had just failed its seventh audit in a row. “The Pentagon recently failed its seventh consecutive audit, suggesting that the agency’s leadership has little idea how its annual budget of more than $800 billion is spent,” they wrote. Further insight could be gleaned from their exchanges on X over the past couple of weeks. In one post, Ramaswamy said, “We need to strengthen our military by focusing on the *effectiveness* of our defense spending, rather than just reflexively increasing the magnitude.” Musk replied by saying that DOGE “will improve the efficiency of Defense spending.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Last week, Ramaswamy said: “Yes, it’s true that cutting bureaucracy will reduce the federal deficit, but the real win will be its pro-growth effect. The biggest cost of bureaucracy isn’t the headcount costs, it’s that bureaucrats find legally dubious ‘things to do’ that stifle freedom & depress our economy.” “Exactly,” Musk replied. “In a meeting with senior military officers today, they told me that it now takes longer to renovate stairs (24 months) in the Pentagon than it took to build the WHOLE Pentagon (16 months) in the 1940s!!”
