We may have had to count One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, but Blue Mississippi sure has a nice ring to it! Scott, you put your heart and soul into this race because you believe in the promise of your state’s people. And they believed in you right back. I’m honored to have stood alongside you. Congratulations!

Lauren Underwood individually and collectively put these motherafuckers to shame.

Sad news for the politics desk at the NYT. They were dead certain their smear job a week before the election would result in her loss. Oh well, they'll always have Hillary in 2016 🙃

So norms are a thing of the past.
Remember that in 2029
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is blowing up the committee's bipartisan norms to jam through Trump's court picks in the lame duck, ahead of the GOP losing their Senate majority in Jan. huffpost.com/entry/live-upda…

If Peltola holds on in Alaska, D-held Senate delegations will actually occupy more territory (in square miles) than R ones. About 34% D, 30% R, 36% split.
Before the election it was 63% R, 33% D, 4% split.

half the replies on here now are just AI bots rephrasing what you posted. it's a shame because twitter's reply section used to be a modern-day salon where great minds once gathered to exchange ideas in good faith and advance the human condition

If this happened during the Obama or Biden administrations, it would be the top news for weeks.
A Tomb Guard from the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard” was forced to verbally reprimand Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and loudly talked in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington.
Video of the incident, posted by CNN, shows Hegseth standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver as well as senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh, following a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.

Thank you- District 3 … We did it!
This victory marks a significant moment for a grassroots campaign fueled by dedicated volunteers, rural communities, and voters determined to make their voices heard.
This victory doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to the people who believed in something greater than themselves.
Thank you to our volunteers gave their blood, sweat, and tears. Some gave their last dollar, while others gave their last free hour. Without them, we would not celebrating right now.
I am honored by the trust the voters have placed in me. Whether you may have voted for me or not, I intend to work just as hard for you. Our communities deserve to be heard in Washington, and I’m ready to get to work.

Alaska just added roughly 24K ballots to the Senate race, & Mary Peltola won this batch by 7 percentage points over Senator Sullivan.
This grows her lead from 1.1% to 1.8%. She is now up 49% to 47.2%.
And Peltola now has more votes than the two Dan Sullivans combined.

Others have made this point. I’m just echoing them. Last Tuesday was the biggest polling error of the 21st century. I don’t think I’ve seen a single story abt “reckonings” for the polling industry. Is polling broken? What did we miss? For general press it’s only an issue if GOP strength is missed.

Q: If I said Joe Biden is the part owner of a company and it has all of these investments from the Middle East, you would say that sounds corrupt, right?
Trump: Well, he did have a lot of different things.
Q: Sure, but why is it different for you?
Trump: Because I know nothing about it. I made a lot of money before.
Q: But then why do you need the money? Why not just divest, walk away?
Trump: I do.
Q: No, you didn’t.
Trump: I have a company. My sons are in the company. It’s hard to say to them, don’t do anything anymore for four years because I’m president.
Q: But you could divest from the company yourself and let them do whatever they want. That’s all. You’re not, like, sitting in the Oval Office thinking, Thank God I have that $50 million in World Liberty Financial, right?
Trump: How do you divest from cash?
Q: Do you think the people—the people who are investing in the company that you co-own with your sons, who are coming from foreign countries, who want things from your government—don’t you think they think that they are buying influence?
Trump: I don’t know, but that’s true. Look, every president has a problem. You have people, and they work for you. And guys like you cover them, and you do profiles on them, and they become like everybody thinks that Trump loves them and everything else, which in some cases is true and some cases are not.
This is true for every president, going back to George Washington.
Q: Every president has not owned a cryptocurrency company, however.
Trump: But they own something, whatever crypto was at the time. Okay, you know, there’s crypto. And before that, there was oil. Okay. And every president has had this problem.
