Can you imagine these genocidal monsters are invited into to White House. Putin’s money bagman and his orcs are responsible for the mass starvation in Oleshky, kidnapping of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children and genocide yet they are welcomed in the U.S. instead of arrested

There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation:
- For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House.
- At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate.
- At least 14 Democratic women will serve as governors, a record high.
- A record of 2,600 Democratic women running for seats in state legislatures helped flip 12 majorities and break 11 supermajorities.
- Four states elected their first woman governor: Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee.
- @KeishaBottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as a governor.
- @DebHaalandNM will be the first Native American woman to serve as a governor.
- @GinaHinojosaTX will be the first Latina to serve as governor of Texas.
- @peggyflanagan will be the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate.
I am beyond excited to see these extraordinary people and public servants tackle accountability, affordability, and our other challenges to make life better for everyone in this country.
Congratulations to everyone who ran: win or lose, fighting for what's right is always worth it.

Every one of these candidates lost.

Hoo boy.
Despite a court order prohibiting any work -- without court notification - at the site of Trump's Monumental Arch..... the Administration acknowledges there's been some work.

Every part of Texas swung toward Democrats to supplant much of the statewide Republican regime in a way unseen since Reconstruction.
A few @TexasTribune graphs and stories mapping the shift, including big Latino swings, urban turnout and lost ground for the GOP in rural areas:

Mississippi fun fact: Scott Colom was nominated to be a federal judge by Joe Biden. And he was blocked by… Cindy-Hyde Smith, via the blue slip process. Now Colom leads Hyde-Smith by 1,138 votes in what would be the upset of the century.

Texas just replaced their Boomer Governor with a Gen X Governor
They also replaced their Boomer Senator with a Millennial Senator
A new generation of Texans are leading Texas!

GOOD NEWS: National Weather Service morning balloon launches have officially returned to normal levels while offices across the US have filled various vacancies. It seems like after an incredibly stressful and tumultuous 20 months in our industry, things are moving back to normal.
It’s important to remember though that the fight must continue. The United States of America has long been the global leader in weather infrastructure. We must do everything to ensure NOAA, and by extension the NWS, is fully and properly funded to maintain this status and continue to innovate. Accurate and timely forecasts save lives and keep money in your pockets.

Don't forget that the incident kicking off voter anger at TX Rs and inspiring united opposition to broken TX leadership was their cramming a hyper-partisan & discriminatory mid decade redistricting map down Texans' throats. It blew up in their faces.

A truly historic night for Texas, and the fight to save Big Bend played a huge role.
Far West Texas showed up like never before to fight back against a corrupt federal government hellbent on destroying their home, their livelihoods and their way of life. Bulldozing Big Bend is an affront to us all.
Now we hold them accountable. Now the real work begins.

As I told @NPR here, SpaceX is a big contractor and gets a lot of money from NASA and the Department of Defense.
A federal criminal statute prohibited Musk, as head of DOGE, from participating in any matter he knew would have an impact on SpaceX.

A thread 🧵If you wanted to watch seven hours of Fox News personalities losing their ever-loving minds on election night but don't want to waste seven hours of your life I've condensed it for you. Hour 1 - DENIAL - They had no idea what was coming 1/7

I know there is a lot of news to cover, but I wish this amazing woman would get more media attention. New Mexico's Deb Haaland, first Native American woman to be elected Governor.

Important people know the backstory of this ad. @patrickgaspard gave me the idea to take her inexcusable gaffe and do something edgy with it that could get attention.
My content creator, @RyanSayles_ directed and edited it. He should be considered the breakout-star of this cycle. He’s going to be a giant in the media consultant game. He did GAME CHANGING work with SO little.
