One takeaway I have: @AndyBeshearKY is soooo lucky that @GinaHinojosaTX won.

Luckily, though -- just as it's insulated from a defection/shutdown led by the DSA -- the new Dem majority is also insulated from the harm that the Blue Dogs could do to this country.
Blue Dogs say they’re going to more than double the size of the caucus next year

No. I was a normie centrist Republican. All of us left. You are a MAGA apologist who is realizing you made a serious mistake.
Hell of a night to be a normie centrist Republican.

Replying to @ChrisMarquette_
They should give it to him. Seniority for appointments is bullshit anyways. The people want change and what they need is to give it to senators that need to entrench themselves after low margin wins. Stop giving it to the same folks

Democrats don't hate the media enough.
CNN asks James Talarico if he will stand up to Abdul El-Sayed

I don't trust Kemp as far as I could throw him. Still worry he bends to the raging Republicans in the legislature.
HUGE: .@GovKemp will not call a special legislative session, as was discussed, to either redistrict Georgia’s political maps or curtail incoming Gov. Keisha Lance Bottoms’ powers. “The voters of our state have spoken.” @bluestein ajc.com/politics/2026/11/bri…

This contentious interchange between the NY Times and @GinaHinojosaTX was truly amazing. Hinojosa offered one of the best explanations of populism I've ever seen. Her comments were a total rejection of Corporate Dems' neoliberal formula. Her Texas victory is a game changer.

This is cope: 760k net people moved to Texas since 2020 Even if EVERY SINGLE ONE voted Dem it would not account for the 1.2 million margin that Talarico is winning the state by This was a *Texan* referendum on the entire GOP
Texas there is a lesson here. Don't be so welcoming.

People of Florida. Y’all better hold your damn head high. We broke state legislature super majorities because we drove turnout while everyone wrote us off. We have work to do sure, but let’s celebrate the fact we won 17 seats down ballot. I’m an organizer. And I look forward to getting back to what I love and know best. Organizing THE HELL out of my state. Let’s get to work!

!!!!!! Adam Hamilton was not recruited by the DC class. He told me he was tired of arguing with Roger Marshall in his mind and wanted to try to make a difference. When he got in race KS was on nobody’s radar. A 1 of 1 campaign. Bravo @guycecil @tysonbrody @mikephillips1
Decision Desk HQ projects Adam Hamilton wins the KS US Senate General Election #DecisionMade: 10:48 PM EST Follow live results here: votes.decisiondeskhq.com/rac…

I worked the Clinton campaign in 2016. We won the county by 29 points, and beat every metric, including Obama #'s. That margin didn’t vanish because voters changed overnight. It eroded over three cycles while the national party stopped showing up. patch.com/florida/miami/miam…

Watch this space here. The GOP folks will now be positioning Ron DeSantis as the next heir apparent to Trump with "Make America into Florida."
Watch this space. DeSantis has positioned himself very well to emerge as a right-wing critic, who never aligned himself with the administration, to succeed MAGA from the anti-corruption, anti-war flank.

Anderson Clayton is going to go down as one of the most influential people in the history of North Carolina. What an incredible job she's done. Thank you, @abreezeclayton

Kenyan McDuffie switched party affiliations twice and no one questioned him the same way as you people are doing @CMCHenderson.

This is the Democratic part of the district, Low Rent Eva Braun.
This is how the Left steals elections. Mike Lawler’s competitive district and they are turning away voters.
