This is what all the State Legislatures are looking like.
Dems now have the power to pass the National Voter Compact to effectively abolish the Electoral College.

BREAKING: SWEET REVENGE! The Navy Admiral who Pete Hegseth fired DEFEATS her MAGA opponent to win a House seat in South Carolina — cementing the blue tsunami with a poetic flourish!
This is just too beautiful...
Democrat Nancy Lacore, a 35-year Navy veteran who rose through the ranks from helicopter pilot to become Chief of Navy Reserve, was fired in August of 2025 amid Hegseth's purging of high-ranking women in the military. While no official reason was given, the deeply misogynistic Hegseth has not been coy about his caveman belief that only testosterone-injecting men should serve.
Lacore has now defeated Republican Jenny Costa Honeycutt to seize a seat that was formerly held by MAGA lunatic Nancy Mace who launched a failed bid for the governor's mansion this year.
Lacore has not been shy about criticizing Hegseth's disastrous mismanagement of the Defense Department, particularly his failed Iran War.
"Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified Secretary of Defense that we have ever had, and he is doing significant damage to our military that it will really take decades to undo," she said, adding that he "needs to go."
The most beautiful irony here? Congresswoman Lacore could soon be voting with the rest of the Democratic majority in the House to impeach Pete Hegseth. We have subpoena power starting in January, so we'll be able to uncover all of the gross negligence and rampant criminality that he's overseen.
Ain't karma grand?
Please ❤️ and share if you support impeaching Pete Hegseth!

.@NoahCRothman: The GOP wipeout in Texas appears to be truly generational in scope. At this hour, Democrats have won both the U.S. Senate seat and the governor’s mansion. They’ve also likely defeated incumbent Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, won the attorney general’s office, and blocked controversial candidate Bo French from becoming the next Railroad Commissioner.
Democrats appear poised not only to sweep statewide offices in the Lone Star State, they are also poised to take over the state Senate, too.

Please remember all the anti-democratic dogs that did not bark today.
ICE did not intimidate or arrest voters at polling stations.
Trump's attempt to disenfranchise voters in California failed miserably.
Trump's planned shenanigans in Alaska no longer matter. Dems already won the Senate.
And we dont have to wait anxiously to see what the House clerk will do on January 3rd regarding the seating of newly elected members. This blowout makes that anti-democratic tactic completely untenable now.
Democrats won big tonight.
But so too did democracy.
Those who predicted democracy's death in America were mistaken.

🧵Zelenskyy hit Putin’s oil five nights in a row, and Putin responded by slashing recruit signing bonuses from $39,000 to $8,000 overnight.
As refineries burned 155 miles from the Kremlin, Kazakhstan cut oil transit, and Moscow froze troop pay until January. 1/🧵

Peggy Flanagan: "You said no more masked goons shooting our neighbors and terrorizing our communities. You said no more ballrooms, no more bombs or tax breaks for billionaires. The grift stops now. And the taking back our country from the grip of the most corrupt administration in our nation's history starts tonight ... When Minnesotans fight for one another, we can inspire a nation to join that fight. Because when you come for one of us, you come for all of us."

MISSISSIPPI! Our race is too close to call. We are going to make sure every single vote has been counted, and I am confident we will ultimately flip this seat.
Voters know what’s at stake and we saw historic voter turnout in this election across Mississippi, including thousands voting for the first time.
There is a lot of work to be done and we are going to make sure every voice is heard.

TRUMP: I read at Fox that I'm not popular. The Fox polls are terrible. You ought to get yourself a good pollster 'cause your polls are the worst
BAIER: But tonight actually the results are pretty close to what the Fox polls showed
TRUMP: Well, I don't know about that

There is no blue wave materializing so far as of 3 p.m. ET today. Republicans are surging in Florida, and I think the polls are about to be proven wrong yet again. Democrats predicted a massive wave, but the voting data tells a different story. We'll see how tonight unfolds.

Emotionally -- not analytically -- tonight reminds me of November 4, 2008. And that's a damn good feeling.

Over the last 2 years, Elias Law Group has litigated and won scores of voting and election cases. Tonight, we saw the results -- Democrats won free and fair elections.
In the days ahead we will protect these results from DOJ and GOP attack. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪
