Limerick Thread 🧵 💜
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the rats scurry amid Midterms wreckage.
In the midterms, the barge of Trump’s grift
Just exploded, its pieces adrift.
In the wreckage and flames
All the rats shift their aims
Extend paws in the hopes of a lift.

Now that the midterms are over, let me correct the record.
-I wasn't handpicked by Chuck Schumer. I didn't even talk to the man until after I announced.
I’m not sure exactly what a corporate or establishment Dem is, but I’m pretty sure it’s not a first-time candidate or a career military guy. Call me a moderate, I’ll take it. I always think big, but I don’t let idealism get in the way of getting a job done. I’m practical and would take Medikids and lower age limits for Medicare to expand healthcare and drive down costs over nothing at all. In 2028 after a Dem trifecta, I expect bold moves.
-Be an asshole and call me a carpetbagger! So I moved here four years ago, AFTER SERVING IN THE FOR 21 years. I'm here with my family, raising my daughter, and caring for my elderly parents in SoFlo. I decided to run because it was clear that the midterms would trigger a Blue Tsunami, because Trump sucks. And I saw a path to win the general election. I jumped-in to help. Call it a call to serve. Same one from a lifetime of service.
Let's just say I was very skeptical, because hey its Florida, but I wasn't going to sit on my ass when the stakes were so high.
No I didn’t move to Florida to run for Senate! 🙄
-I have some regrets, but even in losing, I delivered 1.5M to Florida candidates and to races that would have otherwise been left short-changed. I feel that in some small way I pitched in to help break the super majorities in the Florida House and Senate.
-I invested 3M in total to campaigns and parties around the country including Iowa, Ohio, Alaska, etc., including in Kansas and South Carolina when few were looking there.
-I wish I had chosen to outspend Angie 20, 10, or even 5 to 1 on the primary. I only spend 2:1 on the primary. Obviously a HUGE mistake. I was too focused on defeating Moody and building real democratic power.
-Angie was tireless in making her case to primary voters, while I was trying to connect with potential crossover voters without first securing my base.
-I neglected to heed the old maxim always fight and finish the battle in front of you.
-I never took a penny from AIPAC. Those claiming otherwise, when they knew better, were playing to the old Jewish dual allegiance troupe.

Oh, we've reached the “Give it up” stage of the debate? 😂
That's an interesting response to being presented with actual statistics, government data, and documented historical trends.
Apparently, when the evidence doesn't support your conclusion, we abandon the math and start calling everything “magic.”
Now, about that map you posted...
LAND DOESN'T VOTE. PEOPLE DO.
A county shifting toward Democrats does NOT mean Democrats won that county. It means the Democratic margin improved compared with the previous election.
A county can vote overwhelmingly Republican and still shift 10, 15, or even 20 percentage points toward Democrats.
Both things can be true. Shocking, I know.
And here's another concept worth understanding: COUNTIES ARE NOT EQUAL POPULATIONS.
A rural county with 5,000 voters does not carry the same electoral weight as an urban county with 500,000 voters.
Counting counties as though they're interchangeable units of public opinion is statistically misleading.
Your own map explicitly states that the colors represent changes in county voting margins since 2024, NOT which party won those counties.
As for your continued obsession with the 2018 “1 in 2,000” statistic:
The Census Bureau documented an 11.5-percentage-point increase in citizen voting-age turnout between 2014 and 2018.
Both Republican and Democratic House candidates received millions more votes.
Your statistical calculation doesn't establish that those votes were fraudulent. It measures how unusual a result is under a particular model, not whether election fraud occurred.
And you STILL haven't provided evidence of fabricated ballots, altered vote counts, or election-audit discrepancies.
Here's the part that seems to be getting lost:
It's not my responsibility to make you understand the statistics you're copying from AI. That's a YOU problem.
AI can provide calculations. It cannot substitute for critically evaluating what those calculations mean.
And repeating an unsupported allegation doesn't magically turn it into evidence, regardless of how many times you post it.
Remember that phrase about facts not caring about feelings?
It works both ways.
If you have actual evidence of systemic election fraud, present it. Name the jurisdictions, identify the discrepancies, and provide the records.
Otherwise, we're no longer debating evidence. We're debating your refusal to accept an explanation that doesn't match your expectations.

It hurts, it aches, the wound that we call living,
Because it is a trial, and unforgiving,
The rawness seethes and winds us in its fingers,
And what it leaves both terrifies and lingers.
But through the pain there is a different story:
The one that represents each wondrous glory
👑Deeddra👑 retweeted
Replying to @RexQueQuondam @DC_Draino
Oh, wonderful! We finally have some actual calculations. Unfortunately, understanding what Grok spits out apparently requires a little more effort than copying and pasting it.
Let's examine your own numbers.
Historical mean: +7.98%
Standard deviation: 19.24%
2018: 3.25 standard deviations above the mean.
2026: 1.48 standard deviations, assuming your projected 70 million votes.
1. YOUR PROBABILITY DOESN'T SUPPORT YOUR CLAIM.
That dramatic “1 in 2,070” probability refers to 2018's approximately 3.3-standard-deviation result.
Your own table puts 2026 at roughly 1.5 standard deviations, corresponding to an upper-tail probability of approximately 6.9%, or 1 in 14.5, under an assumed normal distribution.
Neither figure represents the probability of fraud.
2. TURNOUT ACTUALLY EXPLAINS A LOT.
Between 2014 and 2018:
• Democratic House votes increased by approximately 25 million.
• Republican House votes ALSO increased by approximately 10.5 million.
• Total House votes increased from 78.8 million to 114 million.
• The Census Bureau documented an 11.5-percentage-point increase in citizen voting-age turnout.
So claiming political participation cannot explain the shift ignores actual government data.
3. STATISTICAL OUTLIERS ARE NOT PROOF OF FRAUD.
Your model assumes historical electoral changes can reliably predict future results using a normal distribution. You haven't demonstrated that assumption.
And your 2026 calculation relies on projected, not certified, vote totals.
A surprising statistic is not evidence of fabricated ballots, manipulated tabulation, or election misconduct.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Your arithmetic is mostly correct. Your interpretation isn't supported by it.
If you're going to use AI to make statistical arguments, at least double-check what its output actually means before presenting it as evidence.
Using AI to sound intelligent is easy. Demonstrating that you understand what it produced is apparently the harder part.
Next time, perhaps ask Grok to explain the difference between statistical probability and evidence of fraud before hitting “Post.”

Can you publish the underlying election-year observations, the formula used to calculate your standard deviations, and the assumptions behind your model? Specifically, how did you account for changes in population, turnout, and voter preferences between 1950 and 2026? Or is this another one of the MAGA "Trust me bro I have feelings" or "God told me" moments
👑Deeddra👑 retweeted
Oh, look! Another MAGA account screaming “FRAUD!! CHEATING!!” because election results didn't match their expectations.
Apparently, “trust me, bro” mathematics and a tinfoil hat now qualify as investigative journalism.
Unfortunately for that argument, numbers don't become evidence of fraud just because someone finds them inconvenient.
Now, let's examine what the actual data says. Shall we?🧐
HerFactDesk - FACT CHECK
CLAIM: @BrightInsight6 suggests possible election fraud because Republicans supposedly gained 1.4 million House votes over 2022 while Democrats gained approximately 19 million.
THE MATH ACTUALLY ADDS UP. THE CONCLUSION DOESN'T FOLLOW.
Let's examine what these numbers actually represent.
1. THESE ARE PROJECTIONS, NOT CERTIFIED RESULTS.
The circulating estimates put Republicans at approximately 55.6 million House votes and Democrats at 70 million.
As of November 6, 2026, counting is not complete. Treating projected national totals as finalized election results is premature.
2. BOTH PARTIES CAN GAIN VOTES SIMULTANEOUSLY.
In 2022, Republicans received approximately 54.2 million House votes and Democrats received 51.3 million.
Under the quoted 2026 projections, Republicans would gain approximately 1.4 million votes while Democrats would gain 18.7 million.
That represents roughly 20.1 million additional votes for the two major parties combined.
There is no mathematical contradiction. Higher overall participation can increase both parties' totals, even when one gains considerably more.
3. THE SUPPOSED DEMOCRATIC ANOMALY HAS HISTORICAL PRECEDENT.
Consider the 2014 and 2018 midterms:
2014 Democratic House votes: 35.4 million.
2018 Democratic House votes: 60.3 million.
That's an increase of approximately 25 million votes.
Republicans also gained approximately 10.5 million House votes during that same period.
Large changes in turnout have occurred before. A dramatic increase is not, by itself, evidence of election fraud.
4. THE 19 MILLION ARE NOT NECESSARILY 19 MILLION NEW VOTERS.
These are votes cast for Democratic candidates, not a count of newly registered Democrats.
They can include previously inactive voters, independents, people who formerly supported Republican candidates, and other returning voters.
For additional context, Democratic House candidates received approximately 70.6 million votes in 2024.
A projected 70 million in 2026 would therefore not exceed the Democratic House vote total from the immediately preceding general election.
5. THE TURNOUT INCREASE WAS VISIBLE BEFORE ELECTION DAY.
A Washington Post analysis in June 2026 examined 990 primary races across 25 states.
More than 90% of the Democratic House primaries examined recorded higher participation than in 2022.
The increased Democratic engagement wasn't something that suddenly appeared on November 3.
6. REPUBLICAN VOTE SHARE DECLINED BROADLY.
Reuters found that Republicans' vote share fell in 99% of the counties examined when compared with Trump's 2024 performance.
The comparisons involve different elections, but they demonstrate a widespread electoral shift rather than evidence confined to one disputed vote count.
7. ELECTION AUDITS ARE ALREADY PART OF THE PROCESS.
The National Conference of State Legislatures confirms that all 50 states and Washington, D.C., have post-election auditing procedures.
Audits check voting systems and ballot records, with procedures varying by state.
Supporting transparent audits is reasonable. Presenting a surprising national vote total as proof of misconduct is not the same as identifying an actual counting discrepancy.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The posts compare projected 2026 House votes with finalized 2022 results, confuse candidate vote totals with party membership, and characterize an increase in participation as suspicious without establishing an irregularity.
The 2018 midterms provide an especially important historical comparison: Democrats gained approximately 25 million House votes over 2014.
Nothing about the quoted 2026 arithmetic independently establishes illegal voting, fabricated ballots, or manipulated tabulation.
If there is evidence of election fraud, identify the affected jurisdiction, the actual discrepancy, and the supporting records.
A dramatic line on a graph is not proof of a crime.

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.

Senator Warren, I love the idea, but historically, the success rate of this strategy hasn't been great.
If Democrats really want to put Republicans on the spot, the legislation needs to be clean, focused on a single issue, and completely free of pork, unrelated provisions, and political bargaining chips.
Yes, that means introducing and voting on more individual bills. Yes, it means significantly more work, potentially three times as much. But it also eliminates one of the easiest excuses politicians use to justify voting against otherwise popular legislation.
Want to lower prescription drug costs? Make that the entire bill. Want to tackle government corruption? Introduce a separate bill addressing exactly that. Keep each proposal straightforward, transparent, and easy for the public to understand.
Then put those proposals up for recorded votes whenever possible. Make every senator explain their position on the actual issue rather than hiding behind some unrelated provision buried hundreds of pages into a massive piece of legislation.
Will Republicans still try to spin, twist, and distort the narrative? Absolutely. But it's considerably harder to justify opposing a straightforward proposal when there aren't a dozen unrelated issues to use as excuses.
It's more work, no question. But governing SHOULD require work, and accountability should be worth that effort.
If we're going to test Trump's willingness to veto legislation that benefits Americans, let's make sure each bill is clear enough that the public knows exactly what he's rejecting.

Grifter Scott Presler once again doing the typical Republican fear and panic tactics after his own party has used the "nuclear option" at least 4 different times since they have had full control.
🔎 HerFactDesk | FACT CHECK
CLAIM: Democrats will undoubtedly eliminate the Senate filibuster once they take control, so Republicans should eliminate it first.
THE FACTS:
This is a prediction, not an established Democratic plan. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has not committed to eliminating the legislative filibuster. Some Democrats support changing it, while others, including Sen. John Fetterman, have defended retaining it.
The claim also leaves out Republicans' own history of changing Senate procedures and bypassing the 60-vote threshold.
THE REPUBLICAN RECORD:
1. September 2025 — Nuclear option
Senate Republicans used the nuclear option to change procedures so certain presidential nominations could advance in groups by a simple majority.
This was a change to nomination procedures, not an elimination of the legislative filibuster.
2. July 2025 — One Big Beautiful Bill
Republicans passed Trump's major tax and spending legislation through budget reconciliation, avoiding the normal 60-vote legislative filibuster threshold.
The Senate vote was 50–50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie.
The bill was also unpopular in national polling. A July 2025 KFF survey found that 63% of U.S. adults viewed the legislation unfavorably.
3. June 2026 — Secure America Act
Republicans again used budget reconciliation to pass approximately $70 billion in immigration-enforcement funding, including for ICE and Border Patrol.
The bill passed the Senate 52–47 without Democratic support and became law on June 10, 2026.
4. Congressional Review Act
During the 2025–2026 Congress, lawmakers also enacted 23 resolutions overturning federal regulations through the Congressional Review Act.
This is another expedited legislative procedure that avoids an ordinary Senate legislative filibuster.
5. Republicans have used the nuclear option before.
Republicans used it in 2017 to lower the cloture threshold for Supreme Court nominations and again in 2019 to shorten debate on certain presidential nominations.
For context, Democrats previously used the nuclear option in 2013 for most nominations other than the Supreme Court.
WHAT ABOUT MANCHIN AND SINEMA?
The post correctly notes that Manchin and Sinema blocked a Democratic effort to change filibuster procedures in January 2022.
But their departure does not establish that today's Democratic caucus will vote unanimously to abolish the filibuster.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Neither party has abolished the legislative filibuster.
Republicans have changed nomination rules through the nuclear option and used established expedited legislative procedures to pass major legislation without 60 votes.
Democrats previously attempted to create a voting-rights exception, but that effort failed.
Whether Democrats will change the legislative filibuster in the next Congress remains an open question.

When democrats take control of the Senate, they will undoubtedly nuke the filibuster.
We know this because they have tried several times, but there is no Senator Manchin or Sinema to stop them this time.
While Republicans are still in control, we must nuke the filibuster & put as much legislation on President Trump’s desk as we can.
It’s our only option.
