#GunViolenceSurvivorsWeek honors those who've been impacted by gun violence. Senate Dems are fighting to ensure everyone feels safe in their communities. #SB5265 would prohibit the manufacturing, importing & selling of these unnecessary firearms in Washington state. #WALeg

All of the Dems should be speaking up exactly like that. Not just in Congress, but every where.

All of the Republicans should be too; what a morally bankrupt, hypocritical, degenerate group of foot licking lackeys.

Wow AOC doesn’t hold back here

We won! I am honored to represent this district once again in Congress. Thank you to every volunteer, supporter, and voter in #WA08

Abortion was, is, and will remain legal in Michigan.

[Ash @Ashesresist]

Please, please, please, Universe, make this a win.

[Vox @voxdotcom]

Abortion measures were on the ballot this midterm election in 5 states: California, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, and Vermont.

Preliminary results show that in all five, voters sought to either maintain or expand access in their states. #Election2022 https://t.co/hOdX5W65co

37% is still too high, but I will take it.

Yes! Hopefully, this right here👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

2022 is on track to be the strongest U.S. House performance for the incumbent party in the last 5 midterm elections.

2006: 202 seats
2010: 193 seats
2014: 188 seats
2018: 199 seats
2022: Unclear, but maybe ~213 seats

I wonder-- and this is honestly just musing-- if six years of Trump and his minions lying about everything has made us more skeptical of all political claims, especially the wildest ones. Would be wonderful to see a return to reality-based governance.

[David Austin Walsh @DavidAstinWalsh]

Joe Biden pushed through (limited) student debt relief -- over the objections of older moderates in the Democratic Party -- and was rewarded with the best first-term midterm results for a Democrat since 1978, fueled by the youth vote.

[Taniel @Taniel]

NEW: I made a spreadsheet to figure out the U.S. House.

As of 11:15am ET Wed:

GOP leads in 218 races, but only 199 called
Dems lead in 217 races, but only 174 called

A lot of indecision remains. Flip a few and wowza.

See it all & I'll update here: https://t.co/4itxRM1Lbe

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Democracy doesn’t happen by accident. We have to defend, strengthen, and renew it.

I'll have more to say this afternoon, but thanks to the poll workers and officials that worked into the night to safeguard our sacred right to vote. And the millions who made their voices heard.

🤞🏻🤞🏻Good News!!

BREAKING: NBC projects Kentucky, one of the reddest states in the country, REJECTS a ballot measure that would’ve prohibited citizens from obtaining an abortion. Will Republicans finally realize that when they mess with women and young people’s lives, they will face consequences?

Once considered the most vulnerable Senate Democrat, Hassan managed to pull off a win in a cycle where Republicans enjoyed many advantages. https://t.co/8TONbmOllB

BREAKING: Democrat Tim Walz wins re-election in Minnesota governor's race, NBC News projects. https://t.co/iHh3q4BEze

[Frida Ghitis @FridaGhitis]

Incredible. NBC projects Republicans gain a ONE SEAT majority, but get this: margin of error is plus or minus 13 seats.
