Scott Colom is the way forward
Annie Andrews is the way forward
Roy Cooper is the way forward
James Talarico is the way forward
Jon Ossoff is the way forward
Mary Peltola is the way forward
Adam Hamilton is the way forward

Democrats that don’t have to attack the party or apologize for being a liberal to succeed. That’s the way forward for the party

[Peter Hamby @PeterHamby]

a lot of Republicans had the same take after the midterms:

Time to log off. The internet brain has to go. https://t.co/U1JRZBKycG @PuckNews

[Matt Grossmann @mattgrossmann]

Many more young Trump voters did not vote this year, rather than switch to Democratic candidates. But almost no young Harris voters switched to Republican candidates & many more showed up for Democrats this year.

[Brian Schaffner @b_schaffner]

the coalition a Democrat needs to win a Trump state in the south is pretty different from the one needed to win a Trump state in the midwest

[umichvoter @umichvoter]

Latest ~5,500 vote Alaska batch went Sullivan +5% and netted Sullivan 275 votes

Peltola is still up 3,975 votes

Almost all of this came from Sullivan strongholds, many of which the AP says are more than 95% in

"All I did was have the courage to imagine a night like this," says Sen.-elect Scott Colom in his victory speech in Jackson, Mississippi.

A truly historic result.

1st Democrat to win a Senate seat in Mississippi since 1982.

1st Black senator from Mississippi since the 1870s.

[Justin Slaughter @JBSDC]

I’m just learning that the Trump Admin has only confirmed 10 circuit judges this Congress, and that only two more are on the Senate floor.

This term might end up being a bit of a bust for moving the courts to the right. 41 circuit judges had been confirmed by this point in 2018.

👀 A new Reuters poll shows majorities **of Republicans** say Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr. would only be "fair" or "poor" presidential candidates.

4 in 10 say Ted Cruz would be "fair" or "poor."

[Stephen Leuchtman 🇺🇦 @leuchtman]

Senator Hyde-Smith did the right thing today. A clear, unequivocal statement congratulating Senator Elect Colom on his victory and not pretending it was anything other than that. Respect for that.

[Aaron Fritschner @Fritschner]

Credit where it’s due: not many people in DC or across the country took the U.S. Senate race in Mississippi seriously before November, but if you read @burgessev you were well informed from the moment Scott Colom launched the campaign that just shocked the nation

[Aaron Fritschner @Fritschner]

The real culprit is hiding in plain sight. Every other Republican - the majority party - voted to take down Massie’s resolution. Make it a process story about “not voting” tallies if you must (and if so you gotta include the bus) but this imo needlessly complicates a simple story

[Aaron Fritschner @Fritschner]

IMO what happened here is press were primed to cover a Hegseth impeachment but Republicans uniformly voted against it, which press had not expected or reported, so now many are trying to shoehorn it into an attendance story about D leadership, which requires removing context

[Arjun Jaikumar @ArjunJaikumar]

Seems like a basic thing but I have begun to take note of when a concession speech includes the words “I congratulate the winner and wish them success.” Because so many don’t.

She did do that!

[Steve Singiser @StevenSingiser]

This last drop out of the OC was phenomenal for Kluwe, who trails by just 111 votes with something in the neighborhood of 6000-8000 ballots in the district left to count.

This went from a slight reach to a probable win for the former NFL player turned political activist.

[Scott Colom @scott_colom]

I love you all’s videos! Another BANGER!!!

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Very strange. Rep. Jordan’s role in the coup attempt and in the sexual abuse scandal at Ohio State are the two things everyone knows about him. He has never been the main sponsor of a bill that became law, so that’s pretty much his whole cv.

[Zac Harmon 🌈 @Zprtr1]

Senator-elect Scott Colom (D) instantly becomes a historic figure in America

Just think of the Black Mississippians who have fought 150 years for this moment, many of whom lost their lives trying. We honor you

It’s days like today that make you most proud to be an American 🇺🇸

[Greg Dworkin @DemFromCT]

@MaggieJordanACN Lawler because he supported MAGA while pretending not to

After that, Foxx

[Brian Rosenwald @brianros1]

It's such a notable symbol of the transformation in the GOP: GWB fired Rumsfeld after a midterm disaster. Reagan made big changes toward more conciliatory type folks after 86 (though some of that was to deal with Iran-Contra). These guys? Triple down on hardliners.
