I live in PA and voted by mail. My ballot was mailed on 10/7 and received on 10/21 as indicated through online tracking.

Today, when I checked my ballot status it says:

RECORD - BALLOT RETURNED

I am unclear as to whether my ballot was counted or not. @JoshShapiroPA

@RoryStewartUK @IndiaWilloughby We make the mistake of assuming that poor people at home in America, suffering hardship and appallingly bad education are able to relate to polish, debate, and eloquence. They see the elite and they only trust what they think they know.

Clearly it won’t make a shred of difference if I leave twitter at the end of the day. I’m a granny. A retired music teacher. A lover of kindness and honesty. Loather (it is a word now) of lies and selfishness. I love the chat here but the platform is owned by a dangerous nut-job.

If you're in a place of crisis because of the election, please reach out and talk to someone.

If you're struggling to find someone right now, try the NAMI helpline on 1-800-950-NAMI, text 'HelpLine' to 62640 or email [email protected].

Your mental health is extremely important, especially during this election period.

Put your phone away if you need to take time away from the news.

London mayor @SadiqKhan has issued a statement on the US election:

“I know that many Londoners will be anxious about the outcome of the US Presidential election. Many will be fearful about what it will mean for democracy and for women’s rights, or how the result impacts the situation in the Middle East or the fate of Ukraine. Others will be worried about the future of NATO or tackling the climate crisis.

"London is - and will always be - for everyone. We will always be pro-women, pro-diversity, pro-climate and pro-human rights.

"London is a place where we’re proud of our diversity, proud of the contribution of all our communities and proud of our spirit of unity. These are some of the values that will continue to bind us together as Londoners."

"The lesson of today is that progress is not inevitable. But asserting our progressive values is more important than ever - re-committing to building a world where racism and hatred is rejected, the fundamental rights of women and girls are upheld, and where we continue to tackle the crisis of climate change head on."

So where do I go? I’ve steadfastly avoided most of the foul antipathy on here. Which meant I had no concept of the pro Trump feeling so rampantly demonstrated last night. I need to see the fight and be part of it without being brought down by Weltschmerz

@AvaSantina @JMPSimor He has. And I applaud him. But he has the advantage of free speech in opposition. Worth unwrapping the language of the PM’s political etiquette. I think it says far less - or far more- than is immediate apparent.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Today 2 things seem clear - the urgency of closer ties with EU neighbours, & importance of distinguishing between autocrat & demagogue Trump, & those who voted for him. The rise of populism reflects a failure of progressive politics - unless we address that, no country is immune

[Libbie Noakes @LibbieNoakes]

@i_iratus Thank you. I’m leaving twitter but I shall miss you terribly. To plagiarise @JaneyGodley , Trump is a Cunt and @elonmusk is another one.

[Libbie Noakes @LibbieNoakes]

A sad day for the world, for freedom, decency, inclusivity and honesty. Time to abandon the doom scrolling and find a better way to support people like @i_iratus @nazirafzal @Number10cat @AGallagherAlly @GreenJennyJones @PaulGarvey4 @johncosgrove405 @KirstiMiller30. Love you all

England's water industry is controlled by criminals

I provided evidence in parliament, proposed that companies with more than 2 convictions in 5 yrs must face special administration.

Govt/Tories opposed.

They are content for criminals to rule. Are you?

BREAKING: 🇺🇸Elon Musk’s big voter giveaway just took a turn.

Voters who signed up for his “million-dollar” sweepstakes are now filing suit against Musk and his America PAC, claiming they were misled on how the winners were chosen, according to Bloomberg.

YOU are the gift that keeps on giving Janey!!

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

@DavidLammy @realDonaldTrump @JDVance I know this is political etiquette but you need a really strong gag reflex today.
