Delivering for Rhode Island in the U.S. Senate. Campaign account.

Boom.

Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. https://t.co/LIrSavsJ01

A home insurance crisis, driven by wildfire and flood risk from climate change, is the canary in the climate coal mine.

Insurance collapse leads to mortgage collapse leads to property values collapse, whacking the whole economy. It’s “systemic.”

Gerrymandering works by lowering the “freeboard” of safe Republican districts to build more. Republicans looking at a blue wave against Trump corruption have to be skeptical. Lower the freeboard too much, and the wave swamps their districts. https://t.co/fvFyz7dduP

[Scott Colom @scott_colom]

And with the help of you and others who believed that Mississippi Matters!

.@scott_colom quietly ran one of the best campaigns in years, and he did it with raw talent, deep faith, and a lot of heart.

Democrat Scott Colom is suddenly in the spotlight as he stands on the verge of becoming the first African American elected to the Senate from Mississippi since Reconstruction. But he’s been drawing attention from other Democrats behind the scenes for months. https://t.co/EMqBqu4b7P

I’ve got a prediction: more dark-money corruption of our government, to protect their nasty “pollute-for-free” business model. https://t.co/QIjmM8PDzp

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SheldonforRI]

Same from David Ignatius: “At times, listening to his verbose and unfocused stump speeches, it seemed almost as if Trump wanted to lose.”

As I’ve been saying, Trump would rather take his Party down with him than fail alone. 

Nate Silver: “All of these problems are Trump’s fault.“

Carbon capture won’t solve climate change without carbon pricing. Direct air capture is needed cuz we will overshoot, but w/o pricing it won’t ever be enough. https://t.co/pwxOms6IAQ

Thrilled to congratulate Rhode Island’s next governor, @HelenaBFoulkes!!

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SheldonforRI]

Polls are open until 8pm tonight. Get out there and use your voice, Rhode Island!

[Sherrod Brown @SherrodBrown]

This Election Day, Ohioans are demanding better. We won’t back down until we get it.

[Adam Hamilton @Hamilton4Kansas]

As your senator, I will fight for every Kansan and I will lead from the middle.

I'd be honored to have your vote. – AH

[Chris Pappas @ChrisPappasNH]

Let's get out there and win.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

We’ve always been up against a rigged system.

But we’ve always had each other.

Let's show the world why you should always bet on the underdog.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SheldonforRI]

One voice from the very conservative American Enterprise Institute had something to say about Republicans deserving a rout. https://t.co/zLTcpd7101

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SheldonforRI]

Nice numbers, but only if people VOTE!

[Scott Colom @scott_colom]

Medgar Evers was killed in his driveway because he refused to accept a Mississippi where some were denied the right to vote.

He stood with thousands who marched, organized and sacrificed so future generations could have a voice. We owe it to them not to take that right for granted. On Tuesday, honor their legacy. Vote.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SheldonforRI]

Governors matter now more than ever, and @HelenaBFoulkes is going to do an outstanding job as Rhode Island’s next governor.

Vote Helena and vote Democrat!

Any day of the week, Michiganders care more about the price of gas or groceries than the daily political drama or the last-minute moves by politicians for the TV cameras.

I was knocking doors in Sterling Heights yesterday and to a house, those folks were hyper-focused on how expensive everything in their life seems to be, and they’re desperately worried — often in tears — about the future for their kids.

And it is for that reason that I have avoided commenting on the actions of Congresswoman Haley Stevens until now.

But there is simply too much at stake. We have to be focused on the mission at hand. That mission is to put a check on President Trump in the U.S. House and Senate, and do the hard work of saving the middle class.

So anyone who makes an election this important about themselves, and not Michiganders and our democracy, should think hard about whether they are serving the greater good.

People outside of Michigan sometimes have a hard time understanding our politics. And in moments like these, I get it.

But here’s the simple truth: The election on Tuesday is bigger than any one person. It’s about who we are as a country and the values that most represent us.

Michigan elects fighters, and we will elect @AbdulElSayed on November 3.
