For the first time in history, the United States has a sitting congressperson who is transgender.

Congratulations to Sarah McBride, whose race was just called by MSNBC.

She wins in a year where a historic amount of anti-trans ads were blared across TV screens in America.

[Angela Alsobrooks @AlsobrooksForMD]

Thank you, Maryland!

[Jon Cryer @MrJonCryer]

I for one, will never forget or forgive the amount of hatred leveled at trans people this election.

"It’s very exciting to feel like we’re getting closer to the music that inspired us to do this in the first place. We have a couple songs that I know came from my deep love of Jerry Garcia’s music and the Grateful Dead." - @gillianwelch

from Philly courtroom —

Musk lawyer says his $1m giveaway is NOT a lottery. "There is no prize to be won" and winners "are not chosen at random," Musk lawyer Chris Gober said.

Instead, the $1m is a salary they "earn" to be a spokesperson for Musk's pro-Trump super PAC. Winners are picked based on their "suitability to serve" and their personal story, Gober said.

In response, Philly DA team called this a "complete admission of liability" that Musk is running an illegal lottery under PA law.

Remember: When Musk announced the giveaway.... in PA nonetheless.... he said, "we are going to be awarding $1 million randomly." DA showed this in court to the judge.

Gober argued there's a difference between "randomly" and "by chance," which is why he argued that this isn't an illegal lottery under PA gaming laws.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Wow, Musk's lawyers openly admit in court that he was flagrantly lying about the $1 million giveaway, saying they choose the winners based on "suitability" and absurdly claiming it's actually a "salary" to be a "spokesperson" for his cause.

"We have to tell them over and over again, 'Voter suppression's fake. Voter fraud is fake. It's used to raise money and get you angry,'" says Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s chief operating officer for the secretary of state. https://t.co/ANZeYURopL

There are several reasons why I didn't use my sidearm during the insurrection and while I can only speak for myself I suspect other officers may have had similar concerns. 🧵

@thejackhopkins I see you on my For You tab pretty often. It felt great to vote early this week! 💙

To all the Dad's out there: your daughters future is in your hand. Your buddies don't need to know you who vote for.

Walz: He said, he's going to do that whether women like it or not. Some of this stuff might be comedy fodder if this guy would go back to just being a buffoon on TV. But he's not. He's asking to be President of the United States again.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Walz: So many reasons to vote against this guy. I will tell you, this one may be petty but we've earned it, living with this guy for nine years. How great will it be not to see him on TV anymore?

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

Thanks, pal. 👍

Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris

Speaker @MikeJohnson likely won’t see this because his anti-porn app would block it and alert his son. 🚨

#TrumpisGoingDown
Who is going to explain to Super Religious Fanatic Speaker of the House Mike Johnson what shenanigans #Trump is up to with his microphone.
If your aged Father did this in public...in front of kids... you'd get him a mental exam ASAP!
NOT elect him as President.

[Mike Ward @SthMtnMike]

So presidential. So demure.

[Lulu J. Thundersnatch💙✌️ @LouWhompus]

Y’all need to get over here & get your candidate, he’s attempting to fellate the mic !

If you have teens, this would be a great thing to watch with them and discuss. Not enough people have and fascism is taking root again.
