Putin didn't count on this. Europe's largest economy will abruptly increase its annual defense spending *above* the #NATO target of 2%/GDP.

"What needs to be done to keep the peace will be done," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz tells parliament, "and Germany will do its bit."

[Marco Rubio @marcorubio]

In the hours to come #Russia will
-conduct strikes on air defense systems

Since a lot of people here like European-style hate speech laws, a little tale from Germany.

A disgusting anti-Semitic flier makes the rounds. A member of the Jewish community shares it in dismay on Twitter. So does the mayor of Cologne.

Both are prosecuted for hate speech.

Myanmar's military has taken control of the country in a coup and declared a state of emergency, following the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior government leaders in early morning raids on Monday. https://t.co/Lg9WR836cI

Myanmar’s army seized power in an apparent coup, detaining de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi along with members of her party and declared a state of emergency for at least one year, signaling an end to the nation's nascent democratic experiment. https://t.co/izQOVtwsGc

I hesitate to draw attention to this stuff, but...

Mark Levin is one of the most popular radio hosts in the country. This isn't just about Trump. It's exposure to guys like Levin, day after day, that readied Republicans for Trump, and his autocratic impulses. The rot runs deep.

For Trump to win Pennsylvania, the Secretary of State would have to be very, very wrong about how many mail ballots aren't included in the current results tally https://t.co/nRGDxTiC2l

[Laura Bronner @laurabronner]

Red and blue shifts are a *totally normal* result of how votes were cast and counted this year -- in some states, early and absentee votes were counted before Election Day votes (= red shift), in some states they were counted afterwards (= blue shift).

Worth noting that the GOP saved their senate majority, FL, & likely a wave in TX bc when @parscale & the Cambridge Analytica sect came up w the microtarget Black & Latino young men plan on digital, they were allowed to run the strategy, not dismissed & outcasted like my ideas

[Rachel Bitecofer 🗽🦆 @RachelBitecofer]

Yes and even though the GOP is right now undermining black Civil rights. Yet, foremost on young black voters minds? BiDENS deficiencies.

This is what I mean when I say the Ds are getting lapped in terms of sophistication & what I'm trying to call attention to /address

[Rachel Bitecofer 🗽🦆 @RachelBitecofer]

1. When I hear @clairecmc talk about Dems learning to talk to the Piggly Wiggly crowd, I hope she'll want to join/help w my moderate messaging electioneering overall for Ds effort. BC its CRUCIAL to understand- Ds & outside groups tried already to cater to these voters on the

There's also an irony here in that people who weren't data-literate and wrote hot takes about the data didn't realize how much the data was going to change even though it changed in exactly the way the data people said it would.

[Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn]

If you stop the count, right now, Biden wins with 270 electoral votes--with leads in AZ/NV, plus the states where he's already the projected winner.

[Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn]

Well, that makes Pennsylvania's probably the best shot at Biden getting 270 tonight, though I have no idea how many more ballots they plan to count today or tonight

With 95% of the expected vote reported in the state, Biden’s lead in Michigan has grown to more than 1 percentage point with a new batch of votes from the Detroit area. https://t.co/vZeSV0P7k3

[FiveThirtyEight @FiveThirtyEight]

If you're wondering how exactly a "blue shift" in Pennsylvania could be big enough for Biden to overcome Trump's 8-point lead there, take a look at the latest votes from Allegheny County. https://t.co/4sEydqAlcu
