"It's a great irony that Musk shifted his home and HQ from California to Texas to escape regulation. On Tuesday, Democrats won every statewide race in Texas. In short, he might need a new home. But where would he go?" My Swamp Notes with @Jderbyshire https://t.co/H3teOUm7k8

Democrats have scored stunning victories in the South Carolina and Texas Senate races in #Midterms2026 , seizing Republican strongholds for the first time in a generation | Follow live https://t.co/9YsRPpgjhB

Senate is essentially done & dusted. Various reliable organisations have called five states as Democratic flips—South Carolina, Texas, Kansas, North Carolina and Ohio. So even if Michigan doesn't hold (it will) then doesn't matter what happens in Alaska & Maine. Now we're just waiting to see how large Dem majority will be.
