Colom, a local prosecutor, is the first Democrat that Mississippi has elected to the Senate since 1982 and the first Black senator from the state since the Reconstruction Era.

Oh wow

A US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony. https://t.co/MMDfZ31pPP

How do you do, fellow progressives?

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Alex Karp now says that Palantir is progressive, he’s always been a Democrat, Trump went too far on immigration and his primary commitment is to economic justice. LMAOOOOOO

I’ve just never seen a fire-breathing former military class warrior like this before. This is an entirely new kind of person to me.

🔥 Rep. (retired Major) @Ojeda4America (D-NC): “We need to all come together and elevate the lives of the 🇺🇸 people. Put money in the pockets of the working class… I didn’t come here to become a millionaire, I came here to teach these people who the hell they work for.”

What authentic leadership sounds like👇🏽

[Richard Hall @_RichardHall]

Crazy he didn't win even though he released the most policies.

[Jack Schlossberg @JBKSchlossberg]

@JessicaLBurbank Released more original policies than any candidate any cycle nationwide.

most expensive Dem primary ever but refused SuperPAC money. Outspent 20-1.

Grassroots funded. 50k donors. avg $5 contribution.

Supported block the bombs in most Jewish dist. in America.

But sure

[Richard Hall @_RichardHall]

The more Vance tries to distance himself from the war, the more Trump and Hegseth will pull him back in. He can't do it.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Q: Vice President JD Vance says the Iran war was a major reason why the Republicans lost in the midterms. Do you agree? 

Hegseth: The Vice President has been a critical member of the team in every aspect of this.

[Richard Hall @_RichardHall]

The fact that millions of people across the country voted against Republicans, in red states and blue states, is a strong indication that most people do not believe Hegseth and Trump that the Iran War has been "won" in any meaningful sense of the word.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Hegseth: For the first time in American history, a cabinet secretary overseeing America's military is being attacked not for losing conflicts with our enemies. But for winning them. Condemned not for defeat. But for military victory. Impeachment for success.

you have no idea how millennial things are about to get

[Andrew Feinberg @AndrewFeinberg]

It was a bit jarring to see John Kirby on MS just now talking about how the second strikes Pete Hegseth has ordered on small boats could may well be war crimes… Here’s how he answered when I asked him about Israel doing a second strike on a @WCKitchen convoy two years ago

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

Speaking of Ohio, remember when VP Vance was in Ohio and said the Ramaswamy ad saying Gov-elect Acton was lying when she was a child and said she was raped “calls it out like it is”?

And that GOP critics of the ad should “stop whining”?

[Richard Hall @_RichardHall]

Blinken and others at the White House saw the same information about Gaza that his underlings at State and USAID did — which prompted them to resign and send a record number of dissent memos — but he claims he interpreted it completely differently.

[Jeremy Konyndyk @JeremyKonyndyk]

This is just a stunningly wrongheaded assessment from @ABlinken.

It was manifestly false back when he was repeatedly signing off on weapons transfers to the IDF, and looks even worse with the benefit of hindsight. Indefensible.
