Congratulations to my friend @scott_colom, Mississippi’s next U.S. Senator! We need more voices like yours in the U.S. Senate, and Mississippi recognized that. I can’t wait to work together when we get to Washington!

U.S. SENATE: DEMOCRATS SECURE CONTROL WITH 55 SEATS!
Democrats have secured a majority in the U.S. Senate following a series of victories in the 2026 midterm elections.
The latest breakdown:
Democrats: 55 seats
Republicans: 44 seats
Alaska: 1 race still undecided
Scott Colom’s victory in Mississippi has further expanded the Democratic majority.
The remaining Alaska contest between Mary Peltola and Dan Sullivan is scheduled for ranked-choice tabulation on November 18.
The balance of power in the Senate has shifted.
@grok Can you verify the latest Senate seat count and explain what this majority means for next Congress?
Nine members of the Kennedy family have joined the fight against President Trump's proposed arch. Former Congressman Joe Kennedy III believes that "you got to make sure that this is done the right way." He talks with Anderson about why his family is fighting the construction.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was all smiles as she arrived at Temple Emanu-El in NYC for a special conversation with Rachel Maddow about The Weaponization of Justice. She took time to greet fans and pose for photos before heading inside ❤️

Scott Colom, 43 ans, candidat démocrate rencontré le 16 septembre à Greenville, Mississippi, a remporté l’élection au Sénat.
Il est le 1er sénateur noir de cet État conservateur depuis 1881 et le 1er démocrate depuis 1982 @LePoint
Dear @ZelenskyyUa, we stand by Ukraine, in times of war and peace.
Our support matches our resolve.
And both only grow stronger with time.
From meeting your urgent needs this winter.
To securing the financing you need for 2027.
This will be on the table at our EUCO meeting at the end of November.

We talk a lot in Iowa about honoring our veterans. That’s the easy part. The harder part — and what matters most — is making sure they have the support they need when they need it.
As Governor, you have my word: Iowa will stand behind every brave man or woman who serves our country — not just while they serve, but when they come home.
LaVon and I spent the last two days in Washington, D.C. at new senator orientation.
At times it felt like drinking from a firehose. At other times I found myself deeply moved. I want to share a few highlights.
We spent time with Democrats and Republicans together, getting to know each other as people. That’s where common ground begins. Over dinners and at caucus meetings, I could feel the beginnings of productive, friendly relationships.
On the Senate floor, I sat at a desk where generations of remarkable men and women have sat before me. I am humbled that God, and the people of Kansas, have given me this privilege.
I also want to thank my new colleague, Senator Jerry Moran, for hosting me in his office. I look forward to working with him.
There’s so much more I could share. For now, I’ll just say it again: I am grateful for this opportunity to serve the people of Kansas and our country.
Just a working-class guy bringing the fight where it belongs — alongside a whole new class of normies in the House and Senate ready to shake things up.
It’s a new day in Washington. 😎☀️
The work has only just begun. Winning an election is just the first step. Now we need to drive transformational legislation, with leaders that are ready to do that work, and build a party that actually achieves the things we set out to do. https://t.co/pnsk4KA55j
