[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Please remember all the anti-democratic dogs that did not bark today.

ICE did not intimidate or arrest voters at polling stations.

Trump's attempt to disenfranchise voters in California failed miserably.

Trump's planned shenanigans in Alaska no longer matter. Dems already won the Senate.

And we dont have to wait anxiously to see what the House clerk will do on January 3rd regarding the seating of newly elected members. This blowout makes that anti-democratic tactic completely untenable now.

Democrats won big tonight.

But so too did democracy.

Those who predicted democracy's death in America were mistaken.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great.

At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families.

No more excuses.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

The Bulwark can project that Sen. Jon Ossoff will win re-election in the U.S. Senate.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We have intel that Russia is preparing a new massive attack on our country – primarily targeting energy and logistics. The assumption is basically that tomorrow the world will be watching the American midterms, and what is happening here in Ukraine, along with our difficulties with air defense and Patriot missiles, will be overlooked.

We need signals from the world to Russia that will make them feel that terror is no good, that it will bring no gains, and that as long as this war continues, their oil will burn, and they will not be able to make money doing business with the world. We must not play games with Russia’s oil or gas revenues. We must put pressure on Russia in such a way that it has no alternative but to end this war. America can do this.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Regardless of one’s political point of view, there is widespread agreement that we have a corrupt campaign finance system.

Our job: overturn Citizens United, end super PACs and move to public funding of elections.

Democracy means one person, one vote. Not billionaires buying elections.

Follow these guys. Trust me.

[Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

Hey @Meta 👋We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie @instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.

This page is a critical communication tool for reaching Latino voters and mobilizing our community. With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters.

We are calling on Meta to immediately restore the page and provide an explanation for its removal. Voters deserve access to critical election information, especially in these final days. @andymstone

[Democrats Deliver @DemzDeliver]

🚨 BREAKING: Meta has suspended Angie Nixon's organizing account ahead of the midterms.

Nixon is the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Florida.

More reporting suggesting that Musk does indeed have his finger on Starshield's operability. Quite a lot of power for a ketamine-addicted trillionaire in bed with hostile foreign regimes. You might even say this endangers U.S. national security. https://t.co/rGcOIzFv0z

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

"*Disgusted*? Not by the pedophilia, the abuse, the mother who proffered her own children as sacrifices to her lover? No, JD wasn’t 'disgusted' by any of that. He was 'disgusted' by Republicans who wanted no part in Vivek Ramaswamy’s lies."

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision.

More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

[Lara Seligman @laraseligman]

Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. https://t.co/yvd8Xlgxe0

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Bill Green, a well-respected retired sportscaster in Maine, has again come out with TV ads telling Maine voters to cast their ballots for Susan Collins. He did it in 2020 when Collins defeated Sara Gideon. Green is smooth, TV-tested, but I don't think that will comfort girls who can't get an abortion because a Collins-supporterd candidate for the Supreme Court voted with the majority to outlaw Rose vs Wade. Maine can do better. 5 terms is enough. I'm voting for Troy "The Boy" Jackson.

@jonfavs @deedee33955 Dear God, what have we become?

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

I would like to hear our Catholic Vice President explain why they're intentionally choosing to broadcast the death of a human being for the entire world to see, including children.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Simon Andriesz, the whistleblower who exposed links between Epstein & Howard Lutnick, died by suicide.

He was a former senior employee of BGC Partners - a firm founded & run by Lutnick before his appointment by Trump.

British MPs want an investigation.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf.

For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders.

An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

…?

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

We are ruining our own institutions, which is sad for us and great for our enemies.
