Holy shit America I have never loved you more. Can't believe I'm staying awake all night for election results in a country I don't live in, but I don't think it's exaggerating to say that this election might literally save the world, so, good job, everyone over there! We love you!

MADDOW: While it's common for one of the houses of Congress to flip to the opposition party, it's exquisitely rare for the opposition party to flip both chambers. It's only happened three times since WWII.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most people will see in a lifetime, only to lose a Senate race in Texas by double digits. This is a reminder that we must overturn Citizens United. But it's also a reminder that organized people can still defeat organized money.
