Two former Navy Admirals, women, who were forced out of service at the peak of their careers by Pete Hegseth are going to Congress. And they're replacing two of the worst--Mace and Boebert. Admiral Nancy Lacore and Admiral Eileen Laubacher, exceptional, dedicated leaders continuing to serve.

The AP has called #NC09 for Democrat Richard Ojeda. Ojeda ousted Republican incumbent Richard Hudson... the chair of the NRCC. Which means: The NRCC chair lost reelection due to a new gerrymander that state Republicans drew (with encouragement from national Republicans). Bonkers.
Yeah, I'm having the inverse experience of the week after the 2016 election where it was constantly jarring to remember one unthinkable horror after another was manifesting. Except this time, instead of sudden sinking dread, it's "holy shit, Texas went blue, I forgot about that for a second"

The giant raised his head. Over the metallic rattling of the great subterranean serpent that transported him to the office each day, his keen, wilderness-bred ears had caught a sound. Was this the wailing death rattle of the Red Elephant Death Cult at last? A wolfish grin split Conan's broad face.

Kingfisher & Wombat@tkingfisher.com · 23h agoHey Internet, potential longshot here, but I’ll try. Years ago on Twitter there was a joke account called Conan the Salaryman about Conan at an office. Fun little account. But what I really remember was that terrible November morning in 2016 when he was a fucking LIGHT.
Chuck Hubbard, who just scored one of the biggest house upsets last night in ousting Granny Demon from Hell Virginia Foxx, apparently opened nearly every campaign event with this anecdotes about protecting the rights of his lesbian daughter. He's delightful

hey this is a good place to throw some money they’re gonna need to do outreach here for ballot curing and there might be legal bullshit we could flip fucking mississippi, let’s get it done
Scott Colom@scolom.bsky.social · 2d agoMISSISSIPPI! Our race is too close to call. We are going to make sure every single vote has been counted, and I am confident we will ultimately flip this seat.
let this be the year that you kill the "red state/blue state" map that lives in your imagination. this country's irrational. the median voter is a chaos entity (derogatory) and terrifying. but we're purple from sea to shining sea, neither of which are named for Trump.
Give me competence. Give me accountability. Give me people who pull the plug on the orphan-crushing machine on Day 1 and also punish the people who thought it was just business as usual to crush orphans.
Sean@stholeary.bsky.social · 2d agoSen. Warnock was just asked on CNN if Dems will focus on costs *or* corruption, and he responded "We can walk & chew gum at the same time." Hell yes, that is the message.

It’s not just Talarico beating Paxton. It’s Abbott losing. It’s Dan Patrick losing. It’s Mayes Middleton losing. It’s Bo French losing. It’s every single statewide race in Texas—including four (of the nine) seats on the Texas Supreme Court. Holy. Shit.
Trump hasn’t tweeted in over 3 hours. Musk hasn’t tweeted in over 6 hours. Zero tweets from either since races started getting called.
Update: LOL. FURTHERMORE: LMAO Yeah sex is great but have you ever heard someone tell Steve Bannon that exit polls show that young men are evenly split between Dems and Republicans and he goes silent and then says, in a very soft voice: "that can't be right"
