This has been the most rewarding, exhilarating, and exhausting 19 months of my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. None of this is possible without all of you — the people. The people who knocked doors, canvassed, made phone calls, sent texts, volunteered, donated, shared a social media post, spread the word, and voted. This is OUR seat. I’m going to make you proud. Thank you, Michigan!

Annoyed BBC cut off @ossoff’s victory speech in Georgia, because it was the best political speech I’ve heard since Obama - and a much more urgent and devastating analysis

Last night, Americans made a clear call for accountability and affordability. A body politic cannot recover until its harms have been treated and its wounds have been healed. Crimes against our people and our Constitution must be answered for. The historic abuses of the last two years must be prevented from happening again. American families should be able to thrive, not just survive. Every child should have the chance to live up to his or her full potential. The American Dream must be more than a mirage. I am confident Democrats can deliver both, and much more. The post-Trump era begins now.

'I watch Fox all day'. And that, my American friends, is a big reason why millions of your fellow Americans voted for a corrupt pathological lying rapist. Rupert Murdoch is a cancer.

Last night Trump said he could have won Vietnam in a week. His plan was “going after Ho Chi Minh City.” Ho Chi Minh City was Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. Our ally. The enemy’s capital was Hanoi. We bombed it. He called the presidents who fought that war stupid, then explained how he’d have won it by attacking our own side. 58,220 Americans died in that war. Trump got five deferments. Now he’s telling the rest of us how easy it would have been. He’s had more than fifty years to learn which side we were on. He still hasn’t. That alone should disqualify him from sending anybody else’s kids to war. Instead, he’s weighing more strikes on Iran after Tuesday. His administration has reportedly considered using the “mother of all bombs,” the one he calls “like a tiny nuclear bomb.” The man who thinks we should have bombed our ally’s capital gets to choose the targets.

Horrendous. An "humanitarian" targeted a center providing humanitarian aid and then used the well-documented tactic of the double-tap to kill even more people. The death toll is now of at least 26 murdered by the russians. When will we finally take decisive action and stop them?
An utterly horrific Russian attack on the settlement of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region. Since this morning, the settlement has been hit several times by aerial bombs. The strikes targeted a school used for humanitarian purposes – people were receiving humanitarian aid there. After the first aerial bomb strike, there was a double-tap strike with nine more bombs, specifically targeting the shelter where people were taking cover. Tragically, 18 people have already been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Five people have been injured. A rescue operation is underway at the site, and the search for people continues. It is extremely difficult. Military forces, first responders, and special services are involved. The Russians could not have been unaware that every week, local residents who had remained in Komyshuvakha received humanitarian aid at that very location. And this is further proof that Russia wants no de-escalation and no real justice. After the humanitarian operation in Oleshky, there was a moment when the next steps could have shown that progress toward peace was possible. With these killings, Russia is sending an entirely opposite signal: Russia is counting on more killings. There must be a response to this – a response from the world. A strong and tough response. A response to Russia. And support for Ukraine. We must protect lives. Thank you to everyone who is helping!

Whoopi Goldberg on 🎭Patrick Stewart: “On Friday we lost a wonderful actor and great human being. We went way back and I adored him.” “He could do everything. He could do drama, science fiction, comedy and of course, Shakespeare." #PatrickStewart

WATCH: No one besides Trump himself has done more than Cleta Mitchell to turn elections into mortal combat. Despite having no official role in the administration, “she has the president’s ear,” said her close ally, Steve Bannon. More: propub.li/4iPxNuh

Glad people are beginning to realise that Jason Arday was not an oligarch, but a relatively obscure Cambridge Professor from a black working-class background, who had managed to overcome learning difficulties to write 29 highly cited, peer-reviewed papers. (4 others now cleared)
If an oligarch had used the Metropolitan Police and Carter Ruck to silence a journalist, would that be similarly brushed over and forgiven?
