In case anyone is still wondering what kind of Governor @MarshaBlackburn is going to be…

A piece on the scale of the Democratic victory last night, and how that means the losers really have lost. So many people have exposed themselves by turning into Trump enablers and sycophants. Here is a list of those who should be most nervous.

🇺🇸 Congratulations to Deb Haaland!
I want to congratulate Deb Haaland, a member of the Laguna Pueblo tribe, on her historic election as Governor of New Mexico.
Haaland has already made American history more than once. In 2018, she became one of the first two Native American women elected to the U.S. Congress.
She later became the first Native American to serve as a U.S. Cabinet secretary, leading the Department of the Interior under President Joe Biden.
Now she has reached another historic milestone: becoming the first Native American woman elected governor of a U.S. state.
Congratulations, Deb Haaland! A remarkable achievement and a historic moment for Native American representation in American politics.

HUGE: .@GovKemp will not call a special legislative session, as was discussed, to either redistrict Georgia’s political maps or curtail incoming Gov. Keisha Lance Bottoms’ powers. “The voters of our state have spoken.” @bluestein ajc.com/politics/2026/11/bri…

Last night, Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) told me something I keep thinking about: While Democrats may want to celebrate, they need to remember that this isn't a sporting event. This is Americans sending the strongest signal possible that they are in pain, and hurting, and want help. Now Congress needs to answer that call. It was powerful stuff, and if the party is smart they'll follow his instincts.

Ahead of the election, a Connecticut FBI field office posted that the election was on Wednesday. As an old-school Southern Voting Rights lawyer, I've seen that tactic used many times to suppress the vote. The post was still up Tuesday morning. It's since been deleted. If it was an unintentional error, it would have been down in minutes. Serious investigation needed here. @jamie_raskin

JUST IN: Dems have gained control of the state government of Wisconsin.
For first time since 2010.
They have flipped state Senate & flipped state House, and kept the governorship. Among things they're likely to do: repeal Scott Walker's restrictions on collective bargaining.

Ilhan Omar has won re-election to the United States House of Representatives, defeating Republican John Nagel to secure a fifth term in Minnesota. Few members of Congress have faced what she has faced from Donald Trump. He told her to "go back" to her home country, called her "garbage" and said she "should be in jail" and "sent back to Somalia."
When a man sprayed a liquid at her during a town hall meeting in Minneapolis, Trump suggested that she "probably sprayed herself."
Then he turned the power of the state on her. Trump said the Justice Department and Congress were looking into her finances, and three weeks before the election, about two dozen federal agents raided her Washington home, taking her phone, notebooks, computers and passport.
Her family received subpoenas, as the administration reportedly sought to strip her of her citizenship and deport her. She has not been charged with any crime, and no evidence of wrongdoing has been made public.
Trump used everything he had to destroy a refugee from Somalia, and the voters of Minneapolis sent her back to Congress!
Ilhan Omar won 263,166 votes, or 76.5%, against 55,805 votes, or 16.2%, for Republican John Nagel, a margin of about 207,000 votes. Independent candidate DeVelle Jackson took 24,215 votes, or 7.0%.

It's going to get lost in the narrative but Colorado just went 4D-4R to 8D-0R
WE FLIPPED EVERYTHING
No Colorado Democrat would have believed this 2 years ago.

Democrats should pass single-issue bills that are easy to sell as having a measurable impact on people’s lives and then FORCE TRUMP TO VETO THEM.
His veto threats are pathetic and weak.
Make him own it.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 OFFICIEL !
Victoria Spartz, née en Ukraine, représentante républicaine de l’Indiana ayant voté contre l’aide à l’Ukraine, a perdu son siège.
Elle perd dans un district où elle avait 19 points d’avance en 2024.
Bon vent. La trahison coûte cher. 👋

Pointing out the statute of limitations runs for five years, Gov. Sherrill writes:
"Thus, you could be subject to millions of dollars in penalties long after Trump has left office and his corrupt administration has come to an end." 🔽
Today, I sent a letter putting New Jersey’s port and terminal operators on notice: importing Russian diesel violates federal law and could carry serious civil and criminal consequences.
New Jersey will not stand by while Donald Trump supports Vladimir Putin at the expense of Americans. Instead of lowering costs, these imports help finance Putin’s war against Ukraine and a campaign of violence and terror that endangers our servicemembers abroad.
As a Navy veteran, I cannot let that stand unchallenged. Our ports must not be complicit.

@AbdulElSayed: “JD Habibi, there’s a delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in this January.”
“Donald, look, I know you struggle with my name, so after JD swears me in this January, you can just go ahead and call me Senator.”
Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has defeated Republican Mike Rogers to become Michigan’s next U.S. senator. #USElections #Midterms2026
Congratulations @AbdulElSayed 🎉

🗳️ Election Day has come and gone. But the fight for free and fair elections is far from over.
Now is when we can expect Trump and the GOP — having failed to stop voters from casting ballots — to unveil a fresh round of tactics to subvert the midterms.
