looking at this map and democrats picking up NINE seats is still unbelievable
Tough to see how Democrats find four pick-ups on the 2026 Senate map. So unless there's some strange vacancies or upsets, Republicans will have at least four years of judicial appointments

Hinojosa: I say that the left right paradigm just does not meet the moment of our time. What this is about is about 99.9% of us in the same boat against like 15 billionaire tech guys who are controlling government…

The party that elevates Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17 yr old killer, & tears down Gus Walz, a 17 yr old with special needs who loves his dad, is a party that needs to be lit on fire & thrown in the dumpster & plunged into the deepest depths of the ocean never to be seen again.

Straight people are so annoying. If a hot professional hockey player wants to thirst trap with macaroons and accidentally post his uncut tip in the process, LET HIM!

Anyone seeking to understand the midterm’s lessons should start here: Democrats won by being populist economic fighters who were unafraid to call out the corrupt politicians and corporate interests who have rigged the system at the expense of everyone else.

It really is impressive how Pete is the Forrest Gump of the 2026 midterms, he was literally everywhere, helping all these people win races nobody expected to win
In a district that few in Washington thought would be competitive, Fred Wellman put in the work to build a campaign that could win. I saw it for myself in Missouri this year, and I was proud to be in his corner. Congratulations, Fred!

2018 Whitmer +9.6 Stabenow +6.5 Difference of 3.1 There was no midterm Senate race in 2022 2026 (as of right now) Benson +10.7 El-Sayed +7 Difference of 3.7 El-Sayed ran almost as close to Benson in 2026 as Stabenow ran to Whitmer in 2018. Stabenow was an incumbent Senator. Some context for the narrative.

Yesterday was a historic night for Senate Democrats. Even before accounting for AK and MS, where Democrats are favored, they have already flipped more Senate seats in states the president won by 10+ points than all opposition parties combined over the past 40 years.
