Virginia’s next Governor is Abigail Spanberger! She will bring people together and get things done for Virginia. Congratulations on your victory!

What we know, final edition of the night:
[Now in 3 parts]

—Prop 50 wins
—VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG
—Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS
—Dems defend NJ-Gov
—Dems win NJ+VA trifectas
—Mamdani wins
—PA Dems win state supreme court
—ME anti-mail voting measure loses
—GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

You guys…

🇺🇸 Congratulations to VoteVets-endorsed Stacey Carroll, a US Army Reserve Veteran, on her impressive victory in the Virginia House of Delegates District 64! VoteVets invested in her Red to Blue campaign with a $140,000 cable ad buy in her district.

Prop 50 passed! Sweeping win across the East Coast! Pop the champagne, baby. 🍾🥂

Let's do this over and over again until we take back our democracy! 🗳

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.

I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

The latest, 11pm:

—Prop 50 wins

—Dems win NJ-Gov
—Mamdani wins
—PA Dems win supreme court

Word of the Day: SHELLACKING #Shellacking

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

AOC: We know that Donald Trump has not only been convicted of committing crimes, but that the supreme court has given him a blank check to continue to commit crimes while in office. So we cannot underestimate the threat and the danger of this moment. But we cannot respond to that with cowardice.

Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Pentagon takes step toward potentially privatizing commissaries Defense officials want to know if private grocers and investors could operate commissaries while maintaining the commissary benefit.

Senate Republicans poke holes in the filibuster despite vowing to protect it Facing Democratic opposition, the GOP has discarded a series of precedents and weakened minority power in order to vote through Trump's nominees and legislation.

Y’all. Republicans are FINE with poking holes in the filibuster. They did it ten days ago so they could confirm 48
Trump appointees at once. Don’t let them tell you they can’t pass a CR without Dems. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

Erasing history.

Outrageous.

If by “torn cornea” you mean “the hypocritical optics of teaming up with convicted sex trafficker Gislaine Maxwell to alleviate the Epstein files saga”, then sure.

Senator @campbell4tn.bsky.social is correct. Senator @MarshaBlackburn is lying.

Never has cutting $1 Trillion from a program “strengthened” it. She thinks we are all
idiots.

People will lose coverage. Hospitals will close. All for a tax cut for herself and her donors.

He’s right.

A disabled US veteran and citizen is still missing after ICE raided Camarillo yesterday. The family can’t get answers from authorities.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
