#midterms

My God, how did I miss this David and Goliath story in the #midterms? An #LGBT mom took on one of the most homophobic #GOP Congress critters (a crowded field of homophobes!) and won. IN RURAL #TENNESSEE. It mystifies me that any of the old "guard" can think that this country hasn't fundamentally changed in the last two years. I'm at the heart of it going to the protests, but come the fuck on, how do you even get enough Beltway brainworms not to know by now?

From Justin Miller: Last summer's move by #Republicans to redistrict #Texas, under marching orders from Pres. Trump, was seen as a politically dicey maneuver at best. In hindsight, they were completely high on their own supply. https://www.texasobserver.org/yep-texas-got-dummymandered/#politics #midterms #Texas #news

#Minneapolis resisters marched yesterday, saying they were there to celebrate the wins of the Midterm Election, to send a message that they expect winners of elections to keep promises, and to keep a weather eye on any attempts to sabotage the transfer of power. #50501movement #midterms

#Iowa Democrat Eric Armstrong had to drop out of his race in September due to health issues. His opponent, of course, continued to campaign until the end. Armstrong still won BY TEN POINTS and is getting ready to try to serve despite whatever is going on with his health. Thank you, sir, for doing your best. Your country needs you. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/elections/2026/11/05/council-bluffs-eric-armstrong-iowa-election-results-blue-wave/92626135007/#midterms

Keep up the great work, team! It ain't over till it's over! We cannot afford to have "leadership" owned by the tech fascists we just risked our lives to defeat. #House #midterms #HakeemJeffries

Let's go check in on how MAGAs are coping... OH MY! Somebody in New Jersey has Talarico Derangement Syndrome. https://www.reddit.com/r/newjersey/comments/1xpcodu/the_owners_of_dutch_olgas_greenhouse_in_hazlet/#MAGA #midterms #NewJersey

These people have always known they were FOS. As I've been saying since early 2025, the hate party is only fun until the economic music stops. #midterms

When the media outlets were discussing firsts in this election, many of which were wonderful and inspiring, I cringed to see them include Byron Donalds as "first Black governor of Florida." Bishop Talbert Swan put it this way. 😂 😭 He commented, "Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad." #midterms

Don't you wish you'd been there? #Texas #Senate #midterms

There's one on the other border too! #midterms

Here's Marc Elias on the ballot fight: https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/live-updates-mississippi-senate-race-heads-toward-ballot-fight/ #Mississippi #Senate #midterms

#Senate in #Mississippi is another race we're all watching, of course. The state government kicked a bunch of blue voters, probably mostly Black people, off the voter roles. They had to vote with provisional ballots. The Nazis are going to try to challenge those-- I mean, they'd stop digging the hole they're in if they were wise, but Nazis are the definition of unwise. Anyway, I'm waiting to celebrate on that too until it's done and dusted. In the meantime... #midterms

Outlasted by lettuce meets diarrhea lettuce. What a crew! #midterms #MAGA

Featured story: Just over a year after an ill-advised power grab through redistricting, congressional Republicans failed to flip a single one of the South Texas seats that they redrew for their own purported benefit. https://www.texasobserver.org/yep-texas-got-dummymandered/#Texas #Republicans #TXlege #news #midterms #politics

I don't even know what a railroad commissioner does but this is awesome. Bo French was that guy who got his knickers in a twist that nonwhite students were cheering at a UT football game. He even grosses out other Nazis. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/nov/04/jon-rosenthal-texas-railroad-commissioner #Texas #midterms

There will be recounts and all kinds of lawsuits and God knows what but #Mississippi may well elect a Dem senator, Scott Colom! If that happens, then it might be due to Ty Pinkins splitting the Republican vote. On purpose. https://www.wtva.com/2026/11/04/what-i-actually-did-was-split-republican-vote-ty-pinkins-shares-why-he-stayed/#midterms

NEW: Missouri Voters Just Made It Much Harder for Lawmakers to Overturn Citizen-Led Initiatives For years, Missouri Republicans worked to undo or restrict voter-approved laws and amendments. In passing Amendment 6, voters have not only protected the ballot initiative process but also dramatically strengthened their power over the legislature. https://www.propublica.org/article/missouri-voter-ballot-initiatives-amendment-6?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Missouri #Government #Democracy #Election #Elections #Midterms #Law
