    RT @Anna_Giaritelli: 👀 Post-election text from tenured ICE source This source and others have lamented to me that the new hires have inadequate training and being assigned to the field with rookies is a liability for experienced officers.

    RT @DevlinBarrett: UPDATE: In Florida, Jason Reding Quinones resigns. He's the third US attorney to leave after being assigned all or part of the "grand conspiracy" investigation, the centerpiece of Trump's retribution campaign

    RT @burgessev: Colom campaign responds: “This desperate stunt from national Republicans is what you do when you know you’re about to lose a race. We’re confident that when every lawful ballot is counted, Scott Colom will be Mississippi’s next U.S. senator.”

    Indeed. After an "ass kicking," as Ted Cruz put it, it's time for some soul-searching. @igorbobic and @alweaver22 take a look at how that's going for the GOP. Spoiler alert: ...

    Republicans Redistricted to Win More Seats. They Won Almost None of Them. Really one of the more amazing results of the election. Makes you wonder if plans by Maryland Dems and others will actually help them

    RT @pkcapitol: Harkin was lead sponsor of ADA Act along with Kennedy in 1990. Now his Senate seat will be filled by someone in a wheelchair getting around Capitol using ADA compliant ramps and such.

    What a poignant closing quote in Iowa Senate race: “When it was all done and they could ride the buses someone asked Rosa Parks, ‘How do you feel about all this?’” Fmr Sen. Tom Harkin said. “She said, ‘Well my feet are tired, but my soul’s at rest.’ So with Josh Turek coming into the Senate my soul will be at rest.” @turek4iowa Read full story in The Iowa Mercury:

    RT @Rayyyfernandez: Top Democrats are sending officials from the DSCC to Mississippi. They’ll be on the ground, along with the Elias Law Group, leading the party’s efforts to ensure all votes are counted. Scott Colom says he is “confident” he is on track to become the first Black senator from Mississippi in well over a century. W/@stephen_neukam

    NRCC chief Hudson conceding his own seat, per @chasepdp — It’s a loss that captures just how badly the election went for Hudson’s party, given that he was tasked with defending the Republican majority in the House. Today is also Hudson’s birthday

    RT @allymutnick: In @PunchbowlNews Midday: Lots of races still uncalled but House Ds are likely to hit 260 seats That could be 46+ seat pick up... In fact, we think the FLOOR for House Dems is 251 seats They are positioned to clear 260, depending on how NC + CO shake out

    RT @AkbarSAhmed: Finger-pointing at Caine + Cooper by US officials has been occurring since the summer. Note it deflects from Trump + others enabling his choices/failed diplomacy - including JD Vance. This strategy could neatly dovetail with Vance's renewed play for anti-war + anti-Isr sentiment.

    Some Trump aides predicting Pete Hegseth will be a target of some of the president's blame, noting the midterm results would have been altered minus the Iran war. Also Centcom head Brad Cooper and chairman of the joint chiefs Dan Caine, who both played big roles in guidance on Iran war.

    RT @pkcapitol: Dems won a generational victory that swept in historic majorities in House, Senate, Govs & key legislatures. It dwarfed '06 & '18 midterm wins. Now comes the battle over the agenda & how to position party for 2028. My @washingtonsun column.
