    Here is a breakdown of Democrats' over performance tonight in all 4 contested special elections: SC #HD99: D+13.08% WI #AD58: D+24.90% WI #SD10: D+27.52% IA #HD06: D+20.44% That is an average Dem over performance tonight of D+21.49% That's... significant.

    Cartograms are ugly and often not super informative, but they do help spoon-feed a little education on population density.
    For the record, Walz won re-election easily in 2022, but not because of broad appeal. -> He only won 13 of 87 counties. -> 60% of his vote total came from just 4 counties. -> 2 urban counties (Hennepin & Ramsey) gave him a 400,000 vote cushion. He won the state by 192,408

    This is exactly what I have been saying. The only way to believe the Russian campaign detailed in the indictment has no effect on the election would be to think that political campaigns have no effect on elections.

    #SD10 in Wisconsin is now final. @PattyforSenate wins 54.82%-44.55%. This is a pick-up for the @WisDems. GOP Majority in the State Senate now down to 18-14. (still one vacancy) That is a D+27.52% swing from the 2016 Presidential margin in the district.

    From when I first met the Walz family at the MN State fair back in 2017.
    This is my new favorite T-shit. Thanks to @RepTimWalz's kid, Gus, for posing with his shirt for me! #MNStateFair #MNPol

    Replying to @ActorAaronBooth
    The most likely scenario is that @realDonaldTrump keeps getting his father and grandfather confused.

    This new allegation against @KeithEllison is quite something. #MNPol

    If counting stopped now, Biden would win Arizona and Nevada and therefore 270 electoral voted to Trump’s 268. Trump’s best chance would be faithless electors.

    Amazing reversal in Canada. A 4th Liberal Government.

    Charlie probabily doesn’t know this, but Washington DC has a higher rate of homelessness than any US State and it’s budget is part of the federal appropriations process which involves a signature from...get ready for it... President Donald Trump.
    The highest homeless population in the United States New York City 76,501 Los Angeles 55,188 Seattle 11,643 Washington D.C. 7,473 San Jose 7,394 San Francisco 6,858 Philadelphia 5,693 What do they all have in common? All have Democrat mayors All voted for Hillary by 80%
