Do you not get MSNBC in Canada? Just curious because that would be a pity. Steve Kornacki is the best at breaking down the vote and what is likely left. Woot!!! Cortez Masto just went into the lead by ~5000 votes in NV. And most left are still likely to be for her. ---

Love kornacki, he is so kinetic. In an odd coincidence, there were fire works going off in philly. There is a venue that has fireworks at the end of receptions, and they are going off now. ---

I respect that. I think you would enjoy U.S. Election nights on MSNBC just because watching Kornacki run the numbers and explain things is fascinating. ---

Yep, it’s called. So the runoff is to see if Kamala Harris has to vote. I think Warnock should win. I hope the Dems emphasize still showing up to give them 1 more senator. ---

I’m taking a pause to silently thank the January 6th Committee for educating the public about what Trumpism really means in terms of threatening democracy, and especially the sacrifices of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Also thanks to Joe Biden, who steered the rudderless ship of the USA with steady, experienced if aged hands. He knows his priorities and he sticks to them. He doesn’t get nearly enough credit. Also drinking a celebratory beer. 🙂 ---

One of the pundits earlier referred to that race as Democrat heart attack insurance. ---

I hope this decisive call came just as Trump and Tiffany were doing the father-daughter dance at her wedding. It’s the perfect icing on that wedding cake. ---

> [@Kolak\_of\_Twilo](#): > > One of the pundits earlier referred to that race as Democrat heart attack insurance. I would not press the brakes at all. Put money into that election and go down there with Obama and everyone else and press all Americans to vote for Warnock. I saw the other day that 88% of Evangelical Christians voted for Walker over Warnock. Warnock is a pastor and Walker…well, let’s just say he isn’t. ---

I think part of the duties of the Democrats’ Senate Whip now has to include ensuring every senator makes regular trips to the Senate gym.
