I've been hearing likely 255, maybe 258? A stunning swing as it is from 214.
Thanks! Love this walloping
Susan Collins has been defeated. Looks like Maine voters finally wised up.
I can’t believe I’m about to go to sleep and have an actual, real chance of waking up to a blue Texas. It was mythical, intangible, a flight of fancy. And now I might see it with my own two eyes. I know I shouldn’t have even looked but I just couldn’t resist.

Friend of mine noted how nice it is that Elmo Muskrat wasted all that money on the election.
Musk still proved that he's a Trillion are willing to dump $400++ million into elections for the lulz.
It's still a bad thing. Trillionare didn't even waste 0.1% of his wealth on this election.
We need campaign finance reform, or at a minimum a concerted effort to punish Musk (and other Billionaires) who fuck with our elections.
Thank you, MAGA, for this generational win. Watching Hannity choke down tears while announcing Andrews' win in South Carolina gave me such a wonderful sense of patriotic schadenfreude.
So it seems we overthrew the government yesterday. Good job, everyone.
But we’ve still got two years of the shitstain, so it’s going to be tough for a while.
We also have to keep the same pressure on the Dem Congress we were putting on the MAGA Congress (or even more because that wasn't enough either).
How many more DSA and generally anti-genocide politicians are in power now? Michigan even elected the anti-Fetterman in El-Sayed. The anti-genocide bloc is no longer a tiny fringe group, it DECIMATED AIPAC last night.
The pro-universal healthcare bloc is no longer a tiny fringe group. The people DECIMATED private healthcare funded Super PACs last night.
People need to understand we accomplished last night. We sent a message to the DNC that every Dem who defies their voter base can lose, no matter how much money they fight is with.
We CANNOT lose that energy
We also have to keep the same pressure on the Dem Congress we were putting on the MAGA Congress (or even more because that wasn't enough either).
YES! For some reason, this is where everyone gets lost. We have these people talking about how voting Democrat won't matter because they're still not going to be effective, they're not left enough, there's no point in ever voting or performing your civic duty and that we should all give up and die.
But like, take the energy and anger you have against Republicans and apply that to the Democrats et. al. when they actually have some kind of power. NOW is the time to push for change. Lean on the old gaurd and show them what we want out of their party. We just showed that we'll cut out the rotted growth of America if given the chance. Dems that don't get the picture should be next.
The fight has ONLY begun.

I cannot believe Texas is going blue! Hell yeah!
Texas fuckery for you: My coworker is a registered voter and Puerto Rican. He tried to vote a few weeks ago, but the lady at the election place got sketchy and told him there's a problem with his registration.
Yesterday he got a new registration card and planned to vote today...but they pulled a switcheroo on the location. The place where all the early voting happened is closed today in favor of an alternate location.
He was a maga voter last election who has since learned, and these barriers to his vote have reinforced his move back from the dark side.

Mississippi was called R, but super close: ~15,200 vote difference with 92% reporting. That would have been insane. I wonder if it's in recount territory. (Independent Ty Pinkins got 19,000 votes, for what it's worth.)

Edit: Too close to call, probably going to head to recount territory either way. Colom ahead by 48(!) votes as of 1:12 AM:

Incredible that with a Fascist government destroying the economy, there are still going to be hundreds of Republicans elected.
I'm relieved more than anything. I really thought Republican fuckery would bone us.
I will nut so hard if Talarico clinches it.
It's been called for Talarico. And Abbot has lost to Gina. Texas is going HARD blue tonight.

Hispanic woman heading to the governor's mansion in TX. Hee.
Tallarico is pulling the Hispanic vote by an insane margin.
