#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

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

#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

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

Lol Trump posted a fake NY Post cover from yesterday praising him for his "Donroe Doctrine" and making him out to be a hero. https://www.trumpstruth.org/statuses/43485 The actual NY Post cover yesterday showed Trump getting crushed by a blue wave. https://nypost.com/covers/ So, I guess Natalie Harp hasn't resigned yet. #Trump #midterms

BWHAHAHA! Remember when I was saying just before the election that we would crush and humiliate them and that made it likely that Republicans would defect instead of supporting an attempt to steal the election? Once again, here we are! Marco Rubio is the biggest rat off the sinking ship so far. Dude doesn't think he can win, he just wants OUT. https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/marco-rubio-2028-trump-vance-president-b3079840.html #Trump #midterms #MarcoRubio
