The Working Families Party has the worst name of any political party ever. I hate Working and I hate my Family. They should call it the Relaxing With Friends Party

Houston controller Chris Hollins calls on city to revisit the HPD-ICE relationship. "Our excuse until now has been that we're doing what Greg Abbott wants because what he says goes. That is no longer the case."

I mean this is absolutely surreal. How the heck could a state that has been ruby red for 3 decades flip to deep blue in 1 election? I mean this is unprecedented.

Current US House delegation in North Carolina: 10 Republicans, 4 Democrats. Results, pending recounts: 10 Democrats, 4 Republicans. (Murphy, Rouzer, Harris, Harrigan are the GOP survivors - but Murphy in likely recount) Stunning. #NCPOL

BREAKING: Democrats just FLIPPED the Georgia House! This is a major win that’s been in the making for cycles. This is the SIXTH election in a row that Democrats made gains in the chamber, all building toward kicking the GOP out of power.

If you are watching this and just have a passing familiarity with elections, just understand you're seeing something special, a 100-year flood. Easily the worst election for a party since 1974.
