Scott Colom appears set to win Forrest County, named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, who founded the Ku Klux Klan

Twelve years ago, McConnell and the US Chamber of Commerce worked very hard to ensure that Thad Cochran would win reelection and beat a conservative primary challenger.
Cochran was already fading, and resigned halfway into his term. Rs appointed Hyde-Smith to replace her - a historic first female senator for Mississippi, but also a fundamentally lazy politician who never really had to campaign.
Dems made her sweat in the 2018 special, then in 2020. If they beat her, an all-time story of elite meddling in primaries eventually backfiring.

There is one contingency in which I won’t reintroduce the articles of impeachment:
Hegseth resigns.
“Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, the famously anti-Trump GOP lawmaker, told CNN he plans to trigger a vote to impeach Hegseth when Congress returns next week — and multiple GOP sources said they expect it to pass.” cnn.com/2026/11/04/politics/…

I stopped by Renee and Alex’s memorials today and was inspired to see all those who showed up to pay their respects and leave an “I voted” sticker.
We have not forgotten. Accountability is coming.

I am 100% Team Nate in this beef. It’s *obvious* to anyone paying attention that the betting markets just moved over time towards the models. That’s the info they were working off of! They didn’t “discover” anything

Before yesterday, Texas had not elected a Democrat to statewide office in 32 years. Now nearly every key position will be held by a Democrat. newyorker.com/news/the-polit…

Voters did what universities, the media, and many other institutions couldn’t or just refused to do: They repudiated Trump. Jon and Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25), publisher of The Bulwark, assess the new political reality on a new pod, out tomorrow!

This is what all the State Legislatures are looking like.
Dems now have the power to pass the National Voter Compact to effectively abolish the Electoral College.

Substantial ballots are outstanding in Democratic-friendly Hinds County, as well as thousands of affidavit votes. mississippifreepress.org/rol…

I agree. The Minneapolis resistance deserves a bigger place in American history than has been generally acknowledged. It was Waterloo for Trump's authoritarian onslaught.

For all of the president’s bluster, we’ve been routinely holding free and fair elections in his second term in which his party’s candidates have often been getting clobbered, all without incident. A great tribute to the professionals who run our decentralized elections

I cannot believe my eyes and ears. Trump was massively repudiated and hours later he’s back bragging about the ballroom.

Congress really needs to address the problem of shortages in the supply of antipsychotic medications.
