This is the final Cook Political Report rating pre election. Dems won every "Likely D "seat. They won every toss up seat. They won or are ahead in 7 of the 18 "Lean R"'s, they won 7 of the 17 ""Likely R". Dems won all their likely or safe seats, Dems also picked up 2 "solid" R seats.

Nobody here saw this coming. Nobody.
Hard pressed to find a bigger shock in the country
FLASHBACK: “DesJarlais was going to run unopposed, I said over my dead body — he paid for 3 abortions for his wife and mistresses… you do you, but don’t take our rights away.”
Victoria Broderick just appears to have won by 280 votes. Incredible. #TN4

Mallory McMorrow on Haley Stevens: It feels like it's more about her feelings than Michiganders. Politics is not easy. I was in this primary too. It was one of the most brutal, ugliest primaries I have certainly seen. But there is too much on the line right. It is a choice between MAGA and Michigan. And I'm on team Michigan

NEW: Statement from Epstein survivor Annie Farmer on Todd Blanche's hearing today: "The Senate must not reward this record of failure, deception, and disregard for survivors. We urge the Senate not to confirm him."

"The success of the US mens national soccer team comes in spite of Trump, not because of him. Half of the roster is made up of dual citizenship holders, foreign-born players, and children of immigrants. Coach Mauricio Pochettino is Argentine. This team is a repudiation of everything Trump stands for and is working towards. It could never exist in the world that Trump has tried to bring about with his brutal immigration crackdowns and isolationist foreign policy. You can’t take credit for the success of the team while simultaneously trying to eliminate the conditions necessary for it to exist."

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Ellison: "I've never been prouder to be a Minnesotan. I'm so proud of the people who helped their neighbors, who stood up for their First Amendment rights. I hope it's over and now it's a time to heal and put things back together again."

.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄.
I watched. I learned. And now I get it.
That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love.
Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game.
The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics.
That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️
And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.
It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

The arrests of journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi are a dangerous escalation of attacks on the press by the Trump administration. Our democracy depends on a free press reporting the facts.

Journalists arrested on bogus charges; citizens executed in the streets by masked secret police; election offices raided at the direction of an intelligence agency; oil executives notified of a military invasion before Congress. Putin’s America is here.
I’m confident Don will prevail, but make no mistake: the First Amendment is under its greatest threat since our founding.

ALT DFL Party Statement on Trump and Bondi's Attempt to Extort Our State Voter Rolls "Donald Trump and Pam Bondi are demanding access to Minnesotans’ voter rolls in exchange for relieving us from the federal siege we are under," said DFL Party Chair Richard Carlbom. "Let us be direct: Fuck off."
