What @jamestalarico is calling for in this powerful speech is turning the page not just on a presidency but an entire era and the culture of enmities that it fostered.

Democrat Adam Hamilton will win the Kansas Senate race, CNN projects. It's a seismic defeat of Republican Sen. Roger Marshall in a deep-red state. Hamilton will be the first Democratic senator from the state in 94 years. Follow live updates. cnn.it/4zqBkFz

Call hearings on the Epstein files and investigate the Epstein class’s grip on American power and institutions.

One of the under-sung stories of this victory is the way leftists, progressives, liberals, and moderates learned to be themselves while playing well together. A popular front that tolerated difference. Moderates channeling Bernie. Leftists having moderates’ back and vice versa.

The challenge now is to be as bold as you fantasized about being when you were out of power. Never forget the feeling.

Earnest tweet to thank everyone who didn’t give up on fighting for the country you want even when it got so bleak.

It’s the beginning of the end of Trump. It’s democracy holding. It’s Americans refusing to be ruled. It’s people who rolled the dice on a shakeup asking for another roll. It’s a reward for ardor and envelope pushing and rewriting dogmas. It’s the start of the next America.

I spoke with journalist and author @AnandWrites about his new book, “Man in the Mirror,” which documents the infamous 2023 killing of Jordan Neely, a homeless Black man, by former Marine Daniel Penny on the New York City subway. We discussed the ensuing reckoning over homelessness, race and mental health in America's cities:

On GPS, at 10am & 1pm ET today on @CNN: I’ll discuss post-midterm possibilities with @Princeton prof. Frances E. Lee, Israel’s path ahead with journalist @ronenbergman, and Lula’s stunning win with @amerquarterly’s @BrazilBrian. I’ll also talk with @AnandWrites about his new book, “Man in the Mirror,” which documents the infamous ’23 killing of a homeless Black man on the NYC subway. As youth protests spread through Europe & beyond, I’ll examine the surge of exasperation
