If Twitter collapses, news gathering will collapse to an extent, because this site is where people go to elude paywalls, debunk propaganda, find primary sources. It's an archive. A very messy, flawed archive. But an incredibly valuable one, esp when the old world is dead.

New: As province says feds need to step up to bail out Toronto, Deputy PM's spokesperson tells me 8 out of every 10 dollars spent to fight the pandemic has already come from Ottawa, and "the provinces have a particular responsibility to support their municipalities."

HISTORY. MADE. For the first time since 1934, the party who holds the WH didn’t lose a *single* state leg chamber. AND we gained 2 new trifectas. I believe that the @StatesProjectUS historic investment made the difference. Here’s why.🧵 axios.com/2022/11/11/state-l…

NEW: WA-3 represents the *first* race in the country that Cook Political Report rated as lean Republican that Dems have won.
It's also almost entirely because of Trump, who pushed Kent to unseat Rep. Herrera Beutler (R) bc of impeachment.
Kent then lost the general election.
