The overturning of Roe had the similar political impact on midterms as 9/11 on the incumbent party.

American women, birthing people, and their allies will end political careers when their bodily autonomy is destroyed.

Have any #Republican lawmakers taken a pregnancy test lately because isn’t that what happens when you miss a red wave??

#usmidterms2022 Trump will not back down. GOP is stuck with him. Trump will threaten to run as an independent, and he will be embraced back.

"The Post had tracked more than 170 election deniers who won their races as of Sunday morning, with all but half a dozen in contests that had not been seen as competitive before Election Day."

Meaning at least 164 election-deniers are now elected officials in the US.

Kaum jemand hat den Niedergang der amerikanischen Demokratie so kräftig befeuert wie Kentucky-Senator Mitch McConnell. Dass er nun mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit nie wieder Mehrheitsführer im Senat wird, macht mich sehr froh. #uspolitics #usmidterms2022

US Dems take Senate.

@charlotteclymer Cortez-Masto is practically there and only the craziest right wing nut jobs will vote for Walker in a race that doesn’t change anything about power dynamics anymore. The red wave has fizzled out to be just a few lost seats in the House and a Democratic pick-up in the Senate. Democrats now need to work towards what they should have already done in 2008 when they had the opportunity: give the US a truly democratic voting system. #usmidterms2022

3 Tage nach den #usmidterms2022 gewinnen die Demokraten wahrscheinlich 1 Sitz im Senat und halten vielleicht sogar das Haus, verlieren es allenfalls sehr knapp, was eigene Probleme mit sich bringt. Die Berichterstattung über eine angebliche rote Welle sieht immer mehr wie schlechter Journalismus aus, der statt zu informieren, die Leute aufpeitscht und die Verschwörungstheorien der Antidemokraten befeuert. Haben wir aus 2016 immer noch nichts gelernt?

An overdue outbreak of positivity from our friends across the pond Republicans who questioned the 2020 results are bringing back an old norm: Admitting defeat https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/republicans-questioned-2020-results-are-bringing-back-old-norm-admitin-rcna56486

Very happy about this! #usmidterms2022 #Pennsylvania #Fetterman

Der großartige @cbouzy sagt seit Wochen, dass es keine rote Welle bei den #usmidterms2022 geben wird. Falls er recht behält, wird die aufgeregte Berichterstattung im Vorfeld Wasser auf die Mühlen der election deniers sein, Trump hat schon erste Unregelmäßigkeiten behauptet.

Dropped off my vote earlier this morning in OR. Time to turn off social media until the dust settles.

Is there anywhere to follow on Mastodon that will give me as comparable info about the #USMidterms2022 and related dramas without my needing to go to the Birdsite?

Just got back from what is likely the last #camping trip of the fall. Nice long weekend with the kids out of school until after the #USMidterms2022 tomorrow.
