Analysts said it would take a “political tsunami” to flip the Senate. That’s exactly what happened. First Jon Ossoff won. Then Chris Pappas won. Roy Cooper won. So did Annie Andrews. And James Talarico. And Sherrod Brown. And Adam Hamilton. Well before midnight, the outcome was clear.

America divesting from Europe on defense is not something Trump is causing, and while I'm sure there will be token changes, fundamentally things will stay the same. Even if a democrat president was elected that would still be true.Europe's energy conundrum is caused by Germany (Gerhard Schroder to be exact, ex-leader of SPD in case you're…

Just a little disappointed and insulted! The article infers that voters “ voted for their pocketbook”. That issue was way down the list for everyone I spoke with and for me personally. We voted for their rule of law. For comp,ete parity before the bench and a repudiation of presidential privilege. Trump and his oligarchs need to be driven from…

"With undeniable momentum, Democrats won control of the House and Senate, which will curb Trump’s power after he’s faced few limits from a compliant Republican-controlled Congress." Voters want accountability and action. Dems can and must do both.

❗️Democrats have secured control of both the US House and Senate in a major midterm election defeat for President Trump, according to US media projections. Democrats have reached the 218-seat House majority threshold, while counting continues in several races. Their gains could and will high likely grow further. # Midterms26

I "like" how all prominent election posts are flagged instantly today.I know that HN owners are far-right, but it just proves time and time again that considerable amount of HN users are too.Anything that is against current US administration policy is flagged fast and deemed as "too political for this forum" in the comment section.Politics are…

This part. The best we can actually hope for is a genuine showing of effort to affect change with some small victories along the way. Even that will be a big shift from the Democrats that have been doing a lot of nothing more than pearl clutching and grumbling for several years. But if people hang their fiture voting choices on expecting huge…

With these midterm election results, Democrats have a mandate to fight Trump and deliver for the working class. This is what they should do. https:// theintercept.com/2026/11/04/mi dterm-election-results-democrats-blue-wave

Dems are currently up 0.2% there, and markets put it at 84% likely a Dem win now. 6 hours ago it was 94% against.In the senate race there 2 years ago, GOP won by a 26% margin. Different candidates now obviously, but that’s a huge swing.

Naw fuck you, son. Go be prime minister of Israel, you pedo piece of shit. Gloves are off and plenty of us won't be happy until your entire disgusting criminal cabinet is in prison and your legacy is thoroughly ashes. Whether the dems can actually be motivated to do the right thing, remains go be seen.

Huh. I’m just confused about the people who saw Trump v1 and voted him in again for v2.> Damn man, cutting off my leg seemed like a good idea at the time, but it turned out bad. But a while later, I wasn’t happy with my life, so I thought, what the hell, I’ll cut off the other one too, see what happens. That was bad too! So when my neighbor asked…

It won't happen, but I like the idea of the Democrats going all in my repealing the filibuster to send bills like Medicare for all to Trump's desk. Let him veto it and show Americans what they can expect if they send a Democrat to the White House in 2028.

So long as the Democrats understand and accept their mandate is to govern from the left they will be fine. If any liberal starts talking about reaching across the isle or compromised then we brow beat them back in line.

Democrats have forcefully taken control of Congress, bolstered by a wave of voter dissatisfaction with Republicans and cost-of-living concerns. The party will hold both the House and Senate for the first time under a Republican president in roughly two decades. --- @politico.com

So screwed up that this was flagged. It seems all the election related posts were flagged. You have to wonder why the HN overlords aren't allowing such a major event to reach the front page.
