Quote by BobR:
Some comments from my friend August:
For the first time in history, more than 100 members of Congress are women.
At some point, Democrats in power will need to acknowledge and combat the blatant reality that Republicans do not think all people should vote, do not want all people to vote, and actively work to prevent all people from voting. There's no "working together" on this.
The Republicans are the minority in this country. That doesn't negate that they're in power, but it's important to work with that mindset clear in your head.

GA-Gov is going to a runoff election.
Breaking: The @RepDeSantis and @AndrewGillum fight is not over for the Florida governorship. The Gillum camp offers numbers are closer with a difference of 15 Thousand votes between the two. @AndrewGillum folks contend they are not giving up! More votes remain to be counted.

The Texas State Board of Education is now run by Democrats. That's a huge win for me.

To deal w harassment & filth spewed at GOP MOC’s in tough seats every day for 2 yrs, bc of POTUS; to bite ur lip more times you’d care to; to disagree & separate from POTUS on principle & civility in ur campaign; to lose bc of POTUS & have him piss on u. Angers me to my core.

Trump is either going to have a total mental breakdown (at this rate not far to go), or he will have a heart attack or stroke because he's not healthy.

SESSIONS JUST GOT SHITCANNED
People: this is the crucial moment. We’re at the precipice. With @realDonaldTrump ousting Sessions, it’s only a matter of time until he sacks Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein. Eliminating both thorns, he then dismisses Robert Mueller... and all hell breaks loose!https://t.co/YDh474AwEh

Mueller no doubt anticipated this. I would not be surprised if there were indictments ready to go or even indictments already handed up but under seal. His report on obstruction issues is presumably done.

CNN's @LauraAJarrett reports that Rosenstein is expected to be at the White House at 4pm.

Given his record of threats to undermine & weaken the Russia investigation, Matthew Whitaker should recuse himself from any involvement in Mueller’s investigation. Congress must take immediate action to protect the rule of law and integrity of the investigation. #FollowTheFacts

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller and has overseen his probe from the beginning will stay in his post, according to the official.

Kemp was using his power as SOS to rig the election in his favor which I think is why Abrams is refusing to concede and there is still the Greg Palast suit against the voter suppression as well.
