Polybius's JournalCongressman-elect Max Rose on supporting Pelosi: "Absolutely Not"
I like him and I'm glad that he won, and I really do get that you have to sometimes move right to get elected in a red area, but he already won. Why go on Fox News? No reason to mingle with the enemy, nor put it that way. Fox is poison. In spite if this though, I think he'll be a good Congressman that keeps getting re-elected for years to come.
Jeff Sessions will run for Alabama Senate in 2020 against Doug Jones
You heard it here first. He would get the Republican nomination with ease, and be the heavy favorite in the GE.
Holy shit Montana Senate
Its now dead even. Lots of time to win but I didnt know it would be this close.
Edit 58% in. 49.1 Rosendale, 47.9 Tester. Yikes.
Looks like the Republicans/Russians can only hack into statewide races
At least for now. We did well in so many of the local races, often exceeding expectations. Yet in the Senate, we lost every close race. MO was just called and all that's left is AZ, which we're losing. It's no coincidence.
Will there be any major upsets on Tuesday?
By "major upset," I mean if a candidate wins that is down by 8-10 points or more. So for example, Beto O'Rourke winning wouldn't be a major upset, since he is down 4-6 points in most polls. Heitkamp beating Cramer would be though, as would Hugin beating Menendez.
I don't think we'll get any gubernatorial or Senate major upsets. I do think we'll win a lot of elections where we're 5 points behind. Beto takes it. I'm a little less confidant in Bredesen winning in TN, but I think it will be a close all-nighter. Certainly possible.
Exactly 10 years ago today, Barack Obama was elected President
November 4, 2008. Time sure does fly! In honor of this, let's replicate the feeling of celebration this Tuesday!
Supreme Court agrees to hear a case that could determine whether Facebook, Twitter and other social
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could determine whether users can challenge social media companies on free speech grounds.
The case, Manhattan Community Access Corp. v. Halleck, No. 17-702, centers on whether a private operator of a public access television network is considered a state actor, which can be sued for First Amendment violations.
The case could have broader implications for social media and other media outlets. In particular, a broad ruling from the high court could open the country's largest technology companies up to First Amendment lawsuits.
That could shape the ability of companies like Facebook, Twitter and Alphabet's Google to control the content on their platforms as lawmakers clamor for more regulation and activists on the left and right spar over issues related to censorship and harassment.

Note: How does everyone think this case will and should go?
