Three huge differences between a 50-50 and 51-49 D majority:
1) Having a majority on each Committee versus power sharing/deadlocks requiring discharge petitions;
2) No single D Senator can hijack/block nominations; and
3) Ds can have *two* members absent and still hold votes.

You guys. Don't forget the frustration wrought by Manchin and Sinema. We NEED Wornack! Please donate to his run-off campaign if you possibly can.

Needless to say,Catherine Cortez-Masto's Senate re-election is absolutely wonderful. But we've all got to REALLY work hard for Rev. Warnock now. Brian Kemp and the Georgia GOP establishment will throw their considerable muscle and unlimited financial resources behind Herschel Walker,so we have a HUGE task ahead of us
It's Senator Kelly in Arizona! #Politics
@PaganMother Lol, thank you!
@devBear Oh, thank you!
@foxtrax1 It's a lot of fun to do!
@Dogofalltrees I am new, too, and I'm blown away at how decent and engaging the people are here. Give it some time, come often and browse, and use hashtags to find common interests.
@MariaAragon64 Basically, arrange the glass pieces as you want them and "cook" it in a kiln. (It's a lot of fun).

ICYMI: CNN is now being run by a right-winger. Perhaps that explains some things. #politics

The only seats Republicans have flipped so far are seats that they gerrymandered so they couldn't lose. They are underperforming virtually everywhere else. This is not going as the GOP hoped. The House can go either way—but this is not the red wave the GOP expected.
@Cinny For me, too. Sigh.

Ooooh. Lauren Boebert is behind with 70+% of votes in!
OMG, @Carbonbasedlady, your Miss Mikey and my Miss Wylie could be sisters!
