President Biden said he was “surprised” when #ClassifiedDocuments were found in his former office and portrayed it as an honest mistake—but when another batch was found in his garage, pressure mounted to explain what is becoming a crisis of credibility. theepochtimes.com/timeline-of-bi…
The #ClassifiedDocuments case has sparked public interest and drawn legal scrutiny.
Republicans have alleged a two-tier justice system where former President Trump—who faces his own document probe—is seen as being treated more harshly. theepochtimes.com/absolutely-unf…

The @WhiteHouse is facing growing criticism for not disclosing the find of the Biden-linked #ClassifiedDocuments until 2 months after their discovery on Nov. 2—a week before the midterm election.

🧵With the successful re-election of Rep. Larry Bucshon (R) in #IN08, he has become the first congressman in Indiana's 8th Congressional District to win a 7th consecutive term -- since 1932. (1)
"The Bloody 8th" used to be a swing district. It gets mentioned a lot by congressional historians. The Evansville-based district, which stretches to Terre Haute, was called the Bloody 8th because of its swing status, and its fierce battles. #IN08 #Midterms2022 (2)
The Indiana 8th was centered around #Evansville circa 1931. Southern Indiana Democrats were a strong force. They won the seat in 1932 and held it for 10 years. Thus began a decades-long battle for the Bloody Eighth, one that would draw the notice of Newt Gingrich. (3)
Post-midterm reflections THREAD: I am #thankful for every voter who looked at the candidates on their ballot and chose those who respect our electoral process over those who do not, especially candidates running for important election-related offices such as Secretary of State. 
I give thanks for the thousands of volunteers and election officials who worked to ensure that #voting and vote counting proceeded efficiently and fairly. #midterms2022 #VotingRights
I am also thankful for the numerous pro-democracy groups (including @CampaignLegal!) who guarded vigilantly against efforts to disenfranchise #voters, and responded when necessary, including with legal challenges. #midterms2022

THREAD. Ron Klain @WHCOS tells some remarkable lies. On @Lawrence (a gullible guy) Monday night, Klain said "no president ... since John F. Kennedy ... (has held on to) Senate seats and potentially even (went) up one Senate seat." This is untrue; @JonKarl also said this. (1)
The best MIDTERM performance on the Senate side by a party holding the White House since 1960 was:
1) 1962. Kennedy. Dems pick up 4 seats despite midterm.
2) 2002. Bush. Despite recession, GOP picks up 2 seats and control of Senate.
So .. 2022 yet, @MSNBC? No. (2)

2a) Tied for second place is Trump's 2018 midterm. The @NRSC knocked off four Democratic Senate incumbents. The Dems knocked off 2 Republican senators. In the end, the GOP Senate majority *gained* 2 seats in an otherwise terrible midterm. (3)
Rick Scott was a great #FLGov from 2011 to 2019. He rebuilt the Florida GOP and then won the #FLSen seat. But he screwed up with his national plan, trying to build a platform for himself for a national position like Majority Leader. (1)
There's no denying that if you could list five to six things that slowed the GOP momentum in 2022, @ScottforFlorida's plan to vote on Social Security and Medicare every five years was a gift to Democrats, much like Paul Ryan's thick-headed budget plans in 2011. (2)
It makes no difference that Joe Biden lied about Scott's plan by saying the GOP would vote on authorizing Social Security "every year." Scott gave Biden a target, and forced GOP and fact-checkers to write about the plan. (3)
#Midterms2022 Sono Anthony DeLuca (Pennsylvania), e Barbara Cooper (Tennessee) i rappresentanti del partito democratico defunti rieletti alla camera. #USA
Intanto al senato testa a testa tra Repubblicani e democratici, mancano ancora i risultati del #Nevada , e della #Georgia che andrà al ballottaggio il 6 dicembre. #Midterms2022
#ElectionDay came and went with most disappointed the highly anticipated #RedWave didn’t leave Florida. But, with key races from #Midterms still being tabulated, all eyes are on to see who will prevail.
However, most have missed important concession speeches these last few days.
However, most have missed important concession speeches these last few days.
On the night of November 8th, some Republican candidates conceded pretty early. A few without any official results called from any major media outlets.
In this thread, I’m going to expose these RINOs for not even trying to contest the count well before the state cert deadlines.

In District 8, @Kirkmeyer4CO (one tough woman endorsed by our local police/first responders) ran against @YadiraCaraveo (Latina daughter of immigrants endorsed by @PPFA and Dems from across CO)

Longtemps 1 inquiétude des démocrates. Dans 1 de leurs bastions- l'Oregon- même s'il est partagé entre villes du nord (Portland) très à gauche et campagnes trumpistes de l'est, 1 triangulaire pouvait faire de la républicaine Drazan 1 gouverneure. Elle est vaincue par Tina Kotek
2. Ayant passé 1 partie du mois d'août en Oregon, cette campagne pour le poste de gouverneure était 1 résumé des #midterms: Drazan faisait campagne sur l'insécurité de Portland, ville présentée par elle et les antennes locales de Fox News en coupe-gorge.. kptv.com/2022/10/02/4-m…
3...quand Tina Kotek, membre de la gauche progressiste du parti démocrate, qui entendait devenir l'1 des 1ères gouverneures lesbiennes aux Etats-Unis (avec Maura Healey au Massachusetts), a fait 1 campagne axée autour de la défense du droit à l'avortement. nytimes.com/2022/11/10/us/…
THANK YOU election officials/poll workers/volunteers who worked & continue to work to ensure that #Midterms2022 are carried out successfully. Nationally this election has been free of major issues, and Americans should feel confident about the voting/vote counting process.
While many are focused on the horse race for control of #Congress it is worth noting that #Midterms2022 produced a number of pro-democracy gains through ballot initiatives, many of which received strong majority support. #DemocracyWins
#Arizona: The “Voters Right to Know Act” (Prop. 211) brings transparency to elections by requiring election spenders to disclose the original sources of their funding. Thank you @TerryGoddardAZ for leading on this effort. thehill.com/homenews/campa…

Some #Midterms2022 Election Lessons:
A Thread
1. We really need to rethink how we—and how others—use polling data. Sometimes it’s not aimed at reporting. It’s an attempt to persuade—an electoral strategy—more than anything else.

Is Marjorie Taylor Greene ok? Has someone checked in on her? h/t @rerutled
If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim, she would be in Guantanamo Bay and in shackles.
But because she is white, evangelical, and a woman--a rich one at that--Greene is instead a member of Conress in the most powerful country in the world.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the most dangerous politicians in the U.S. today.
That she increasingly represents the face of the GOP speaks volumes about how craven that party is and how complicit white women are in upholding it.
Greene, like Trump, is not aberration

The #Midterms2022 didn’t go as we expected because they had to cheat us out of a Red Wave and I can prove it.
PS: @elonmusk, if your algorithm bands me during this, I’ll never forgive you.

Der weltweite Frieden ist immer noch eine Utopie.
Weltweit herrscht Krieg, auch in Europa, in der Ukraine...
Und die Mainstream Presse – nicht nur die deutsche – mischt mit und übt sich in blinder Kriegspropaganda.

Und die Mainstream Presse – nicht nur die deutsche – mischt mit und übt sich in blinder Kriegspropaganda.
Da der ukrainische Stellvertreterkrieg so lange wie möglich hinausgezögert werden soll, wirken Friedensideen deplatziert oder gar defätistisch. Die Gründe für den derzeitigen Krieg in der Ukraine werden gar nicht erst diskutiert.
Man konzentriert sich auf den Überfall, der einerseits erwartet wurde, andererseits aus heiterem Himmel gekommen sein soll. Mit aller Macht werden Narrative verbreitet und verteidigt:
- völkerrechtswidriger Angriffskrieg Russlands/Putins"
- Aggressor Putin will nicht verhandeln..
- völkerrechtswidriger Angriffskrieg Russlands/Putins"

This is a spreadsheet of Cook Report races which I made based on currently reported results (9am Wed).
+1= Dem Victory
-1=GOP Victory
+0.5= Dem winning
-0.5 = GOP winning
Based on this, right now, I think the Dems hold onto the US House.

סיכום ביניים של ה #Midterms2022 לבקשת @GilBitan :
1. סנאט: כרגע תיקו 48, כלומר נשארו 4 מושבים במירוץ - אריזונה, שם קלי (D) מוביל ב-6% הפרש ועם 33% מהקולות שטרם נספרו; ויסקונסין, שם ג'ונסון (R) מוביל עם 1.2% ועוד 6% שנותרו. רוב ההערכות הן שלא יהיה מהפך ונגיע ל-49-49.

2. מה שמשאיר אותנו עם שתי מדינות מפתח - נוואדה, שכ-20% מהקולות בה טרם נספרו, היא מדינת השחמט כרגע: אם הדמוקרטים ינצחו בה, וזו הערכה סבירה מאוד לאור העובדה שרוב הקולות שנותרו מגיעים בדואר וממעוזים דמוקרטיים, מפלגת השלטון סוגרת 50 ומבטיחה לעצמה רוב (יחד עם האריס).
3. אבל 20% זה המון והפער לטובת לאקסאלט (R) הוא לא בלתי מבוטל (2.7%). אם הרפובליקנים מצליחים לנצח בנוואדה, כל העיניים זזות לג'ורג'יה - עם 0.5% הפרש לוורנוק (D) ועוד 4% מהקולות, סיכוי טוב מאוד שאף מועמד לא מגיע ל-50% ואנחנו ממשיכים לסבב ב' בינואר.

4. 🇪🇺und 🇩🇪 sollten – gleich bei welchem Endergebnis – Unterstützung für #Biden erhöhen. Das geht nur durch glaubhafte transatlantische #Lastenteilung, die bislang leider unzureichend erfolgt. Wäre 1 Mittel, nicht weiter Wasser auf Mühlen von #Trump-Unterstützern zu kippen. 3/5

difficilmente andrà oltre il 49,5%. Dunque sarà sotto la soglia del 50% che serve a conquistare il seggio. Se così fosse prepariamoci ad un ballottaggio thrilling il prossimo 6 dicembre con il Repubblicano Walker.

Historically, the world is in a transition from the global hegemony of the U.S. (or its ruling class) to a multipolar world to the global hegemony of China (and its ruling class, party?).
Historical analogies are risky, but they can open horizons by pointing out common & different historical situations.
The paradigm shift from Western US dominance to Asian dominance is accelerated by Covid19 & the Ukraine war. Century is accelerated by Covid19 & the Ukraine war.

Until 1820, the world's largest economies were always China and India. Only in the last 200 years have Europe and the United States triumphed. Compared to 2,000 years earlier, Western dominance is an anomaly.
Thesis
The USA is and remains an oligarchy. The US-Americans live under the rule of the ruling US-class of the very big fortunes.
The election staging every 2 years and permanent wars are just to keep distracting from that.
