A day free of malarkey.

More important than anything, Steve Kornacki finally can get some sleep:

The only tweet from BC (Before the Call) I’m including

If you need more Steve Kornacki content, enjoy Twitter’s own version of TOTI.

It’s not all sunshine and roses. Democrats fell short on Senate, House, and state legislature races, and the progressive and centrist wings of the party are once again in a fierce debate over the future of the party. This AOC interview was making the rounds today:

But for now, shout out to the Biden campaign staffers, who did more than the rest of us to end this nightmare and were robbed of the chance to celebrate in-person tonight.
