Broke ass nigga thought he was actually getting $5k LMFAOO
Imagine voting against $5000 in your bank account 🤦♂️
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump pledged $5,000 to adult U.S. citizens if Republicans retained Congress in 2026 midterms. Democrats won both chambers, so it does not apply. Similar prior promises went unfulfilled; it needed congressional approval and would cost over $1T.

The Mississippi Senate race is an extraordinary story. If you dig up the history between the two Scott Colom (Dem) vs Cindy Hyde (GOP). This guy Colom was minding his own business and was on track to be a district judge (local bi partisan choice btw) under Biden.
But Hyde Smith the current Senator wouldn't give her approval, she blocked Colom's nomination and that was the end of his district judge path. So last year Colom decided to run against Hyde Smith. He is within striking distance of becoming the first black Senator for Mississippi since 1871, and the first Dem Senator since 1989.
Extraordinarily, Scott Colom is on track to win the uncalled Senate race in Mississippi (the last margin I saw was 39 votes but the remaining count favours him, as Kornacki shows in this clip).
Colom is a black attorney who ran on a "Common Sense" economic-populist platform aimed at daily life: gas, groceries, healthcare and closing hospitals, plus Medicaid expansion. He won many switchers, and the Republican vote collapsed. That’s how a race which was classed likely or safe Republican until the final week was flipped.
This will turn out to be a more than ten-point swing in a poor red state in the Deep South. Swing voters are more volatile than ever, especially when they’re economically hard pressed. They respond to common sense, and they’ve decided Trump and the Republicans are not on their side.
Fierce attacks on Colom’s socially liberal track record on some issues didn’t dent him. He said he was Christian and has always been “pro-life”, but that he would trust his daughters to make their own decisions.

Scott Colom, speaking now, says he’s confident “we’re going to win” in Mississippi and that they “will protect the process of this election”
He’s currently up 43 votes in his race for U.S. Senate

Louisiana’s Jamie Davis lost by less than 2 points.
Yet he was the only Democratic candidate in a close Senate race to get $0 in national ad money.

I took this photo at a @BetoORourke rally in Round Rock, TX in 2018. @jamestalarico is right beside him. Years later, he will be our next senator. I am so proud of my fellow Texans and how long we have fought to get here. 💙🥲

On Election Day, the American people spoke loud and clear: they are done with the corruption, incompetence, and callousness coming from the White House and the capitulation of Republican leaders. As I traveled the country to campaign for Democrats up and down the ballot, I witnessed the resolve of the people to turn pain into purpose, and anger into action.
I congratulate all the great candidates who ran fantastic races and the thousands of volunteers who made calls, knocked on doors, and ensured Democrats won resoundingly.
Now, the work begins to actually deliver results. The American people have elected Democrats across the country in federal, state, and local races who must be ruthless in using every lever of power to deliver economic relief for working families and hold this administration accountable for their deep-seated corruption.
The people demand nothing less.

Like y’all don’t get it. EVERY dem was scared to run against Abbott after Gina tried recruiting them so she did it HERSELF. This is almost so unbelievable but she deserved it so much
Tonight, I make a solemn promise to every single Texan. Whether you voted for me or Governor Abbott, or felt so betrayed by a broken politics that you did not vote at all.
Hear what Texas said today, loud and clear: Your government belongs to you. And as your governor, I will never forget it. There will be no special set of rules for the wealthy and powerful. No looking the other way when someone in my own party does wrong.
The trust you have placed in me tonight is not a blank check. It is a sacred responsibility. And I intend to earn it every single day.
