I leaned a new word today: megatsunami. #Midterms2026
Replying to @tedlieu
Yes, megatsunami. It describes an extremely large wave—often hundreds of meters high—usually from a landslide, volcanic collapse, or impact, far exceeding typical earthquake-generated tsunamis.

Genocide is not a Jewish value
🚨"Abdul-El-Sayed...is outperforming Kamala Harris in 2024 in areas like Oakland County, which is a heavily Jewish population. Which tells you there's a lot of Jewish voters who agree with his stance." @JordanChariton exposes the lies that mainstream media sold that being against Israel and the genocide in Gaza meant certain defeat.

Abdul El-Sayed: They try to call you hateful if you believe that Palestinian kids should get to grow up in the land of their forefathers without being murdered by our tax dollars. If you believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, that's not hate. It's love. Michiganders, we want our taxes spent here.

As did the gent in Texas
Not only did he defeat an unprecedented political machine (MAGA. Musk, AIPAC, Big Oil, Big Tech, Big Pharma, & Corporate Dem saboteurs, etc.), but he has also become the first Muslim Senator on the night the most Islamophobic President is dealt his most humiliating defeat 🎉

Of all the upsets and unlikely results tonight, this might be the most amazing. If he wins it might be the biggest upset in political history.

I’ve been with Bernie For 40 years - since he was the lone voice in the senate - speaking out against the Iraq war - worked on both presidential campaign - we had gone so far to the right the new deal was considered radical he made the politically unthinkable the politically inevitable - and the progressive movement he’s led is now thriving - becoming an unstoppable political reality as the only antidote to fascism New deal 2.0
11 years ago I got a call to be part of the rag tag crew after spitballing everyday out into the ether of cable news land about how great he was. Worked with the best people in the world. Never imagined the rollercoaster decade we went through. Thank you to Bernie for the seeing the long game. 30 years in you ran for POTUS. 40 years you paved the way for today. Can’t wait for what’s next.

Ro Khanna's kind words to Hasan Piker and his community. He gives them their flowers for the impact they had on this midterm election cycle: "You did it. It wasn't the establishment politicians who did this. YOU did this. You did this with your passion, your mobilization. You're calling on the party to be bolder. Just keep fighting."
