CNN has decided that this is still too early to call
Did the guy who normally calls the races die of COVID or something?
Oh look at the drama I don't know if "No" can hang on here
Oh no guys, we fell below 70%. Is that the start of a Republican comeback????
Well there we go folks. That it took this long was embarrassing (for the AP and MSNBC who took this long as well). One again @Redistrict does the best calls in the business.
Note: margin will close from this obviously but it's still gonna be a blowout.

Since nobody seems to understand, here's a thread on Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal. First: This is Israel's proposal. Joe Biden didn't invent it. They made it. Their war cabinet agreed to it. Including Netanyahu. Right now, they are messaging around it to their far right base 1/
Which is why Netanyahu is playing up the parts of it that sound like tough guy talk. He is trying to keep Ben Gvir and Smotrich from bolting his government. But he's never denied anything about the proposal. And the messaging from him towards Hamas as very distinctly changed 2/
For months, he has been saying that even if Hamas released all the hostages, after they did so, Israel would resume the war and keep fighting until Hamas is destroyed. His new messaging is that a permanent ceasefire must include the political and military dismantling of Hamas 3/
In MAJOR news (aka something that will immediately help millions of people), the Biden admin has announced that the SAVE Plan is ready to be implemented before repayment starts. This will significantly lower monthly payment amounts here is what the SAVE plan does: 1/
The SAVE Plan is the new income driven repayment plan: 1. It raises the "discretionary income" cap from 150% to 225% of the federal poverty level. That means you pay 0% of your income. If you make under $33,000 and are single, you pay nothing. It increases with household size.
2/
2. The repayment amount for undergraduate loans is cut from 10% of discretionary income to 5%. That means if you are single and make 60k a year, you payments would only be $135 a month. 3. Grad loans stay at 10%, but your undergrad/grad percentage is mixed together.

I've made several accomplishment threads over Joe Biden's first two years and I've put them together for easy access in one place for reelection "What Has Biden Done" questions.
Have you seen this graphic around Twitter? The great @briantylercohen created it based off a list I put together of President Biden's first year accomplishments. While it is outdated, it is still the most detailed list out there.
I am confused as well. The official role of the VP is to break ties in the Senate, something she's done the 2nd most in history of, including to pass the major legislation of the ARP and the IRA.
Unofficially, it's to serve the President's agenda, which she's done in spades 1/
She's travelled the world to represent the admin, including going to Munich in the days before Russia's invasion of Ukraine to meet with NATO and Zelenski, to Asia to counter China, and most recently to Africa on a wildly successful trip to strengthen relations 2/
Domestically, she's been the administration's point person on Dobbs, travelling the country to dozens of states to meet with legislators and activists about abortion rights, and she gave the administration's 50 years of Roe address. 3/
Wow! A judge who committed felony crimes by running her own personal debtors prison for financial gain? There must be a lot of news stories on that, and not just this guys thread when you Google it!
I mean, come on guys. So anyways, the misrepresentation about Keva Landrum: 1/
The Orleans Criminal Court as a whole, not Keva Landrum, was sued over aggressive enforcement of court cost and criminal fines. Orleans Courts, long before Keva Landrum, were required to fund a significant part of their budgets from court costs. 2/
Not to "personally profit", but because the City Council required budgets to be funded that way, since they didn't want to do it themselves. The judge ruled that the Courts didn't given defendants a proper forum to argue that they couldn't pay the court courts 3/
1. The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act fights ALL hate crimes, not just anti-Asian ones 2. Emmett Till Antilynching Act made lynching (any bias-motivated violence that causes serious bodily injury) a federal hate crime 3. $600M to fix the Jackson, MS Water System
4. Signed law to make Juneteenth a federal holiday 5. $2.7B for HBCUs from the ARP 6. Gave grants to HCBU for security after bomb threats 7. Appointed more black women to Circuit Courts than all other Presidents combined 8. Appointed first BW to Supreme Court
2/
9. $1B for Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program to rectify the racist impact of the highway system on communities of color 10. $3B for Neighborhood Access and Equity Grants to further the work of Reconnecting Communities
