The GOP really fucking didn’t want this hed before 2200MST.

Democrats have regained control of the US Senate, routing Republicans nationwide with historic victories that will give them powerful new leverage over Donald Trump for the remainder of his presidency.

Democrats will soon have the ability to hold up not just Trump’s legislative agenda, but also any appointments he makes to his cabinet or the federal judiciary – including the supreme court, where conservatives have a 6-3 majority.

Together with their likely triumph in the House of Representatives, Democrats are expected to have full control of Congress beginning next year, for the first time since 2022.

The party regained control of the Senate after their candidates won in a host of states where they hadn’t had success in years, if not decades, including South Carolina, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Iowa and Kansas, according to the Associated Press.

Vote counting is ongoing in Minnesota and Michigan – where the party hopes to hold seats vacated by retiring Democrats – as well as Maine, where Susan Collins is the last Republican senator representing a blue state. Democrats also hope to unseat two-term Republican Dan Sullivan in Alaska, but the result in that race may take days to be decided.

So, I get to fly home and know that Hot Wheels and Paxton are fucking gone.
