It just doesn't stop, does it? So much news. So much news:
When a gunman opened fire at a festival in Las Vegas last year, Telemachus Orfanos somehow made it through.
It was a brutal experience, his friends thought, never to be repeated.
They were wrong.
He was killed last night in Thousand Oaks. https://t.co/wuYEywMy59— Catherine Rampell (@crampell) November 9, 2018
You might be thinking: "Damn, this morning's mass shooting in the LA bar is pretty damn close to our last mass shooting, the one in the Pittsburgh synagogue."
In fact, there were 11 mass shootings (four or more victims) in between. https://t.co/ReEVjNq6EZ— Sam Stein (@samstein) November 8, 2018
These are the victims of the Thousand Oaks shooting. https://t.co/xiiaaxdzxW

Let's get back to the rest of the news. Josh Marshall points out the obvious:
Two days out makes it increasingly clear: Dems will win btw 35 and 40 House Seats. They flipped at least 7 governorships. They will likely win over 400 state legislative seats. IN, MO and ND were big losses. But this was a big wave election. There's no question.

UPDATE: The Florida Senate election margin has further narrowed--it is now a mere 15,068 votes or .18%. As the counties continue their work, I expect that margin will narrow further. And then the State will conduct an orderly recount. https://t.co/Yxuxw8wDlj
