5. early in the night, when 538 had our odds drop from 92%-ish to 66%-ish... that was terrifying

It was that moment in 2016, when Steve Kornacki said he didn't know where Hillary would get the votes she needed in Pennsylvania, all over again... that feeling of utter dread. Of having the world drop away from under our feet, knowing it was wrong and terrible but unprovable things were being done to us, all over again.

After we got the House, every individual loss was definitely put into perspective. It should have been a bigger night for us, but our country would have been OVER if we hadn't won the House. Irredeemably OVER.

Like you, I've never felt more grateful.
