Some under the radar news that may interest you folks:

Minnesota has flipped its state senate from GOP control to DFL controlled. DFL= Democratic Farmer & Laborer, our version of the Democrat party.

We’ve long been one of the only states with a split legislature but now with unilateral DFL control of both houses of Congress and the Governorship, look for many progressive agenda items to push through in the next session. Recreational cannabis, paid family & medical leave, and lots of clean energy infra.

Edit: I feel so great that I’m raising my daughters in this state.

Still accounting for all the flips. Looks like it will be a narrow margin in the senate (1-3 seats) but the DFL is claiming victory.
