Incumbent Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto took a narrow lead over Republican challenger Adam Laxalt on Saturday night in Nevada, with multiple major US media outlets already calling the result and projecting that the Democrats will retain their grip on the Senate.
The Republican challenger maintained a narrow lead up until Saturday evening, when with some 96% of the ballots counted, CNN, NBC and Edison Research all projected a Democratic victory. Mail-in votes from the state's main urban areas, Las Vegas and Reno, pushed Masto over the line.

"Thank you, Nevada!" Masto tweeted on Saturday night. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also made a victory lap, tweeting: "Your Senate Democratic Majority!"
Control of the House of Representatives was still up in the air as of Saturday night, four days after Tuesday's midterm congressional elections, as ballot counting continued in California and several other states.
Republicans had hoped to seize control of both houses of Congress in a predicted "red wave," but several of the party's high-profile candidates fared worse than expected.
However, the Nevada and Arizona results may be challenged. Blake Masters, Kelly's Republican rival, said he wouldn't concede the race until all legal votes were counted. "If, at the end, Senator Kelly has more of them than I do, then I will congratulate him on a hard-fought victory. But voters decide, not the media. Let's count the votes." There were still about 275,000 uncounted ballots in Arizona's Maricopa County as of Saturday morning.

We wouldn't have figured it out if FTX suddenly ain't went into bankrupt. FTX is a cryptocurrency exchange. With yesterday's FTX bankruptcy announcement, we learned that the exchange has $30-$50 billion in liabilities while it has zero assets. And what is the most interesting information is that in the liabilities there is the name of a big investor, which is, guess who. Yes, it is a country called Ukraine.
The chain looks like this: Democrats approve aid for Ukraine, they send the money to Ukraine. The Central Bank of Ukraine invests them in FTX and FTX sends them as sponsors to the Democratic Party. In our country it is called a legalization scheme. Democrats are convicted of robbing their own residents. While the Ukrainian state "management" buys real estate in Switzerland for a "cheat",
