The @NYSenDems appear poised to win at least 46 seats tonight, with five seats likely flipped in Suffolk County, Nassau County, NYC and the Hudson Valley. Two GOP #nysenate seats in the Capital Region are too close to call.

The House Republican leadership, which has said publicly that they are going to win, expand their majority, polls are wrong, etc., sounds very different tonight. They are now beginning to confront the reality that they are getting drubbed everywhere.

CASTOR is up 6% with more than 95% of the vote in. This is a seat Republicans redrew in redistricting. It was designed for a Republican to win. JARED MOSKOWITZ, another seat drawn for Republicans, is up 8% with 82% in.
KATHY CASTOR, the Tampa-area Dem that the GOP targeted in redistricting, is up 13 points with 73% of the vote in.

Very early, but I'm starting to think we won't all be getting $5000 checks.

A bit of news to share. I must make official that, after 54 years at the @MiamiHerald, I am among the 30 employees laid off in the latest cost-slash by McClatchy. I’ll speak of this for the first time Monday at 7 a.m. on @TheGregCoteShow podcast & our YouTube channel.

Ed Oliver kept the June 28 death of his 2-year-old son so private that not all of his teammates even knew about it until last night.
Josh Allen’s opening statement about Ed Oliver to group of Bills reporters in Cleveland: First off, I want to say thank you to the ones that knew about it and allowed him to have his moment and his time. It’s very sad in how it came out. It makes me very sad and angry ... 1/

#Bills head coach Joe Brady was asked about Ed Oliver’s tragic loss. Buffalo’s head coach was emotional in his response and spoke about the importance of being there for Oliver. #BillsMafia

Bills score points on their first two drives with the starting offense. Nice job by Keon Coleman breaking off his route and getting open for the first touchdown at Highmark Stadium. I’ve seen enough. Get the starting offense out.

Couple of points to make: 1) This is a perfect example of how to play the eyes and hands of a receiver when you are NOT in phase /in control of the route. Do not listen to people who say “you have to turn your head and find the ball as the defender” in this situation. They are wrong and don’t know what they are talking about. 2) Kaleb Elarms-Orr is a stud. Going to be a great pro.
#Bills James Cook ran a 4.42 40 at 190 LBS and is no doubt one of the most explosive guys in the NFL. Elarms-Orr ran a 4.47 at 234 LBS, stays stride for stride with him and rips hands late in this rep. HELL of a rep! 📈📈📈 @BuffTrenchTalk #BillsMafia

Now, I didn't sit in every odd seat. Spent most of my time on the concourses and on the field. So I didn't hear many complaints until yesterday and today. But I was impressed with what I saw from the new Highmark Stadium. My video report from Saturday:
