I hear AOC held on and is taking names. Some word Pelosi won't hold on. Anyone else get the arse? (Aussie slang for getting fired)

The squad expanded by adding 2 more Representatives (Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush). So it's AOC + 5 now, instead of AOC + 3. It's actually not good news for the Democrats - they will lose the moderates (and control of the house) soon if this pattern follows.

The Republicans flipped at least 8 seats and can flip even more as of now:

Called: CA-48, MN-7, NM-2, FL-26, FL-27, OK-5, IA-1, SC-1

Tossup: CA-21, CA-25, CA-39, IA-2, NY-3, NY-11, NY-22, UT-4.

The Republicans also won/held NJ-2 and MI-3 despite special circumstances (D->R and R->L->R flip).
incumbent retiring), but the Republican opponent has not conceded.

If the Republicans flip 10 seats or more, then Nancy Pelosi loses her support (with 10 Democrats and all Republicans voting Nay) to stay as the Speaker. It's likely that she will have even more Democrats voting Nay due to her impeachment shenanigans hurting the Democrats.

See this Guardian article for the seat flips and accurate vote real time counts.
