Yesterday, voters made it very clear that they want a new generation of Democratic fighters. We need a leader in the Senate who is capable of leading that fight. It’s time for Senate Democrats to choose new leadership.

Hearing “Yes We Can” when Governor Elect Lance-Bottoms won last night Healed something in me

El-Sayed: "Mike, enjoy your retirement ... you chose hate, and Michigan chose hope ... JD, habibi -- there is this delicious irony in the fact that you are constitutionally obligated to swear me in in January. Wolverines 1, Buckeyes 0."

I’m a hoot and a half on the other app btw

When I was working in my home state to flip it blue in 2018, Katie was my state Senator. I knocked doors with her twin sister. They are genuinely so kind, and giving. I am so proud to see Governor Hobbs reelected tn.

'In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville. His value was placed at $1,400. More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter, Keisha Lance Bottoms, was elected governor of Georgia.'

Keisha Lance Bottoms and the long road from Crawfordville to Governor’s Mansion

More than 160 years after her ancestors were enslaved in Georgia, the former Atlanta mayor has made history as the first Black woman elected governor.

John Ossoff is a superstar but let’s be clear that he’s picked up (and sprinted like a heartthrob QB ) the political opportunity that Stacey Abrams, LaTosha Brown and other organizers made for them with over a decade of work. Don’t forget that electoral tsunamis aren’t made from mobilization alone.

this is a man that shot to national fame for being nice to mamdani and then putting his body on the line against ice. that's our political moment

Thank you, NY-10 voters! It’s a profound honor to represent you in the U.S. Congress. Whether you voted for me or not, I’ll work hard to serve you, your families, and your neighbors every single day.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

The Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party has removed her as a member. Now - Jeffries needs to do grow a spine and remove her from committee assignments and expel her from the caucus. We cannot permit this be tolerated.

Expel her from the god damned party. We have to excise this cancer from our party. This cancer of primary losers who throw a must win state and their stated ideals down the drain because someone was mean to them. Politics isn’t a no contact sport. She lost. The base isn’t with her in Israel.

Happy Anniversary to me: My present from my beautiful incredible partner is a Rubik’s Cube in six different shades of my favorite color. The woman knows me. 🥰🫠 (Yes it’s awful to solve, it’s wonderfully infuriating)

Do not vote for Josh Turek, Marcy Kaptur, Kathy Castor, or Henry Cuellar.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

As a preorder holder of the Duo I’m a lil nervous but having held the thing- I’m more concerned about them ceasing deliveries rather than if I’m gonna cancel mine (I’m not canceling, I want this damn phone so badly)

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Are transgender sports bans really about protecting women? | Dr Helen Webberley

The data says no. Those most hostile to women are most in favour of banning trans athletes.

@wweek.com should be embarrassed I’m a 31 year old woman who’s called Portland home for nearly 5 years. I’m a local small business owner. I’m the only trans district leader of either major party in the entire state. We need more elected leaders who live like the voters.

The Willamette Week Endorsement Interview was not done in good faith and was by far the worst of the 3 major newspaper endorsement interviews. Here’s my reflections on the process:
