Republicans win: we have to go interview the righties to see how they think Democrats win: we have to go interview the righties to see how they think

‼️ We just flipped a California district that Republicans had held since 2003! Congratulations to Randy Villegas on this massive win in CA-22! This Central Valley district will finally have a representative who fights for working families and isn’t owned by the wealthy donors that got Trump elected.

Here's a photo of Blanche Bruce, the last Black person to represent Mississippi in the U.S. Senate. He was born into slavery in 1841. Scott Colom is currently up 43 votes over incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith.

I went to a friend's house 5hrs ago with a lovely bottle of wine, my 2nd (fucking amazing) focaccia from 3 Doughs, 60 Recipes, and a tightly restrained sense of hope. Killed the bread and the wine and let the hope of the leash. What a night. 😭🎉

also not to be that person but (I will be that person) if your newly elected Dems aren’t on the record in favor of ICE abolition call them tomorrow and every day after or we’re gonna be here again in 2 years
