Democracy serves those who serve it. The greatest, most complicated and important process humans have devised requires active participation, constant oversight, and continuous improvement. We own the specs. We are the control plan. #4LIGHTS
New in PN: The only thing Democrats have to fear is fear itself "Even though affordability was in fact the top issue, if the message Ds take from the most sweeping victory in half a century is as limited as 'voters want life to be more affordable,' they will be missing the most important lesson."
The only thing Democrats have to fear is fear itself
They were confident this year, for a change. That’s how they have to approach everything.

PEOPLE THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN, DON'T WANT JEFFRIES OR SCHUMER. WHY, YOU MAY ASK?! BECAUSE, THEY DID NOTHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE WINS…👇 ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! ENJOY. 😎🇺🇸✨
There are a LOT of MAGA defeats I’m enjoying but seeing Susan Collins’ lying, corrupt a$$ be defeated, FINALLY, is somewhere near the top. www.alternet.org/susan-collin...

Elsewhere, David Ellison spent like $50 billion of his dad's money to turn WB-Paramount into the world's biggest lean-R media conglomerate and now the whole country lurched D *and* his dad's money is all tied up in AI companies and data centers that are under threat from angry voters and Dem AGs.
I have this on repeat 🔁 "WE WILL RIP ICE APART" Peggy Flanagan
For starters, bring back IRS Direct File. Musk bros killed it because it was successful.
Nome@nome.bsky.social · 14h ago- ReadyReturn for taxes The government, every year, sends you a postcard (or text or email, as you choose) which says "This is the amount we've calculated you owe / will be receiving. If you would like to dispute this, check this box and return it to us with your own tax filing." And that's it.
74% of Americans will have a Democratic Governor after last night. Incredible.
All this talk of "getting even" or payback or whatever. It's not "getting even". It's enforcing the law. Say that. Correct that. Don't fall into that trap. There's absolutely no reason to.
I am so fucking tired of "seeking justice" being framed as "getting even." Arresting and/or impeaching people who are legitimately guilty of actual crimes is not revenge. It is justice. Innocent people should be released from detention and guilty people should be in prison. Again, that is JUSTICE.
For the love of god @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social please stop using Trump's reasoning. Go after him.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 19h agoTrump: "I think it would destroy the Democrat Party if they did that -- impeachment for no reason. What, for having a successful country? Our country is more successful right now than at any time in history. Watch the beam go up."
Don’t allow Republicans and media to set the narrative with their framing and word choices. Push back every time. Congressional oversight and investigations are not about RETRIBUTION, they are about ACCOUNTABILITY. You were elected to hold them accountable, never forget it.

I definitely want @peggyflanagan.bsky.social to push for replacing Schumer snd Matt Little to support an alternative to Jeffries. No question, the time is now to move forward, fast. Frankly, IDGAF if some "moderates" are uncomfortable. Most have no idea the threats we still face for generations.
Kathryn VanArendonk@kvanaren.bsky.social · yesterdaycall your newly elected house members! call your newly elected senate members, and tell them you are so thrilled to be their constituents and they need to remove hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer from dem leadership
When you hear Jeffries say that accountability isn’t what the people want, remember that elon tried v hard to buy our government. elon wants to use a Texas state park as wasteland for his test launches, and he knew that Paxton would let him. This was a near-miss and accountability must happen.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.com · yesterdayI was frothing over Biden’s total failure to put a muzzle and a chain on Elon Musk in 2023: we must NOT miss this opportunity, and we need to make this crystal clear to all of our reps.
This is a generational shift--both of our sons feel it. Clarity of message and steadfastness of purpose. 24yr cited AES in Michigan, Talarico in Texas, and Ossoff in Georgia in particular as inspirational among his friends. He's also ready for Schumer and Jeffries to shut up.

Trump Presidency on Life Support after Blue Tsunami’s Reach Shocks GOP

It's already clear that the election results will do little to disabuse the Media of their breathless incredulity over obvious facts and clear conclusions.
let's also NOT forget about all the law firms that capitulated to TRUMP it's not just that they bet on TRUMP...they also were mocking democrats and i refuse to "move on" when bad actors behave this way #blues www.vanityfair.com/story/paul-w...

This is actually not even a little bit what we want. We want to divide the republicans from fucking power and get them the fuck away from the minorities and marginalized groups they have been massacring. We don’t want to work together with that shit. This is an anti-GOP mandate.
Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · yesterdayTonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.

I said this on @nativelandpod.bsky.social but I'll repeat it here: A dangerous narrative is going to be "the GOP gerrymandering didn't work." NO. It worked GREAT. We just OVERCAME it. But we'd have even MORE seats, and different candidates could have won those seats, without the gerryamndering.
Democrats *gain* full control of: —Minnesota —Pennsylvania —Wisconsin —likely Arizona —likely Michigan —prob Alaska (but early) (And came shockingly close in NC & GA.) (Maybe Nevada? We have nothing.) They break GOP trifectas in: —Georgia —Iowa —New Hampshire —Ohio —Texas
Brian Mcclung on @kare11.bsky.social blowing his own horn about an election 20 years ago is classic Brian Mcclung. You're pathetic, Brian!
It's uplifting to see the margin by which the duplicitous crone was defeated.

Hey, @nytimes.com , looks like it's time for you to get a clue and get over your MAGA crush. The People have spoken. Listen to US.
Congratulations @peggyflanagan.bsky.social @keithellison.bsky.social and @amyklobuchar.com. 10% qualifies as a mandate. Move fast, please. Do not hesitate to begin #CAPA. Sure, focus on FWA, too, so long as you Start with the FRAUD in the Whitehouse.
