A former logger steps into a tough void left by a huge controversy. Has no polish but speaks plainly about the right things. Then unseats a powerful incumbent Senator. He has street smarts. He is a brave fighter for common people. Maine voters were wise. It’s very touching to see

🔥 @troyjackson207 hell yeah There’s always money for bombs and tax cuts for the rich, never for regular folks They block government-sponsored health insurance while they all have it THIS👇🏽 IS NOT RADICAL. Opposing it is. #MedicareForAllNOW

The moment the voters did all the work and won big they stepped out in front to talk. My question is…where were they when we were struggling and needed help? Were they out front and fighting then? I did not see them …except maybe advocating for Israel’s nightmare government. No confidence in ‘em

Victoria Broderick just won in TN-4 without @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ever knowing her name. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social won in Michigan and @schumer.senate.gov did the opposite of help him. The idea that those 2 take credit for this wave defies logic. They are not the "leaders" 🇺🇸 just voted for.

🔥 @NYCMayr Zohran Mamdani: “It’s not enough for us as Democrats to win power. We have to use that power to deliver change Americans can feel in their wallets... the work is only just starting and this has to be delivered for working people across the country.”

Schumer: "There was such rampant corruption there has to be some investigations. But we're not going to take our eye off the ball. Number one -- reducing costs, ending corruption."

Scott Colom says he’s confident “we’re going to win” in Mississippi and that they “will protect the process of this election” He’s currently up 43 votes in his race for U.S. Senate

Was it the war? Sure. It was also the blatant corruption, the inflation, the ICE overreach, the weird comments about random dude’s asses, the national guard fiascos, the self-dealing, the failed redistricting scam, and the fact that Trump is the worst fucking POTUS in history.

Folks: Peggy Flanagan did NOT win Klobuchar's seat. She won Tina Smith's seat. So Klobuchar's will become vacant and she gets to name a replacement, as will Marsha Blackburn.
