I've never voted Republican. LGBTQ rights are human rights. Abortion is healthcare.

The deliberate sabotage of global climate negotiations by the US government, its promotion of fossil fuels and repeated attacks on alternatives is possibly the most perverse and self-destructive pattern of behaviour in human history. This is what happens when billionaires capture our governments.

There were nearly seven hundred lynchings in Mississippi between 1877 and 1950, and nearly two dozen white supremacist murders of civil rights activists in the state in the two decades that followed. The road to this moment is drenched with the blood of the righteous.

After Georgia Dems flipped the House and Governor’s mansion, Senate Dems held a press conference on Wednesday and were asked: “how are Democrats planning to work with Republicans?” I responded, you’re asking the wrong question. The question now is: how are Republicans planning to work with us?

My #1 criteria for Senate Majority Leader is someone who will keep Senate Dems from confirming any SCOTUS justices who happen to die during this term. And I mean it. If five of them die in 2027, oh well, next president gets eight picks in 2029.

Corruption was one of the top issue for voters on Tuesday & we heard them First up for us & our partners: asking Virginia to examine whether border czar Tom Homan reported the $50,000 in cash he allegedly took from undercover FBI agents Stay tuned. We’re just getting started👇 -TN

one reason to be somewhat optimistic about the senate is that we just elected a bunch of brand new folks who a) don’t have a long institutional attachment to the filibuster by dint of being in the senate for years b) probably don’t want to spend the next six years doing nothing because of it

this exurban white supremacist pappy won the election. we asked him how he feels. this urban 28 year old woman for abortion rights and medicare for all won the election. we asked her exurban white supremacist pappy how he feels

BREAKING: Felon 47 orders DOJ to launch criminal probes into Democrats who investigate him and his Administration for corruption when they take over Congress in January… The. Tantrum. Tirade. Has. Begun. 😎🇺🇸✨

it's worth noting that Democrats won literally every district on the southern border lol immigration continues to only be a problem for people who don't actually live near many immigrants

This data from the Exit Polls is pretty interesting. The #1 issue for those who voted for Democrats was "state of democracy" not the economy. It's why Dems must be both warriors for working people and proud patriots defending democracy and freedom, here and everywhere.

Marc Lamont Hill said something recently that bears repeating: The clear mandate for Democrats means that people want change. What it doesn't mean is that we leave Dem leadership on autopilot and hope for the best. We must hold them accountable because bigger stages can change people.

THIS JUST IN: Democrats have FLIPPED the Texas State Board of Education! This is a monumental win for Texas students, families, and the entire education community in our great state. Congratulations to our incredible candidates!

If you were thinking: what could Trump do to push his approval rating down even further and open up the possibility of a 1964/1980/2008 style victory for Dems in 2028? The answer is: put Stephen Miller in charge of everything. And guess what?

Taking Amtrak down to DC for new member orientation! Excited to meet the 100+ new members of the 120th Congress. Let me know who you think I should make sure to meet and get to work with.
