This has been the most rewarding, exhilarating, and exhausting 19 months of my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. None of this is possible without all of you — the people. The people who knocked doors, canvassed, made phone calls, sent texts, volunteered, donated, shared a social media post, spread the word, and voted. This is OUR seat. I’m going to make you proud.
Thank you, Michigan!

Congratulations to every US candidate who defeated AIPAC’s attempts to bankroll politicians complicit in Israel’s genocide and apartheid in Palestine.
A historic victory for @AbdulElSayed, elected as America’s first Muslim senator. He defeated more than $70 million in Israel lobby spending against him.
From Palestine to migrant justice, from resisting authoritarianism to challenging the politics of hate, our struggles are connected. The fight for justice knows no borders on either side of the Atlantic.

"they tried to call you hateful if you believe Palestinian kids should get to grow up in the land of their forefathers without being murdered by our tax dollars.. we want our taxes spent here, for our schools & healthcare here. We dont want our $ sent to do apartheid or genocide"
When people power overcomes oligarch billions. This is real humanity and what we as the global majority do best 💙
ABDUL EL-SAYED WINS
Our movements just defeated hundreds of millions of dollars, MAGA, and pro-genocide groups. We showed that organizing, people power, and solidarity can make history. Abdul El-Sayed will be the next U.S. Senator for Michigan!
@AbdulElSayed has remained clear throughout this race: the U.S. must stop funding and arming Israeli genocide and apartheid. And he will go to D.C. to govern on a mandate of fighting for working families and to keep money in our communities - not fund genocide and war abroad.
The tides are shifting. Stop Arming Israel. Free Palestine.

Tonight, Michiganders chose a tough, principled leader who will stay laser-focused on making life easier and getting stuff done. I’m thrilled that Governor-elect Benson will lead our state.
Tonight, we also made history. For the first time in more than 60 years, Michigan elected back-to-back Democrats to the governor’s office. That means we can continue making historic progress for our families, our kids, and the state we’re lucky to call home.
Congratulations to Governor-elect Jocelyn Benson. I look forward to seeing all the good work you will do.

Such good news 🎉
I am thrilled to congratulate Governor-elect @JocelynBenson. I know she will continue our progress, and she’ll never stop fighting for Michigan.
From the tears of Trump getting elected two years ago, to the elation of seeing the Democrats wipe the floor across the board in the mid-terms.
This is democracy in action.
This is hope for all of our futures. 💙

"Their fights are my fight.. we dont do this work for ourselves, we do this work for each other.. to defend us all from corporate oligarchs who bought & sold our govt to rig the system against us"

🚨 AMERICA HAS REJECTED TRUMP
Donald Trump told voters to treat him as though he were on the ballot.
They did.
🔵 Democrats have seized the Senate, flipping seats in Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, North Carolina and Ohio and are closing in on the House.
🤩 Texas even elected a Democratic governor.
This was a rebellion against Trump’s tariffs, corruption, Iran war and the soaring fuel, food and living costs his policies helped create.
🔴 Trumpism is not irresistible. Authoritarian power can be confronted and defeated through the ballot box.
🇬🇧 Britain should learn the lesson immediately.
🛑 Stop grovelling to a collapsing strongman. Stop tying our security, technology and economy to Trump’s America.
Our democratic future lies with Europe.
