Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures just won a huge upset victory in Alabama's 2nd congressional district.
This was a district that the Alabama GOP specifically gerrymandered to oust Figures after the Supreme Court dismantled the Voting Rights Act.
But Black voters turned out in huge numbers to counteract that decision.

Can’t wait to show my republican colleagues the same courtesy they showed us during the 89th legislature.
Rules are rules and it’s no fun when the rabbit has the gun. #BecauseWeCan

Wisconsin gov-elect @DavidCCrowley (D): "I didn't run to be the first black governor; I didn't run to make history. If anything, I wanna make child poverty history, I wanna make income inequality history."

Cruz: "Texas is blue. That is a hard sentence to utter. But Texas, today at least, is blue. As we sit here today, I am the only statewide elected Rpeublican who remains in Texas. That’s not something I ever thought I would say."

Dean Senfronia Thompson is the right choice to lead the Texas House into this new chapter. She went from desegregating lunch counters to leading with courage for more than five decades.
I'm 100% behind Ms. T for Speaker.

I’m going after Pete Hegseth.
Not only is he incompetent and corrupt, he’s undermining our national security and the safety of our troops.

The first two bills I will be filing this session are both by members who have ascended to higher callings.
Jon Rosenthal’s bill banning the practice of child marriage in Texas and James Talarico’s bill that would grant pregnant women the right to a divorce - because right now they cannot legally get divorced while pregnant, even if they are the victim of domestic violence.
