Zohran Mamdani: “It’s not enough for us as Democrats to win power. We have to use that power to deliver change that Americans can feel in their wallets. When you look at these campaigns, if we want to speak about James Talarico, he campaigned on a vision for universal childcare. If you want to talk about Keisha Lance Bottoms, she campaigned on a vision of cutting red tape to build housing. If you want to talk about Jocelyn Benson, she campaigned on a moratorium for data centers. What I’m excited to see now is a recognition that the work is only just starting and this has to be delivered for working people across the country”

Wake me up when they tell me @laurenboebert has lost. Many monsters in this palatte cleanse that we will NOT miss in Congress. The vile cruel attitudes in committee. The attacks on diversity and inclusion, trans people and our immigrant communities! GTFO we moved on!

Posting a longer cut of Ron DeSantis dropping some truth bombs about the state of the Republican Party after last night's blue tsunami. Hard to argue with any of this to be honest.

Last night was the largest blue wave in a generation. Democrats have been projected as winner in 54 Senate seats, flipping seven states and with a lead in two others (Alaska and Mississippi). In the House, Democrats have been projected in 249 seats - a net gain of 38 so far.

They can’t steal ’28 now.
If the remaining results go as expected, Democrats will hold governorships in states totaling 392 electoral votes.

Democrats pulled off projected wins unthinkable for decades, in states like Texas, Kansas, Maine and South Carolina — but what will the party do next? @nancycordes and @edokeefe report on the size and scope of the Democrats’ victory.

El-Sayed: "Mike, enjoy your retirement ... you chose hate, and Michigan chose hope ... JD, habibi -- there is this delicious irony in the fact that you are constitutionally obligated to swear me in in January. Wolverines 1, Buckeyes 0."
