Does the @amprog board and donors approve of your unending need to be proven right, often in the most obnoxious, pedantic and self-serving ways? Your fights with parts of the Dem base actually hurts all our efforts and can hardly be good for the organization you lead. Would love to just see people rowing together, not constantly trying to be proven somehow right, @neeratanden. Try “we not me”.
Replying to @ryangrim
Glad to be wrong about Valadeo but I was right about Dunlap - progressives pushed him over Baldacci and Dunlap tanked in a blue tsunami teapawt.org/neeratanden/status/206…

I’m very excited to have a Democratic majority in the next Congress. Serving on the Appropriations committee will be especially important as we can stop Trump from many of his worst actions by denying funding of those programs. I should chair a subcommittee that will have important jurisdiction over the White House budget and more, so my 14 years have brought me to a position I can impact things for the positive in a bigger way than ever. Thank you to everyone who helped get me to this point. I truly appreciate it!

They are very few politicians in Washington DC that are quite as ignorant and curmudgeony as @RonJohnsonWI is, ranting like a man upset Wisconsin walked on his lawn. (warning, your IQ will go down at least 10 points by watching the video.) Sharia law? C’mon. National debt problem? 1/3 of the debt from our nations 250 year history came under Donald Trump and Ron Johnson. I predict RoJo doesn’t run for reelection in two years as his brand of politics just got thrown out. Wisconsin, you really delivered last night. We need you to deliver again in 2028.
the cope is incredible on Benny Johnson's show today

I just want to thank the people of South Central and Southwestern Wisconsin for supporting my reelection to Congress. I truly appreciate the support and will do my best to represent your values in Washington and try to explain Washington when I’m back home. There’s much work to do, and I am looking forward to it. I appreciate your trust.

Money can’t buy you love. $5000 check bribes by Trump - FLOPPED Elon Musk money - FAILED Big Billionaire funding of elections - LOST Now let’s make sure big money never fails us again by Ending Citizen’s United, stopping corporate PAC money influence & banning Congressional insider trading.

Did you notice that the more money that Elon Musk put in the bigger the win for Dems?

Congratulations to @DavidCCrowley, @SarahforWI, @JoshKaulWI, @VoteJoCasta, and @yeeforwi as well as @SenHesselbein and @RepGreta for the huge Democratic trifecta win last night. It will be great to unf**k some of the things that the gerrymandered Republican legislature did years ago. Working together, they can do an awful lot!

Huge congratulations to @MBermanWI and @RebeccaforWI for picking up two seats in Congress from Wisconsin! Each ran strong grassroots campaigns that gave voters a clear alternative to the Trump agenda. Looking forward to having a 4–4 delegation from Wisconsin that’s as purple as the state. Time to fight for working people.

Yesterday I spent the day in Kenosha and Racine for @MBermanWI. Everyone in southeastern Wisconsin should get out and vote today to stop Trump‘s agenda and end corruption in Congress and DC. Vote BLUE. Vote for Mitchell Berman for Congress.

Just voted! Please get out and vote today. And don’t forget to vote NO on the three referendums as well! It’s in our hands to stop the high cost of living, the war, end corruption, and restore respect to offices in Wisconsin and in DC.

Remember to VOTE today! And remember a vote for DEMOCRATS is a vote to end the war, stop high prices, get healthcare back, end corruption and make Donald Trump a lame duck. Polls are open til 8 pm in Wisconsin.

Honored to get out the vote with Secretary Pete Buttigieg today! We launched canvasses in Racine, Kenosha, and Greendale, and hit some doors ourselves. Make sure everyone you know has a plan to vote. Thank you for coming to Southeastern Wisconsin, Secretary!

After 2024 I decided I would not donate to federal Democrats until a certain incompetent NY Senate fossil is no longer our party’s leader. But after seeing what @MBermanWI in his fight against corrupt inside trader @BryanSteil, I donated to Mitchell this weekend. Go. Fight. Win.
If you needed any other reason to vote on Tuesday, Kenosha’s very own @MarkRuffalo, a.k.a The Incredible Hulk, has a message for you. Chip in today to help us close out strong, flip Wisconsin's First District from red to blue, and get the BS out of Washington! >> secure.actblue.com/donate/be…

Hey Michigan, @HaleyforMI is clearly disturbed. To endorse the Republican in a high profile US Senate race means she has thrown her constituents under the bus when it comes to gas and grocery prices, losing healthcare and supporting Trump’s corruption. She also threw women who deserve a right to choose, the LGBTQ+ community, people of color and so many others under the bus for her vanity as well. Too many people live off their 15 minutes of fame. In this case, she threw away an entire career because she couldn’t get over a loss and needed attention. Pathetic. Sad. Clearly she has some serious issues. But no one will take her seriously ever again. Support @AbdulElSayed as the best choice to fix what Donald Trump, Mike Rogers and now, Haley Stevens had done to our country.
