🚨NEW: Democrat Dave Min, who was the victim of racial slurs and attacks during his campaign, has won a battleground congressional seat in California!
RETWEET to congratulate Congressman-elect Minn on his victory!
In January, for the first time in American history, two Black women will serve in the United States Senate at the same time. These two women double the number of elected Black women in history and are numbers 4 and 5 to ever serve.
They are indeed our ancestors wildest dreams. And perhaps just a century ago, months after women got the rights to vote, and a generation or two from Slavery, too few would have imagined this moment.
I celebrate these two extraordinary public servants: Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland.
Their election also means that there will be a record number (5) of Black Senators serving in the Senate at the same time.
They will also be joining the most racially diverse Senate in history.
When I was first sworn in 11 years ago, the Senate was the least diverse place I had ever worked by any metric – age, gender, background, and race. I am proud to continue to see this broader shift to a body that more closely reflects the America it serves.
This is Commissioner Lina Kahn, the Chair of the Federal Trade Commission who is staunchly opposed by Elon Musk. President Biden can reappoint her prior to leaving office in January and protect the Dem majority on the FTC.
RETWEET if you think @POTUS should reappoint Lina Kahn!
Biden: This is the last time I will stand here at Arlington as commander in chief. It's been the greatest honor of my life, to lead you, to serve you, to care for you, to defend you, just as you defended us generation after generation after generation.
To this incredible team, who gave their time away from family and friends to help me campaign for Kamala and Tim—I can’t say thank you enough. I’ll always have your back.
Kerry Kennedy on her brother, RFK Jr:
"I am disgusted by my brother’s obscene embrace of Donald Trump. And I completely disavow and dissociate myself from Robert Kennedy Jr. and his flagrant efforts to desecrate my father's memory." @Acyn (August)
BREAKING - VICTORY in CA-27 House seat north of LA
MAGA Congressman Mike Garcia CONCEDES, losing to Democratic challenger George Whitesides, former chief of staff of NASA and CEO of Virgin Galactic
Remember, EVERY seat counts - keeping GOP majority as tiny as possible
So, as a https://t.co/BrpDavbPXN veteran I find it incredibly disrespectful for Republicans to wish us a “happy Veterans Day” while consistently voting AGAINST providing us benefits — that we earned by serving our nation.
🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge John DeGravelles has blocked a Louisiana law that mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools.
RETWEET to thank Judge DeGravelles for standing up for the separation of church and state!
BREAKING: Democrat Mark Takano wins reelection to U.S. House in California's 39th Congressional District. #APRaceCall at 9:08 p.m. EST. https://t.co/FjgpZFcJ4E
Good news!
The AP has called the race for Oregon District 6 in the U.S. House.
Democrat Andrea Salinas has held onto her seat for reelection against Republican Mike Erickson.
As an immigrant, Elon Musk can't run for president himself, so he spent $130M+ of his own money to buy the presidency for Trump.
Trump will be the one sworn in, but pay attention to who's really pulling the strings.
White MAGA boomer: “In my day people weren’t so easily offended.”
Me: “In your day white people would lose their shit if a Black person used the same water fountain as them.”

Today and everyday, we are forever grateful to all of the men and women who served our nation and fought to protect our freedoms.
To all my brothers and sisters who served, wishing you a Happy Veterans Day.
Don't use the price of eggs & gas to mask why you really voted for a convicted felon:
• Your fear of migrants
• Your misogyny
• Your belief that a woman should not be POTUS
• Your racism
• Your lack of common sense
• All of the above
We're the only nation in the world built on the idea that we are all created equal.
We haven’t always lived up to it. But we’ve never walked away from it.
And today, as we honor those who've given everything to our nation, we must say clearly:
We never will.
