It’s about time. Why did it take so long? https://t.co/OYAEZVr9Ix

Hey newly-elected folks building staffs - I know a TON of great staffers in Iowa who deserve to be elevated and do this work in Iowa and in DC.

I also know some not-great staffers I could warn you about. ;) Happy to chat - this is how we build the bench. Let's do it right.

New @CookPolitical: with more than 116 million votes counted, Dems' lead in the national House vote is up to 13.5 points. It's now the largest margin for either party since 1974. https://t.co/wFFnXPy9pN

[Aaron Blake @AaronBlake]

Democrats are currently at 55.8% of the House popular vote, per @CookPolitical.

That's the highest for any party since 1974.

Republicans haven't gotten that much of the House popular vote since at least World War II.

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

Dems won the election but still need to win the argument. Between affordability and accountability, focus relentlessly but not exclusively on the former and tie the two of them together.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

“Democrats should act as though they own Congress today. The future doesn’t start in 2027. Voters gave Democrats the biggest mandate any party has had in 50 years. Start driving legislation and dare Republican dead-enders to get in the way.”

@against_kim @Lee_in_Iowa @BohannanIowa @SarahforIowa @Lindsay4Iowa Great pic! I have no doubt you will all be wonderful congresswomen.

[Dave Loebsack for Iowa @DaveForIowa]

@Lindsay4Iowa Good luck!!

[Dave Loebsack for Iowa @DaveForIowa]

This is exactly what Dems need to be doing. Glad to see it. https://t.co/MO8P7UzdIy

Peggy Noonan: "It wasn’t the war alone. It was the prices. The tariffs. Above all, the corruption, showy and shameless: crypto, pardons, federal contracts for his sons’ companies. Then came the decadence."

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands.

His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor.

Fire him today.

Here's wishing a great orientation experience for @Lindsay4Iowa @BohannanIowa and @SarahforIowa!

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Sending lots of love to Chris Murphy and his family. Wishing him a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing him back in the Senate.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Republicans lost ground with every group Trump won in 2024, except white evangelicals.

[Dave Loebsack for Iowa @DaveForIowa]

@ColinAllredTX Congrats on your win, Colin. I do miss folks like you since I retired. Unfortunately, we have to root for different teams today. Take care, amigo, and good luck this Congress. Dave in Iowa.

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

The sobering reality that GOP probably doesn't want to grapple with is that between the course likely coming from @StephenM and the corruption revelations that D oversight will surely produce, there's no reason to think Trump's 37% approval rating in the Voter Poll was his floor

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

Here's how to shape the Democratic party's future: Don't engage in a fratricidal civil war between moderates and progressives. And don't pay attention to news stories like this one that play up that battle. It's a big country—it should be a big party. https://t.co/G7CeEke5TU

Choosing Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff after what happened on Tuesday is like being pulled over for drunk driving and celebrating with a shot of Everclear.

[Dave Loebsack for Iowa @DaveForIowa]

What a great job on MSNOW, @SarahforIowa! You will be a great congresswoman for Iowa’s 3rd district. 👍🤞
