if you’re going to go fascist when the fascists take control, at least have the decency to go down with the ship. this is just embarrassing

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The Democratic Party needs a new and bold direction. I will not support Chuck Schumer’s reelection as Democratic leader.

[Jen Rice @jen_rice_]

Many people will start cleaning up John Cornyn's reputation now but not everyone's going to forget this stuff

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Democrats not showing up for the Hegseth impeachment vote is a giant warning sign. Forget Republicans - did Democrats and their leaders watch the election results last week?

[Martha Pskowski @psskow]

Democrats up and down the ticket in TX spoke out against border wall construction. Now that they've won, what levers do they have to stop the wall? I looked into where the fight is headed at the Texas Legislature and U.S. Congress. (1)

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

You wonder why @RobSandIA won in a landslide? Because his opps are lunatic posting about a staffers wedding photos from 4 years ago when Iowans have real problems they are worried about. Good luck fellas maybe a few more Rob is Gay posts will do the trick.

A huge congratulations to M. John Harrison. Here is our chat from last year. https://t.co/pMQNTW9BFJ

Texas Governor-Elect @GinaHinojosaTX weighs in on SCOTUS decision allowing border wall construction to restart in Big Bend.

Some of the same people trying to claim progressive policies were a win for moderates will also tell you John Cornyn was a moderate. Maybe none of these words have meaning!!!

[Ravi Mangla @ravi_mangla]

I don't know how "voters want to beat their kids" was the takeaway from the election

[Forrest Wilder @Forrest4Trees]

What a laughable, lazy take. Whether good policy or not, a state income tax is a complete non-starter. You would have to change the state constitution, which requires a two-thirds vote in each chamber of the Lege and voter approval. Ain’t gonna happen.

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

With Democrats sweeping Texas, the GOP-led war on cities nears its end.

Democrats are less likely to pick on cities the way Republican lawmakers have, observers said. But a fight over housing affordability will test that. https://t.co/zcH0DNVvzN

It’s really underdiscussed how much of American conservatism is based on the premise that only conservatives are allowed to wield power and that the will of the voters is something to be worked around if not outright ignored

[Joshua Fechter @JoshuaFechter]

Looks like we have a high-speed rail bill from @BucyForTexas https://t.co/daxscRgeTc

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

@HawleyMO a whole hour?

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

One thing I’ll say is: maybe a hypothetical white Christian Democrat could have won Michigan by 10 points instead of 7-8 but this long overdue repudiation of Islamophobia would not be happening and many of us will happily accept that trade in a winner take all election.

[Sam Karas @sammiecarrots]

@Forrest4Trees Never forget when he (a person who comes out to Marfa at least once a year) wouldn’t give @sashavono a comment on the Big Bend wall — which is maybe the most unifying and least controversial “activist”cause in Texas politics apart from those targeting Flock/data centers

Hoping the new administration will be able to combat the University of Austining of the University of Texas 🥊
