A lot of people spent a lot of energy dumping on DNC Chair @kenmartin73 because he wasn’t banking money.

Contrary to popular belief, he raised a ton of money. The difference is he spent it. On state parties. On organizing. On infrastructure.

It worked. Thank you, Ken.

I want Medicare for All and prescription drug reform. I want to fix Social Security and raise the minimum wage. Voters gave us a mandate for real reform. I’m willing to work with any Republican willing to help us do that.

Let’s get to work.

Remember what it took to reach this point. Scott Colom is reminding the nation of Medgar Evers, & so many more who marched, sacrificed, & died to lay the groundwork for what we're just achieving now. The first black Senator in Mississippi since Reconstruction. ✊️✊🏾🫱🏼‍🫲🏿⚖️

[Scott Colom @scott_colom]

Medgar Evers was killed in his driveway because he refused to accept a Mississippi where some were denied the right to vote.

He stood with thousands who marched, organized and sacrificed so future generations could have a voice. We owe it to them not to take that right for granted. On Tuesday, honor their legacy. Vote.

[Scott Colom @scott_colom]

Y’all got that? Colom (kuh-LOAM).

EDITORIAL: The difference between Rockefeller and any number of others who have come from elsewhere and pursued political ambitions in West Virginia was evident in the type of representation Rockefeller delivered.

West Virginia had Democratic supermajorities in its legislature as recently as 2008. The state underwent a massive shift in very little time, meaning it can happen again.

WV has lost one of its greatest public servants.

.@JamesTalarico: We didn’t win by alienating our neighbors, or by shaming our neighbors, or by ridiculing our neighbors. We embodied a new kind of politics. A politics rooted in a deep love — for our state, for our country, and for all of our neighbors.

My faith teaches me that love is the strongest force in the universe.

Love is not passive. Love is not neutral. Love is not weak. Love requires that we stand between the bullies and the bullied. Love requires that we look evil in the eye and not blink.

Love can heal what’s broken in America.

[Ken Martin @kenmartin73]

Let this sink in.

What an incredible victory.

A new day begins for our country with a Democratic Senate majority.

Told you to watch the union vote tonight. NBC exits show union households +21 for Ds nationwide (likely higher in battlegrounds where our voter contact was most intensive) compared to +10 for all voters. Union vote is a historic 15% share of overall electorate. Huge

[Sam Brown Petsonk @Sam4WV]

T for Texas! @TeamTalaricoHQ

DEM FLIP: Democrat James Talarico has defeated Republican Ken Paxton in Texas’ race for U.S. Senate.

With his victory, Senator-elect Talarico has become the first Democrat to win a U.S. Senate seat in Texas in nearly 40 years.

Congratulations!
