To those involved in the neo-Nazi march in the Short North today, take your flags and the masks you hide behind and go home and never come back.
Your hate isn’t welcome in our city.
Tonight, Maryland chose a champion for safer communities! @AlsobrooksForMD, your dedication to your state and preventing gun violence will make you an outstanding voice in the Senate. #GunSafetyWins
Please let this be true today:
“There was always just enough virtue in this Republic to save it; sometimes none to spare, but still enough to meet the emergency.” —William Seward, Secretary of State during the civil war.
More cracks in the ceiling tonight. More HERstory being made. Kentucky has elected Pamela Goodwine to serve on the Supreme Court. She is the first Black woman to hold this office.
Let’s keep going.

Just in: 110-year old Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre voted today in Oklahoma. I’m told she voted for Vice President Harris.
We’re caffeinating and hydrating him.
We’re making sure he’s eating. @SteveKornacki, the national treasure, is rested and eager for his quadrennial Super Bowl. He also just reported the overwhelming majority of Georgia’s vote should be reportable shortly after polls close.
I believe that the vast majority of people in this country are good and generous and honest and fair – and whether they are Democrats or Republicans or independents, they want those values reflected in their politics. That’s what we’ll get with @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz – two leaders who will work every day to make your lives better.
