@atrupar Soooo… you’re going to hold Democrats accountable for doing what the American people overwhelmingly want them to do, which is hold you dummies accountable.
Ok. Good luck with that. @JamesComer
@atrupar Emmer doesn’t seem to understand how this works. Last week Democrats flipped 44 seats in the House to regain control. With 16 races still not decided, there will be 254 Democrats in the House and 165 Republicans.
Emmer’s threats are laughable.
@atrupar “Come January 3, you’ll regret it” sounds less like a congressman accepting an election and more like a mob boss threatening people who crossed the family. He's a thug just like the felon in the White House.
@atrupar@BlueGeorgia His party just suffered the biggest political humiliation in modern history due to the same exact behavior he’s exhibiting right now 🤦♀️
As far as I can see, David Valadao's defeat is the worst for a general election incumbent against one major party opponent in 94 years, since the Great Depression.
In 1932, Peter Granata (R) lost to Leo Kocialkowski (D), 72-28.
Even in 2010, Joseph Cao (R) lost to Cedric Richmond (D), 65-34.
Valadao is at 31.9%.
@Ojeda4America Your father passed away as a fulfilled and happy man. You can tell your victory is the news he’s been waiting for. Condolences to you and your family. 🕊️
@Ojeda4America He looked so happy there. Nothing better than a dad proud of his son. You earned it, brother. Way to deliver for everyone, but especially your dad. He’s not gone, you carry him in your heart. And now we do, too.
For years, my dad battled Parkinson’s disease. On Election Night, I got to tell him, “Pop, we won.”
This morning, he passed away.
A part of me believes he held on just long enough to see his son make it to Congress.
He won’t be there when I’m sworn in. But I know he’ll be standing right beside me.
Rest easy, Daddy. I’ll take it from here. These next two years are for you ❤️
@Sassafrass_84@rlsbamasemperfi The cult is having trouble comprehending the fact that most Americans are sick of Trump, maga, and all the dysfunction that comes with it.
Ted Cruz:
Either Hegseth is going to step down, either he will resign voluntarily or Trump will fire him, or, if that does not happen, I think it is extremely likely, if not certain, that the House will impeach him because, on the face of it, the votes are there.
There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation:
- For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House.
- At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate.
- At least 14 Democratic women will serve as governors, a record high.
- A record of 2,600 Democratic women running for seats in state legislatures helped flip 12 majorities and break 11 supermajorities.
- Four states elected their first woman governor: Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee.
- @KeishaBottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as a governor.
- @DebHaalandNM will be the first Native American woman to serve as a governor.
- @GinaHinojosaTX will be the first Latina to serve as governor of Texas.
- @peggyflanagan will be the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate.
I am beyond excited to see these extraordinary people and public servants tackle accountability, affordability, and our other challenges to make life better for everyone in this country.
Congratulations to everyone who ran: win or lose, fighting for what's right is always worth it.
