Thank a Democrat (Knowledge is Powerful)

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jamie Raskin just went on live TV and made clear that it is REPUBLICANS who have turned the government into an apparatus of retribution. Every time Republicans scream about RETRIBUTION, it's an admission. Make sure every American sees this.

BREAKING: Leader @HakeemJeffries announces bold new Democratic agenda:

“We need to take substantial steps toward bringing about universal healthcare — so that every single American in this country can afford to go see a doctor when they need one.

We’ve got to get big money out of politics and end Citizens United.

We have to prohibit members of Congress from trading stock.

We plan to deliver meaningful, bold, transformational change for the American people.”

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

Their gerrymandered maps.

Their crooked lines.

It all came crashing down under the pressure of you turning out to make your voice heard.

[Roy Cooper @RoyCooperNC]

Last night, North Carolina made it clear what kind of future we want. Our state set the tone for the country and elected outstanding public servants from the mountains to the coast.

We flipped the North Carolina House, ending over a decade of one-party control. We’re sending strong leaders to the U.S. House, who will be my colleagues. And we re-elected Justice Earls to the Supreme Court and our slate of judges to the Court of Appeals, who will uphold our laws and protect North Carolinians.

Congratulations to everyone chosen by the people of North Carolina last night. Governing is hard work — time to get to it.

@Ojeda4America Congratulations!

[Native American Pride @native_am_pride]

All the aura to the winner of the New Mexico governorship with those outfits. Deb Haaland, the first Native American woman to govern a state in United States history.

[Rep. Bennie G. Thompson @BennieGThompson]

I am deeply grateful to the people of Mississippi's Second Congressional District for once again placing their faith and trust in me to represent them in Congress for an 18th term.

I do not take that responsibility lightly, and my commitment to standing up for your interests and ensuring that the voices of Mississippians are heard in Washington remains unchanged.

[Aaron D. Ford @AaronDFordNV]

Thank you, Nevada!

Yesterday, we made history. Nevadans of every background came together and said it loud and clear: We all deserve to afford our version of the American Dream. The power belongs to the people, and starting today, Nevada families come first.

To my wife and Nevada's next first lady, Berna; to our sons; to every volunteer who gave their time; and to the best campaign staff in the nation: thank you. You made this happen.

We are ONE Nevada family. The election is over, but the work starts now. Let's build the future we've fought for — together.

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

In a gerrymandered district, our campaign was within a single point of winning. Thank you to everyone who worked to make that a reality. I am immensely grateful.

I will continue to fight for the people of TN and together our movement is just getting started.

In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville.

More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter has been elected governor of Georgia.

History has been made. Stacey Plaskett has become the first Black woman elected Governor of a U.S. territory!

From beginning her legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Bronx to serving in the U.S. Department of Justice, as General Counsel for the U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority, and as the territory's Delegate to Congress, Rep. Plaskett brings decades of public service to this historic new chapter.

Congratulations, Governor-elect Stacey Plaskett!
