.@KamalaHarris set out to fight to defend our fundamental freedoms and build a country that works for everyone. She stood up for working families, decency, and opportunity.
Though this is not the outcome we wanted, our fight for freedom and opportunity endures.
California will seek to work with the incoming president -- but let there be no mistake, we intend to stand with states across our nation to defend our Constitution and uphold the rule of law.
Federalism is the cornerstone of our democracy. It’s the United STATES of America.
Today would be a good day for Biden to lift restrictions on the use of our weapons by Ukraine in Russia. Putin is not going to use a nuclear weapon two months Trump comes into office. No way.
Does anyone know what will happen if Judge Merchan sentences Trump to prison on November 26th? Even as president, Trump can’t pardon himself for state crimes.
Election Day was Judgement Day for America. A majority embraced a racist and misogynistic criminal who tried to overthrow American democracy and who has been called a "fascist" by former aides. It can happen here. It has. This is us. Here's my latest:

New: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended Orlando's top prosecutor just over a year ago. Tonight, she was reelected back into her seat as State's Attorney. https://t.co/WiFTRApETq
White people in America should never again talk about criminal behavior, amongst Black people, immigrants, or anyone else when they are literally casting ballots for a convicted felon to be president of the United States.
Thank you to the people of the Bronx and Queens for re-electing me to another term in Congress.
As a waitress, I never thought serving in Congress would ever be a reality.
It will always remain the honor of my life to serve our community.
RUSSIA HAS COMMITTED AN ACT OF WAR AGAINST THIS NATION AND ITS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION:
The dozens of bomb threats against polling places yesterday is terrorism
How have we retaliated? Established a toll-free tip line

It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won. Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases won. Vladimir Putin won. Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won. Most of all: Fear Won. That's what hurts.
BREAKING: NAACP has filed an Amicus brief in federal court in Georgia, requesting the court deny the Republican National Convention's request to not count absentee ballots submitted over the weekend.
Make no mistake: THIS is voter suppression at work, but we’re fighting back.

Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people.
He was the worst POTUS in history.
Impeached twice.
Convicted felon.
Tried to stage a coup.
Sold state secrets.
But hey …at least he isn’t an intelligent Black woman.
Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.
