Huge congratulations to Susan Crawford on a resounding, well-earned victory tonight. Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election demonstrates Musk and Trump have gone too far, and any politician allied with them could swiftly face the end of their political career. My statement:
Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community.
There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you’re ready.
And know that, whenever you are ready, I’ll be ready to get back in with you.
Illinois Midterm early voting ends on Monday and Election Day is Tuesday (6/28). I will be taking my anger out tonight by donating to places like the ones below and tomorrow by voting. Every single person with a uterus deserves the right to a safe abortion if they so choose.
Enraged?
Some ways to help from your friends at @votesaveamerica:
1) Help fund abortion clinics and access to abortion where it's still legal: https://t.co/NFjlcDYyTA
If you can, please split a contribution between abortion funds in states with trigger laws that will immediately ban abortion—100% of your donation will support these grassroots groups: https://t.co/D0IFgyq5x7
Betsy DeVos has never done her job to help America’s students. It doesn’t surprise me one bit that she’d rather quit than do her job to help invoke the 25th Amendment.
Good riddance, Betsy. You were the worst Secretary of Education ever. https://t.co/im1IgGQVSp
As you watch MAGA protestors storm the capitol largely unimpeded, recall that BLM protestors were peacefully outside the White House and Trump had them dispersed with, what turned out to be, tear gas.
With new votes joining the tally, we are on a strong path. But even while we wait for more, let’s celebrate the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups that haven’t stopped going since Nov. Across our state, we roared. A few miles to go...but well done!
A great way to donate in one spot and have your money be appropriately allocated to the teams doing great work on the ground in GA. Winning these senate runoffs would allow the Biden/Harris administration to elect the right cabinet members and actually pass helpful legislation.
The Pfizer news means the value of avoiding infections over the next few months has gone way up. That in turn should make states more willing to move aggressively to reduce infections in the short term. The aim should be to get as many people through the winter as possible.
Georgia has a choice: you can have two Senators who work with the new President to protect your health care, or two grifters who refuse to even recognize the new President and want to take your health care away.
BREAKING: JOE BIDEN WINS
Joe Biden will be the 46th president of the United States, CNN projects, after a victory in Pennsylvania puts the Scranton-born Democrat over 270 https://t.co/q8Fed74z0j #CNNElection
Pence demanding that Harris answer *his* own personal questions when he won’t even answer the moderator’s is gross, and exemplary of the gender dynamics so many women have to deal with at work.
@PodSaveAmerica@actblue Boom. A notorious $20 million.
To everyone who donated in honor of RBG, thank you. 44 days left to go. Let's get the job done.

Democratic donors broke the fund-raising record for ActBlue, the donation-processing site, giving $6.2 million in the 9 p.m. hour after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. Then they broke it again the next hour — giving more than $100,000 per minute. https://t.co/IefJ4Zg6WM
@jonlovett@jonlovett, as a resident of Darien, IL I deeply thank you for this representation haha!! I’ve already had to reset our lights on a timer to turn on before 7pm. Give us one win this COVID-fall/winter Congress and let us see sunlight past 4pm!!
Breaking via NYT: The NBA and its players's union announced a plan to convert league arenas — provided they are under team ownership control — into polling locations for the November election as part of an agreement to resume the playoffs on Saturday.

The DNC clip of Brayden speaking last night was so moving. Here’s the moment he actually met Joe Biden and it is just as touching and worth the watch. #Biden2020
