A big thank you to my boss @amyklobuchar for her strong leadership on this important legislation and for the opportunity to work on it — I’ve dreamed about reforming this law since I was 12 years old (yes really). A big win indeed!

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

We’ve passed the Electoral Count Reform Act. Antiquated laws should not be abused to challenge the will of the American people. A big win for democracy.

Grace. Respect. Love.

Over the long term, we shouldn’t have political gerrymandering in America, just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who’s got better ideas. But since Texas is taking direction from a partisan White House and gerrymandering in the middle of a decade to try and maintain the House despite their unpopular policies, I have tremendous respect for how Governor Newsom has approached this. He’s put forward a smart, measured approach in California, designed to address a very particular problem at a very particular moment in time.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

It's official. California's special election is ON for November 4th.

The People of California will be able to cast their vote for a Congressional map.

Direct democracy that gives us a fighting chance to STOP Donald Trump's election rigging.

Time to fight fire with fire.

@AmericanAir DM sent. I have talked to more than a dozen AA employees and nobody has been remotely helpful. This bag isn’t even missing, it’s just not moving. Air travel is bad enough on the best day—and AA made it worse today.

[Matthew S. Shapanka @mattshapanka]

.@AmericanAir: I’ve talked to more than 10 of your employees in 24 hours and none of them can tell me why my suitcase is still in Charlotte, NC, despite repeated assurances it’s on the “next flight” out. DM me to solve this problem. -Very angry customer who won’t fly AA again.

The truth about shutting down Voice of America:
Stalin, Mao and Khomeini couldn’t quell freedom’s voice. But Trump did. https://t.co/Ur6a1pvFck

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

As I said today, let’s remember where the power in that Capitol rotunda comes from: the people. The construction workers, teachers, health care workers, and the firefighters in LA. Our democracy must match their grit and determination.

Scripture says: “I have been young and now I’m old yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken.”

After all these years serving you, the American people, I have not seen the righteous forsaken.

I love you all.

May you keep the faith.
And may God bless you all.

Dear @Andy (and @andersoncooper), Can I be friends with Lou and Evelyn? #cnnnye

The bald eagle has long been a symbol of freedom, but it hasn’t been named as our national bird until now. I lead this bipartisan effort to finally give the bald eagle the recognition it deserves.

If you’re still in line to vote, stay in line. I know some folks have been waiting for a long time, but don’t give up — your vote matters.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:

– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them. 

– Don’t share things before checking your sources. 

– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Tomorrow.
