A leader who can’t get their caucus to show up for work is not a leader capable of being an effective Speaker of the House.

@AyannaPressley would be a phenomenal choice. She campaigned in the South (incl. in Florida for Angie) and represents where the Democratic Party should be.

BREAKING: Thomas Massie’s resolution to impeach Pete Hegseth fails in the House 211-204, after 11 Democrats failed to show up for the vote.

If those 11 Democrats had showed up, Hegseth would have been impeached 215-211.

Randomly still think about how in 1978 Bernie's local paper went around asking people their New Year’s resolutions and everyone’s was like ‘I want to quit smoking’ and ‘finish high school,’ and Bernie was 'I want to make people wake up to the radical change needed in society.'

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.

They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts��� was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

Mississippi State Bulldogs running back Kylin Hill said he wouldn’t play for his university with its Confederate state flag in 2020. The Republican state government changed the flag that week.

Organized football players and college athletes can change America. Thank you, Kylin.

Mississippi ditched its Confederate inspired flag, introduced an actually very pleasing flag, and was blue within 5 years. Life comes at you fast

"Bernie called, two weeks before Christmas in 2014 ... What would you do if you were me? Second Bill of Rights." And off I went to work for him in the Senate.

I always believed that returning to FDR was the unfinished business of the Democratic Party.

@OliverALarkin Grumpy’s grandfather fought in the Battle of Blair Mountain, it’s a proud day for him.

Receiving word that shortly after Tuesday’s midterm results the Seven Dwarfs won card check recognition to unionize the Mine Train with the United Mine Workers of America

There are too many extraordinary people to thank in one train of thought, but these are some of the candidates, electeds, & movement leaders who threw themselves into the work of electing @AngieNixon. That work was meaningful & impactful. As Angie said, 2028 is around the corner.

[Oliver Larkin @OliverALarkin]

Well before my fingers start to itch firing off hot takes at @AngieNixon’s past and (potentially) future primary opponents, I’m realizing I haven’t posted since Tuesday, so some thank yous are in order.

First, thank you Angie. It’s been an honor working to make history with you.

[Oliver Larkin @OliverALarkin]

Thank you @MelatKirosCO for showing that the work doesn’t stop after one primary win. As a Congresswoman you’ll be legislating for the people of CO-1 and across the country, including in Florida. You are a Rep. for every Floridian who heard your message at Chomp the Oligarchy.
