What the Fighting Oligarchy Tour showed was that people across this country — Democrats, Republicans and independents — reject oligarchy, reject authoritarianism and reject kleptocracy.
Thank you to everyone who attended and was inspired to change the direction of our nation.
Keisha Lance Bottoms is the great-great-granddaughter of an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek.
She will soon live in the Georgia Governor’s Mansion, mere miles from where he was enslaved, as the first-ever Black woman elected Governor.
Maddow: It is Black women who won every single one of those races in Georgia for the Democrats—governor, secretary of state, attorney general, agriculture commissioner, insurance commissioner, school superintendent, labor commissioner and public service commissioner.
When everyone was on their back foot in '25, Zohran changed the energy and found a formula for politics that was joyful, disciplined, and unafraid. Completely changed the game.
I know a lot of folks are talking about the election results, but this tweet, from a sitting @VP, is stunning. The decision to go to war is the most solemn responsibility that a President and Vice President have as leaders.
So for you to reduce it to a simple political calculation while we still have 50,000 troops in the Middle East, is one of the most crass, cynical things I've seen. You and President Trump got us into this war, without a clear objective and without regard for the will of the American people. It's cost us American lives and billions of dollars of American treasure, with no end in sight.
Last night, the American people delivered a crystal-clear message about the mismanagement of this war, and what it has done to our pocketbooks. Whether you supported the war or simply failed to stop it, your job is not to try and cover yourself, but to get us out of it.
Abdul El-Sayed TROLLING Trump and JD Vance After Winning Michigan’s Senate Race
To JD Vance: “Habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in, in January.”
To Trump: “I know you struggle with my name, so after JD swears me in, you can just go on and call me Senator.”
Peggy Flanagan: "You said no more masked goons shooting our neighbors and terrorizing our communities. You said no more ballrooms, no more bombs or tax breaks for billionaires. The grift stops now. And the taking back our country from the grip of the most corrupt administration in our nation's history starts tonight ... When Minnesotans fight for one another, we can inspire a nation to join that fight. Because when you come for one of us, you come for all of us."
Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.
Not sure any Dem surrogate campaigned as hard as Sanders this cycle

Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families.
No more excuses.
Ossoff: "In sweeping and decisive victories, the American people have rebuked the depravity, corruption, and incompetence of the failed lame duck president, Donald J Trump"
This looks like a screenshot from a movie where the main villain says to the news, “if the children wanted their rec center so much maybe they should have gotten jobs!”, thereby accidentally kicking off the chain of events that will lead to the kids saving the rec center
