Republicans no longer believe in democracy. Or basic human decency. Born to dilly dally. Forced to fight fascists. Never Lose Your Sense of Wonder . No DM'S

Thank you to all the voters who rejected tyranny and embraced freedom, justice and democracy.

But an enormous shoutout to all the volunteers!

You wrote postcards, created tons of social media content, sent texts, knocked on doors & made cold calls to inform and educate!

You are true heroes!

MAGA is having an epiphany about their authoritarian messiah. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ‘‡

I want to see live news coverage from the NYC airports, showing all the billionaires loading their luggage onto their private jets and flying out of town

INTERESTING TIMES WITH ROSS DOUTHAT Mamdani's Victory Is Less Significant Than You Think

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

Trump says a key reason Republicans got shellacked was the shutdown. Trump could end the shutdown now by cutting a deal with Democrats to make health care affordable for millions of Americans. He won't do it because he doesn't want to give Dems a win in Congress. He doesn't care if people suffer.

These Election Day results are so sweet for so many reasons.

But also, this is the biggest fuck you to Trump!

This isn’t just a loss for him. It’s a full-throated rejection of his agenda and his cruelty.

Forgive the Revolutionary War symbolism.

Today, NJ & VA were at a pivotal moment β€” just like during 2 defining periods of the Revolution. This time, two strong women stood against the pull of authoritarianism.

NJ & VA became beacons of victory & democratic strength for a nation needing it.

You can't. You have to crush them. And unfortunately that's really hard to do when a chunk of your own party is as eager to deplatform you as your enemies are.

Here’s the CEO of the Federalist calling to β€œcrush” the left. (So far it’s not working.)

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.

From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

I mean this is so far pretty close to a 10 out of 10 night for Democrats. Winning everywhere! Statewide in PA and GA, huge margin in VA gov race. Sherrill tracking double digits as well! Mamdani above 50% in a the highest turnout in NYC since 1969. Big pick ups in VA House of Delegates.

Firing and furloughing a good portion of the state population is not a winning strategy for the GOP. On top of denying federal disaster dollars for their own Red districts out in the mountains. Oof.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Someone needs to tell him the people he endorsed lost, so Trump WAS on the ballot.
