Jeffries on Fox: "In this great country, when you work hard & play by the rules, there should be no ceiling to the success you can achieve. At same time, as Ds we believe in a strong floor that includes Social Security, Medicare, & Medicaid- things unfortunately my Republican colleagues are cutting"

And they're living it up with dancing girls at Mar-a-Lago and drinking bubbly at the new CafΓ© de Rose Garden and hitting companies up for Trump's opulent ballroom and squeezing a 747 from Qatar and selling watches and crypto and sneakers and otherwise making a mint.

It shouldn't be hard at all.

THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN DOING THAT FOR 20 YEARS.

People stood in line to vote last night despite bomb threats at polling sites.

In California, they stood in line to vote in neighborhoods that have been flooded by ICE.

People will vote if they have great candidates to vote FOR.

Let's get to work.

Predictably - the Trump/Republican response to last night won’t be to try to earn more votes, it will be to suppress the vote.

What happened here in California tonight is a victory for the people of this country.

Donald Trump’s attempts to rig the midterm elections are backfiring.

His attempts to silence you are backfiring.

His entire presidency is backfiring.

Vance Family Strikes Out as His MAGA Brother Loses Election Cory Bowman lost to Democratic incumbent Aftab Pureval.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

McCaskill: There's people like Sherrod Brown and Roy Cooper that are very happy tonight. We didn't think the senate was going to be in play next year. I think after tonight, it’s in play.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

If you are a Democratic senator watching these results and the lesson you take is "I should cave and help Republicans reopen the government for nothing more than a promise written on toilet paper" then you shouldn't be in the Senate anymore
