Weโ€™re so proud of everyone who made this happen. Thank you for knocking on doors, making calls, writing postcards, working the polls, and most importantly voting. Letโ€™s have another round tonight! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

And sorry for blowing up your newsfeed today, we promise itโ€™s all for a good cause! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Heโ€™s now calling to end the filibuster after losing every race, from big to small-town seats. Republicans are unlikely to do that; it would be a short-term play with long-term consequences.

Trump is throwing a tantrum tonight, demanding โ€œvoter reform.โ€ What does that even mean? He wants to stop Americans from voting because when we do, like we did tonight, we create a blue wave ๐ŸŒŠ.

'Inhumane' conditions at Chicago-area ICE facility, advocates allege in new lawsuit Attorneys with the ACLU of Illinois and the MacArthur Justice Center say U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have denied people being held at the Broadview facility private calls with attorneys and have blocked members of Congress, faith leaders and journalists from entering the building, creating a โ€œblack boxโ€ they say has allowed authorities to act โ€œwith impunity.โ€

Federal agents are acting with impunity at the Broadview ICE facility โ€” packing people into holding cells without beds, forcing them to sign away their legal rights, and denying access to food, medical care, and lawyers.

The ACLU of Illinois will see ICE in court.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.

Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

The voters have spoken, not sure what good a lawsuit will do. California Republicans filed a lawsuit this morning challenging the new congressional map that takes effect following the approval of Proposition 50.

โ€œEverybody I know is screwed if health insurance premiums go up.โ€

That's what's at stake in this shutdown.

No. I will not vote for a budget that doubles premiums.

I will not vote for a budget that makes the largest cut to Medicaid in history.

Democrats must not cave.

History is about to be made with the longest government shutdown in our history. Trump and Republicans will own it.

Two district judges have ordered the release of funds to keep the SNAP program running. Trump has indicated that he would "partially" fund it. ๐Ÿ™„ #NebDems

Do we want to continue to put power in the hands of billionaires and Trump-backed politicians? Or do we want to elect leaders who will fight to make life more affordable for everyone?

Two federal courts have told Trump to pay SNAP benefits. But heโ€™s still threatening to break the law and delay payments.

Trump is trying to use hungry children, veterans, and seniors as a political bargaining chip. He wants to force people to go hungry until he gets his way.
