A bright spot in a long week (for me, if not for Rosie) was getting my first copy of Run to Win in the mail. Such a pleasure to get to work on @Schriock1’s first book. Can’t wait for you to read it—order here: bookshop.org/books?keywords=…

Great group. Now we're ready to add in Scott Colom and Mary Peltola!
First Freshmen Senator selfie! Couldn’t ask for a better team.

BREAKING: Trump's admin announced they plan to cut food assistance for 6.3 million more Americans. Let's be clear: this is completely voluntary. Americans spoke out against the cruelty of this admin and instead of listening, they doubled down on making life harder.

Baby and I are on our way back to D.C. to vote in Congress! This place wasn’t built for young moms, but we will not stop defying expectations and working to make things better. This will be a journey, but I'm committed to serving NJ-10 and being the best mom I can be.💜

I’m hopping on a plane to DC tomorrow for freshmen orientation tomorrow - so bonkers, it’s all happening! Excited to get to work for us. Between now and January you’ll still see me working at the restaurant in Eau Claire. I got debt and bills to pay! So proud to be a voice to embolden the working class and reclaim rural power in Congress.

For those counting at home (and I am!), this means more than half of the people in America will soon live in a Democratic trifecta.
Democratic Trifectas After the 2016 Election: - California - Connecticut - Delaware - Hawaii - Oregon - Rhode Island Democratic Trifectas After the 2026 Election: - Alaska - Arizona - California - Colorado - Connecticut - Delaware - Hawaii - Illinois - Maine - Maryland - Massachusetts - Michigan - Minnesota - Nevada - New Jersey - New Mexico - New York - Oregon - Pennsylvania - Rhode Island - Virginia - Washington - Wisconsin

More of this please. We won! We actually do want a lot of the same things! Let’s focus on those and actually get shit done instead of feeding the algo with the narcissism of small differences.

This is smart thinking. So let's start working on making government work for the rest of us and not those 15 tech bros.
Hinojosa: I say that the left right paradigm just does not meet the moment of our time. What this is about is about 99.9% of us in the same boat against like 15 billionaire tech guys who are controlling government…

5 of the 7 Democrats who’ve flipped Senate seats so far previously held state or local office. They didn’t “come from no where” — they came from being rooted in serving their community.

Read the whole thread.
All the attention this morning is on Democrats flipping control of Congress, but the other big story is the state legislatures. Here in Indiana, .@PhilGiaQuinta says Democrats appear set to control at least 46 of the 100 seat seats in the Indiana House, up from 30 (1/3)

Thank you, Chuck Hubbard. For standing up for everyone. And for showing us all that it’s not hard to explain why we won’t throw people under the bus to win races.
Must watch: Meet Chuck Hubbard, who is set to defeat Virginia Foxx in a safe Trump +18 district in North Carolina. Just a normal guy, he decided to run for office to stand up for his LGBTQ daughter and defend her rights in Trump’s America.

This is pretty great. Congrats to every candidate, campaign and person who made this happen.
Democrats have won more votes than any party in midterm history: 66 million and counting.

This is why we work so hard for trifectas. If you like this, please invest in state legislatures and groups that do this work, like @States_Win, @DLCC, @runforsomething, and @emilyslist.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro plans to raise the minimum wage, codify abortion rights, and invest in mass transit after Democrats flipped the State Senate.

Last night, Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) told me something I keep thinking about: While Democrats may want to celebrate, they need to remember that this isn't a sporting event. This is Americans sending the strongest signal possible that they are in pain, and hurting, and want help. Now Congress needs to answer that call. It was powerful stuff, and if the party is smart they'll follow his instincts.

Tonight is because of the work of every volunteer, county chair, precinct leader, organizer, activist, candidate, and anyone who dared to dream that North Carolina deserved better. Welcome to a new South.

Just a reminder that contrary to what at least one host on TV said tonight, this does not happen by accident. There are state parties and orgs doing the work on the ground and working with candidates who work hard and run great races with little money or attention.
Democrats *gain* full control of: —Minnesota —Pennsylvania —Wisconsin —likely Arizona —likely Michigan —prob Alaska (but early) (And came shockingly close in NC & GA.) (Maybe Nevada? We have nothing.) They broke GOP trifectas in: —Georgia —Iowa —New Hampshire —Ohio —Texas

Big wins across the country, but I can't help but be grateful that so many more people are going to see themselves in our elected leaders. We just elected the first Native American woman governor and senator (with one more to come?), first Black woman governor,

First openly gay man to the US Senate. We are likely to elect the first Muslim to the Senate. And more firsts around the country. Thank you to everyone who ran--breaking barriers is never easy, but our government should represent ALL of us.
