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.

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again because it's still true: We were better off under President Biden.
WAY better.

There has been another shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis and I am working to get more information. I will update as soon as possible. To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW.

You have to send out the national guard, Governor.

Masked federal agents in Minnesota just shot and killed another person.
We must put a stop to Trump’s ICE. Now.
Stop the funding, stop the occupations, stop the killings.

There's growing pessimism on the D.C. Council that the House will ever act on the bill to fix the $1.1 billion hole it created in the city's local budget. "It's not clear it will happen," says @ChmnMendelson, who has been speaking to people on Capitol Hill about it.

The House CR has lots of problems, but a big one is that it restricts how the District of Columbia spends its OWN money. This doesn't save a single federal tax dollar—it just treats DC residents like pawns.
It's undemocratic and un-American. I will fight it on the Senate floor.
