Every Republican left standing will have to respond to all of his hateful statements. Every reporter should relentlessly demand reactions. He will piss off so many people so fast - won’t last long. 🤞🏻

YOU helped paved the way for all of them! #ImWithHer
There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation:
- For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House.
- At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate.
- At least 14 Democratic women will serve as governors, a record high.
- A record of 2,600 Democratic women running for seats in state legislatures helped flip 12 majorities and break 11 supermajorities.
- Four states elected their first woman governor: Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee.
- @KeishaBottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as a governor.
- @DebHaalandNM will be the first Native American woman to serve as a governor.
- @GinaHinojosaTX will be the first Latina to serve as governor of Texas.
- @peggyflanagan will be the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate.
I am beyond excited to see these extraordinary people and public servants tackle accountability, affordability, and our other challenges to make life better for everyone in this country.
Congratulations to everyone who ran: win or lose, fighting for what's right is always worth it.

That’s my Governor 👇🏻❤️🔥
So overwhelmed with gratitude and excited for the work ahead. I appreciate the hundreds of people who leaned in and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve and take on the important work ahead, as I shared in my speech last night. youtu.be/64MRA5UB3Ac?si=q16O…

👇🏻 What if, and I’m just spitballing here, he moved back to South Africa?
Elon Musk moving to Texas to get away from Dems, becoming the biggest partisan megadonor in history, then spending around a half-billion dollars to have his own state go blue immediately in the next election — with data centers the top gov issue — is pretty impressive

National treasure @AngieNixon. Keep going. We need you.
People of Florida. Y’all better hold your damn head high. We broke state legislature super majorities because we drove turnout while everyone wrote us off.
We have work to do sure, but let’s celebrate the fact we won 17 seats down ballot.
I’m an organizer. And I look forward to getting back to what I love and know best. Organizing THE HELL out of my state.
Let’s get to work!

I want to remind everyone that while money in politics is obscene and I hope to one day organize myself out of a job, for comparison, this is projected to be an $11 billion+ #election and a $13 billion+ #Halloween. #priorities
