1/Please help spread the word. Itβs a long road ahead for the community, homeowners & renters alike. Renters however, have been overlooked, underfunded, & deprioritized in recovery efforts. We still need help to rebuild our lives after the #EatonFire ππ½

I love that he is an asshole to the media and Republicans. I hate respectability politics. Get that kumbaya shit outta here.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

I walked the Trump rally line to listen, not make assumptions. I talked with voters, asked questions and heard what matters to them.
When I'm elected, I'll represent all 82 counties and every Mississippian, no matter who they voted for. That's what being your senator means. #MississippiMatters

Donβt allow Republicans and media to set the narrative with their framing and word choices. Push back every time. Congressional oversight and investigations are not about RETRIBUTION, they are about ACCOUNTABILITY. You were elected to hold them accountable, never forget it.

Last nightβs victories in the South, in the Sunbelt and across the country transformed what we imagine for America. Here are my thoughts this morning.

I know this is a joke but I also want so badly to believe this is true. That Americans spent a whole summer partying peacefully and freely with people from all over the world and realized in the process that demonizing foreigners is dumb and bad.

As Black people have been trying to tell them for DECADES.
Mississippi is winnable.
Alabama is winnable.
Louisiana is winnable.
..but not without investment and not without Black outreach and advisors.

I have a message for my colleagues in the House.Β
Democrats, donβt tell me about a majority, show me a majority.
Don't just talk about healthcare justice, pass Medicare for all.Β
Don't just talk about abortion justice, pass the EACH Act and repeal the Hyde Amendment.Β
Don't just talk about Black lives mattering, enact reparations now.Β
Don't just talk about ending ICE terror, take every last dollar from them and abolish it.

Super shoutout to the 5000 people working for the AP tonight, going to local election offices, waiting for results to be posted and filing stories so Americans can know in a timely manner who they picked to lead. Itβs a beautiful thing. πΊπΈ

Remember, if your vote didnβt matter, they wouldnβt be working so hard to stop you from casting it.

Please remember all the anti-democratic dogs that did not bark today.
ICE did not intimidate or arrest voters at polling stations.
Trump's attempt to disenfranchise voters in California failed miserably.
Trump's planned shenanigans in Alaska no longer matter. Dems already won the Senate.
And we dont have to wait anxiously to see what the House clerk will do on January 3rd regarding the seating of newly elected members. This blowout makes that anti-democratic tactic completely untenable now.
Democrats won big tonight.
But so too did democracy.
Those who predicted democracy's death in America were mistaken.

Worth saying: credit to the Attorneys General offices, small law firms, and nonprofits who fought the corruption of this administration when our largest law firms hid or capitulated. Their heroic work stopped the worst abuses of this Administration and protected millions of Americans from harm.
The legal profession has changed forever. And those who chose rank self-interest when the rule of law in this nation faced an existential threat should have to live with that decision for the rest of their professional lives.
