Probably as good a time as any to repost this.😎
My predictions for Tuesday's elections is a clean sweep for Democrats and democracy:

NJ: Sherrill wins.
VA: Spanberger wins.
NYC: Mamdani wins.
CA: Prop 50 passes.
ME: Q1 fails.
PA: SCOPA Justices are retained.

Huge night for democrats and democracy tonight. As we celebrate, though, we need to plan forward. We need to avoid complacency, and to be ready for inevitable backlash from Trump and the GOP. We’ll need to work to turn this step forward into the next. Onward.

There is not one face of the Democratic Party. Tonight proved there are many faces, but each with a commitment to fight back against the reckless failure of the Trump regime and actually serve people.

Thank goodness.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

McCaskill: There's people like Sherrod Brown and Roy Cooper that are very happy tonight. We didn't think the senate was going to be in play next year. I think after tonight, it’s in play.

Voters might not be happy with the Democratic Party, but this election proves that they know good Democratic candidates and messaging when they see them, and they’ll show up.

Grow this energy for 2026!

Tonight, California made it clear: we’re taking back our voice and democracy.

Here’s to proof that when we act together, we win.

Why are the American people paying for Steve Miller & family living at taxpayers expense in military housing to augment their personal security at taxpayers expense?

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second?

I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit
I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Democrats and the majority must come up with a plan NOW on what to do when, not if, Trump and Stephen Miller go for martial law.

People still aren't paying attention. Take them literally and seriously, folks.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.
