Politics needs compromise and dignity again. I believe in helping people, not enabling them. Give someone a fish and they eat for a day; teach someone to fish and they eat for a lifetime.

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

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

Zohran Mamdani recently celebrated Sylvia Rivera, spoke out against the hate campaign targeting the marginalised trans community, and promised to make New York an LGBTQIA sanctuary. He’s now Mayor of NYC! I hope UK politicians will have the backbone and decency to do the same. youtu.be/bEvVSpN0BXg 🏳️‍⚧️

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Republicans still have no idea how badly the government shutdown has affected families in DC, Virginia, and Maryland. They're so out of touch and in bed with the billionaires.

Well, they're going to find out tonight!

Over half of the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom are facing (or recently faced) federal investigations into wrongdoing — including violating workers’ rights or misleading consumers.

They also have a combined $279 BILLION in federal contracts.

Follow the money.

Another win! Voters in California approved Proposition 50!

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

Now, it is something that we do.”

I don’t get it, Mamdani didn’t go on Rogan or post any solo work out videos that I could find, he just walked around town telling voters about his ideas to help them

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.

That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

People don’t seem to like billionaires controlling their lives and democracy. Good. We have to sustain collective and coordinated resistance to the authoritarian-billionaire doom loop.

Democrats in Virginia may make big gains in the state legislature. By my count, 11 GOP state House incumbents are losing their races. Dems currently hold a 51-49 edge in the VA House of Delegates. +11 is a big shift.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

So refreshing to see a politician who can actually laugh at himself. Mamdani’s reaction on the eve of Election Day to his “appearance” on SNL last weekend was awesome! I am so hopeful he wins this race! He’s a breath of fresh air!

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
