Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.

Montana, Nevada, Arizona, and Missouri voted for a woman's right to choose while simultaneously voting for the guy who stripped them of that right. Wild times.

Here's the challenge for the Democratic Party: Missouri voted for a $15 minimum wage, paid sick leave, and abortion rights & Democrats cannot compete there at all. Why? The answer to that is the road to a comeback.

Between NC Dems, Baldwin, Slotkin, Gallego and Rosen, Dems could very well end up winning at least one race in 270 electoral votes worth of states. A winning coalition of voters willing to vote for Dems was out there, even with this electorate. They just didn’t want Kamala.

He’s going to inherit another booming economy and immediately start taking credit for record unemployment and stock market gains. After a full year of calling it the worst in the world. And he’ll crash it all over again and leave the mess for a Democrat to clean up, again.

I voted for her. I think he’s a bad guy.
But if you lose the senate, house, electoral college AND popular vote, and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same thing will likely happen in 2028.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

It’s insane to me that we now live in a world where Democratic polling locations are being targeted with fake bomb threats in order to suppress turnout.

I cannot emphasize enough how disturbing it is that Fulton and Dekalb county voting precincts were targeted for bomb threats.
These are the biggest, Blackest counties in Georgia. A quarter of the state's Black population between them.

Russia calling in bomb threats to polling places in liberal districts across the country should be bigger news right now. They’re interfering for Trump right in the open, right in front of our faces

Want an example of a broken system? Florida DIDN’T “reject” the proposal to include a right to abortion in the constitution — they voted 58.2% in favor of abortion rights. But it needed 60% to pass, so it failed WITH A MAJORITY.
Can’t imagine what Florida women must be thinking.
