DEMOCRATS MUST DELIVER Trumpism grew out of the failure of the Democratic Party to stand with working families. That cannot continue. At a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality and declining faith in democracy, Democrats MUST deliver. No excuses. - Medicare for All - A $20-an-hour minimum wage - The PRO Act - A wealth tax on billionaires, which would pay for universal childcare, free public colleges and universities, and a massive housing program - An AI data center moratorium - Bringing ICE under control and comprehensive immigration reform - REAL campaign finance reform

Minnesota, even when you weren’t safe, even when it would have been easier to stay silent, you stood up. You protected your neighbors, made your voices heard, and made sure the world saw the cruelty of ICE.   And this week, we saw just how much you inspired the nation. You protected democracy.   I love you, Minnesota.

The first ripple of the blue wave started right here in the streets of Minneapolis.
Been thinking about this moment a lot tonight In retrospect, feels like a gigantic turning point in all of this. Felt like it at the time to some extent too

Matt Little proved you can run a progressive, people-powered campaign in a swing district and win. I’m looking forward to Matt bringing his energy, his humor, and his honesty to the halls of Congress. Well done, @LittleCongress.

Keith Ellison: "Donald Trump demanded we turn on our Somali neighbors, and we said 'no way, never!' He demanded that we turn on our immigrant and refugee neighbors, and we say, 'no way, never!' He demanded that we turn on our trans neighbors, and we said 'absolutely not' ... tonight, we showed up for each other again."

FUN FACT: Federal officials who willfully and unlawfully conceal, remove, or destroy federal records can face up to three years in prison under 18 U.S.C. § 2071(b).
There is a panic at DHS HQ right now; shredders are likely being run around the clock; emails deleted; video records scrubbed; and hasty contracts signed. They've got a lot of money to get to their friends, and a lot of misconduct to hide. Draft the subpoenas now.

Blue wave was so big Alabama just elected a trans woman.
BIG news out of Alabama, as Allison Montgomery has become the first ever openly transgender state legislator in Alabama history! She flipped the Trump+5 #HD25 on the west side of Huntsville

Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families. No more excuses.
