BREAKING: SOMALI STRONG! 9 Somali Americans won their elections last night despite the vile racist smear campaign that Trump has been waging against their entire ethnicity. Victory is the best revenge... Trump called Somalis "garbage." His relentless attacks against their communities were the most consistent racist barb in his arsenal this election cycle. He was convinced that throwing hateful red meat to his base would carry the day for MAGA. “I don’t want them in our country," he said. “They contribute nothing," he said. “Ilhan Omar is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage," he said. “Let them go back to where they came from and fix it," he said. He called Somalia “barely a country” and said Somalis come from “hell.” He said, “Their country stinks”. But last night, the American people stood up and showed him exactly what they think of Somalis. We support them, value them, and we think they belong in government! Rep. Ilhan Omar won reelection. Omar Fateh and Zaynab Mohamed won Minnesota State Senate seats in Minneapolis. Samakab Hussein won a Minnesota State House seat in St. Paul’s East Side. Mohamud Noor and Anquam Mahamoud won Minnesota State House house seats in Minneaplois. Abdi Daisane flipped a Minnesota State House seat in the the St. Cloud area. Ismail Mohamed and Munira Yasin Abdullahi won Ohio House seats in Columbus. Trump tried to make them a punchline. Instead, they made history. The MAGA era is over. We are sick and tired of letting these demented fascists divide us along racial and religious lines. America is vibrant, multiracial democracy and if Republicans don't like it, they can get out! Please ❤️ and share to congratulate these winners!

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

Maddow: It is Black women who won every single one of those races in Georgia for the Democrats—governor, secretary of state, attorney general, agriculture commissioner, insurance commissioner, school superintendent, labor commissioner and public service commissioner.

This is retired 3-Star Navy Admiral Nancy Lacore fired after 35 years of service by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for not being loyal to Trump. She is now the Congresswoman elect in SC 1 replacing Nancy Mace. She will be important in his impeachment

WATCH: In an epic moment, Senator Warnock slams the billionaires who try to buy our elections: “We need to see billionaires spending a whole lot less on our elections and spending a whole lot more on taxes.”

This is Jon Ossoff. He was just reelected as Senator of Georgia. 💙 He is also a future President of the United States. If you’re not convinced, just listen to him handle business. Ossoff does NOT fuck around.

For fifteen years, my native state of Indiana has suffered under one-party rule. But today, a new generation of leaders, like J.D. Ford and Beau Bayh, showed us all what's possible when you invest in so-called red states. Finally, Democrats have broken the Republican supermajority that has gripped Indiana for years. This is just a starting point for what Hoosier Democrats can do when they have the support to win!

“The midterms gonna come and y’all gonna get wiped out.” Marshan Camese, the New Orleans community activist who went viral in May 2026, called it. He said Millennials and Gen Z aren’t supporting racism and will play a major role in shaping the country’s future. #Election2026

Tonight, I make a solemn promise to every single Texan. Whether you voted for me or Governor Abbott, or felt so betrayed by a broken politics that you did not vote at all. Hear what Texas said today, loud and clear: Your government belongs to you. And as your governor, I will never forget it. There will be no special set of rules for the wealthy and powerful. No looking the other way when someone in my own party does wrong. The trust you have placed in me tonight is not a blank check. It is a sacred responsibility. And I intend to earn it every single day.

Last night, Americans made a clear call for accountability and affordability. A body politic cannot recover until its harms have been treated and its wounds have been healed. Crimes against our people and our Constitution must be answered for. The historic abuses of the last two years must be prevented from happening again. American families should be able to thrive, not just survive. Every child should have the chance to live up to his or her full potential. The American Dream must be more than a mirage. I am confident Democrats can deliver both, and much more. The post-Trump era begins now.

The scale of the G.O.P.’s loss in Tuesday’s midterm elections defied even Donald Trump’s ability to lie, dissemble, and squirm his way out of it. These were the President’s own voters, in states where he won by huge margins just a couple of years ago. “The scale of this is so large because the scale of Trump’s offenses has been so vast,” Susan Glasser writes. Tariffs and trade wars, Canada-bashing, Europe-bashing, the betrayal of Ukraine and embrace of Vladimir Putin, the grotesque self-enrichment of himself and his circle, the unleashing of an armed militia of ICE goons on our streets. “They voted because so much of what is happening in Trump’s America seems so very un-American,” Glasser continues.

Thanks to all you who woke up and got to work organizing! All of you who voted for decency, fairness, equality, justice and against the flagrant corruption in our political system which has been stacked against the working people of this country. And a special thanks to the wave of first time voters and young people who took a step towards the future they deserve. Rise up and sing! Celebrate. Then we go to work reforming our party and our nation for good.
