Julia’s life is a mess. Bash is angry at everything. Can two survivors actually learn to fall in love?
A YA feel-good clean romance. #CleanRomance

I'm seeing Mark Ruffalo promoting a petition to block Hakeem Jeffries from becoming the next Speaker of the House, while Hasan Piker, Mehdi Hasan, George Conway, Ron Filipkowski and others are criticizing his remarks on Morning Joe yesterday.
So I have to ask: Did they actually watch his FULL interview?
🔵 Jeffries didn't dismiss accountability. He explicitly DEMANDED it.
🔵 He clearly connected Trump's corruption to the affordability crisis.
🔵 He explained how Trump's war in Iran contributed to higher gas, diesel, fertilizer and grocery costs.
🔵 And he promised congressional oversight guided by facts, law and the Constitution.
🔵 And he made the distinction between ACCOUNTABILITY and RETRIBUTION.
That distinction matters.
Democrats didn't just win an election. They made promises to millions of Americans struggling to afford groceries, housing, healthcare and basic necessities.
Now is the time to unify and deliver, not for ignorant divisiveness that weakens our collective power.
LET'S BE CLEAR: Delivering does NOT mean giving Trump or anyone else a free pass.
Jeffries was beyond clear about the below ⤵
‣ Investigate corruption.
‣ Follow the money.
‣ Issue subpoenas.
‣ Hold wrongdoers accountable.
‣ And if the evidence supports impeachment, pursue it.
But making impeachment the opening act before the new Congress even convenes? That's not a substitute for governing.
Jeffries understands that Democrats have to do BOTH.
Criticism is healthy. Holding leadership accountable is essential. But there's a difference between demanding results and undermining a prospective Speaker before he's had the opportunity to deliver.
#AffordabilityAndAccountability pave the path to the future we're all fighting for.
Not retribution. Not political theater.
Listen to what Jeffries is actually saying before attacking him. And watch the FULL FUCKING interview ⤵ before yapping your fucking traps!

There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation:
- For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House.
- At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate.
- At least 14 Democratic women will serve as governors, a record high.
- A record of 2,600 Democratic women running for seats in state legislatures helped flip 12 majorities and break 11 supermajorities.
- Four states elected their first woman governor: Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee.
- @KeishaBottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as a governor.
- @DebHaalandNM will be the first Native American woman to serve as a governor.
- @GinaHinojosaTX will be the first Latina to serve as governor of Texas.
- @peggyflanagan will be the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate.
I am beyond excited to see these extraordinary people and public servants tackle accountability, affordability, and our other challenges to make life better for everyone in this country.
Congratulations to everyone who ran: win or lose, fighting for what's right is always worth it.

A thread 🧵If you wanted to watch seven hours of Fox News personalities losing their ever-loving minds on election night but don't want to waste seven hours of your life I've condensed it for you. Hour 1 - DENIAL - They had no idea what was coming 1/7

TX-33, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
From working shifts to meeting folks across our district and hearing your stories, I’ve never forgotten who I’m fighting for. Working families deserve someone in their corner, and I’ll never stop showing up for you.
I’m grateful for your trust. Let’s get to work!

Liz Cheney: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible. There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”

The Senate is voting Monday on a big energy bill called BAAJA, which makes it faster to approve power plants, power lines, and mining projects, and also makes giant data centers pay for the grid upgrades they trigger, not your electric bill. Call your senators. 202 224 3121

Wow. This is amazing!
The incoming House Oversight Committee chairman @RobertGarcia just outlined the four main investigations that Democrats will be opening when they take back the house in January.
It’s about time!!

The entire world was rooting for us: all around the world people are in tears over Americans saving their democracy from the authoritarian tyranny of Trump and Republicans.

After suspending my campaign for US Senate, I relaunched my state PAC to support 16 candidates running for state House and state Senate. Today, it took me a solid 30 minutes to text ALL of them congratulations.
100% win rate. And a Democratic trifecta.

If you are going to purge a highly decorated, three-star Navy Admiral from the Pentagon without cause, try to make sure she doesn't immediately move into a gerrymandered red district and win a seat in Congress. Democrat Nancy Lacore has flipped South Carolina’s 1st
Yes!
Put some respect on the name of our soon to be Speaker @RepJeffries !!!! He put in the work y’all!!!
