Why pass a GOP 5 year farm bill during lame duck session?
One year extension
Let a new Democratic Senate and House write a Better Farm Bill for the future, not the past

“The Democratic surge on Tuesday netted at least 330 state legislative seats, from New Hampshire to Arizona, giving the Democrats full control of 22 state governments and making them the majority in a dozen statehouse chambers where they had been the minority party” nytimes.com/2026/11/04/us/po…

I'd like to point out the utter extinction of the Republican Party in California. They're down to a delegation of as few as 3 Reps out of 52 in the new House. Californians took up the gantlet thrown down by Texas and wiped out the GOP....

If the remaining results go as expected, Democrats will hold governorships in states totaling 392 electoral votes.

The final ballots that put us over the top came in from the precincts of the high school where Jake taught @DomSokotoff, myself, and thousands of students. It was such a great moment at 1:30am last night when we saw that those were most of the remaining ballots.
An incredible campaign. Jake criss-crossed MN-01 to hold town halls in all 21 counties, proving that showing up really matters.
Southern MN couldn't ask for a better voice in Congress — Jake was one of my most inspiring teachers in school.
Go follow @JakeJohnsonMN and @nrmarda.

Congressman-Elect Matt Little at the DFL election watch party 🎉 in downtown St. Paul: Three things to know about the message that America sent to the White House tonight: “That Pete Hegseth is a dipshit… that J.D. Vance is a dipshit… that Donald Trump is a dipshit! … Someone in the ICE regime is going to jail. … We’re going to hold Congressional hearings, and they’re not going to be able to wear a mask. … What’s happening in Gaza is a genocide. … No more weapons, no more money for Israel. … I’ve got a message for health insurance companies: Don’t try. I’m not your friend. You can’t buy me. … I don’t give a shit.” – at St Paul, MN

It has been the honor of my lifetime to be your lawyer these last eight years, and I’m looking forward to all we can accomplish together in the next four.

BIG NEWS: Democrats have won majorities in at least 51 state legislative chambers, giving Democrats control of the majority of statehouse chambers!
This is a monumental milestone. Now that we’ve made these crucial gains, we must defend them to win 2030 redistricting.
Now the lobbyists/stakeholders phones start working overtime.
✅New members Pro Tip:
They (lobbyists/stakeholders) are paid to work for clients
