Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Rolling up to the White House to cheer on the president destroying the agency that makes sure kids in wheelchairs have equal access to education is wild
At the White House right now. Headed to see President @realDonaldTrump return control of education back to the states—where it belongs.

The temperature high was 81 degrees in New York on Wednesday NOVEMBER 6, by the way.
But America elected a climate change denier because the black lady didn’t have the right message for people who never went to college.
We are very close to watering our crops with Gatorade.

Finally, disaggregated data on the “Latino” vote. Relieved to see that Mexican voters did better than that infographic lumping all Latinos together (right) implied. as-coa.org/articles/poll-tra…

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

Update: Several of the migrants I’ve been speaking with say they would have voted for Trump themselves. Most are folks who crossed the border illegally in the last 2-3 years. They don’t believe Trump will deport them, because they are here to work and are “not criminals.”

This exit poll data is wild:
White men, white women, Black men, Black women, Latina women ALL tracking their 2020 numbers very closely.
Latino men, 2020: Biden 59%, Trump 36%
Latino men, 2024: Harris 45%, Trump 53%
A HUGE shift from D+23 to R+8

Democracy is clarity. As a student of human behavior, I believe it reflects the will of the people. The race is not over but the blame game has begun. I will not let the pundits scapegoat Black voters. I will not let you scapegoat Arab American voters. Not even the shift of Latino voters. Donald Trump was supported by White men, White women, non college educated and college educated. Suburban White women and rural White women by a majority. It’s clear that my neighbors, coworkers, and friends have no problem with a convicted felon, convicted rapist, racist, and misogynist leading their government. They share his values. People show you who they are.

After tonight’s debate there should be no doubt – no room for discussion – @KamalaHarris is the only candidate in this race who is ready to be President.
I am once again urging everyone to roll up their sleeves and DO SOMETHING – phone bank, knock on doors, talk to any and everyone you know and urge them to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Every vote will matter in what will be a close race. We cannot afford to have anyone sitting on the sidelines. There’s simply too much at stake.
Get involved today at go.KamalaHarris.com.

Rep. Ilhan Omar on CNN on if she'll vote for President Biden in November: "Of course. Democracy is on the line. We are facing down fascism."

The impact of nearly 10 months of war, displacement, disease & deprivation on Sudan’s 24M children is horrific.
Without urgent action, #Sudan risks a generational catastrophe with grave implications for the country, the region, and beyond.
