When I came to Congress in 1987, there were only twelve Democratic women. We made it our mission to change that.
Today, we celebrate the election of more than 100 Democratic women to the House — a tremendous joy and source of pride.
When women succeed, America succeeds!

To give you an idea: #FL14 was expected to be a tossup. But with 73% of the vote counted, Kathy Castor (D) is up by 13 points.

Welp. Let's get to it: This is not a good early set of results for Republicans in Kentucky's 6th. Republican candidate Ralph Alvarado is significantly underperforming in the early results for this Trump +15 seat. This seat gives some early cues on the size of the wave.

Indiana U.S. House District 5
Hamilton County, IN (Early Vote):
🔴 2024: Spartz +4
🔵 2026: Ford +27
This 31-point swing toward Democrats is significant. Victoria Spartz, whom VoteHub rates Likely R, is now in serious trouble. IN-05 is a genuinely competitive race.

Jesus. The Democratic nominee for Indiana Secretary of State, Beau Bayh, is absolutely crushing his benchmarks right now in this Trump +19 state.
He's absolutely a favorite to flip this office at the moment.

All due respect Congressman @RoKhanna -- this entire thread started with you attacking Newsom for "shilling." Sounded kind of like a personal attack to me, rather than just focusing on the positives of the ballot initiative you support. But if you are not for going after people personally, that's good news!
Thanks @MarkPocan and for your vision and leadership.
There is also a difference between a debate with others in our party over issues (billionaire tax, medicare for all, repealing Laken Riley, no aid to Israel) and going after people personally. I'm for the former, not latter.

Had a blast interrupting THE DUNGEONMASTER aka RAGE WAR yesterday at Fantastic Fest with co-interrupters Doug Mellard, Roxy Castillo and John Erler. Thanks to James Pound for bringing in that weird ass movie!

I dunno man, it’s not like he’s just a regular old normal president. I get that everyone is invested in Mamdani being perfect, but that press conference was pretty gross. Liz Cheney made it her life’s mission to ensure that Trump wasn’t normalized. She went down swinging.

Exclusive: More American service members have died in the Middle East during the ongoing Iran war than the Pentagon has disclosed publicly, according to six U.S. officials familiar with the data.

The media was so creative when prices were high under Biden. Remember when milk was up and they found a family that went through 7 gallons a week and interviewed them? Now that prices are even higher now under trump, they’ve somehow lost their spark

A victory for democracy, a defeat for election deniers.

Gloria Steinem on Dolly Parton, 1987:
"If feminism means each of us finding our unique power, and helping other women do the same, Dolly Parton certainly has done both."

The whole point of Talarico’s candidacy was that he would bring in white and Latino voters and Jasmine could not. Jasmine cant help him with those voters and if she campaigned with him she would hurt him with those voters. It’s best she stay away.
