Just had to barricade myself with Keylin in a restaurant when a shooting broke out in DC on 14th Street. The only thing I could think of was: “statistically this was bound to happen to me at some point” and I truly fucking hate that.
Thankfully we are safe and unharmed.

In 2009, Democrats lost the Virginia governors race by 17 points and New Jersey by 4 points.

This is what it actually looks like on the ground. And honestly, a lot of volunteers and Dem base voters who are appalled at these take down efforts + disregard of their role in the Democratic process. The beltway is loud, but I promise these people are louder and actually vote.

The political job industry is opaque, difficult to navigate, and 99% reliant on connections. We should do more to make the process more transparent and accessible. How can we build up the current + next generation of political staff if they never get in the door to begin with?

We beat Trump. We defeated the most destructive President our country has ever had. The circular firing squad and blame game can wait. There's a lot to process.
But we'll never get to relive the day we defeated Donald Trump. Take a moment to sit with what you have accomplished.

The future of the Democratic Party runs through the South. It's easy to say during a big election, but we need to repeat that over & over again long after Jan. 5th, then match that w/ year-round investments. That's how we win in Georgia, and that's how we create the next Georgia.

This weekend, I was in my rural hometown, which has one of the lowest vaccine rates in NC. The fear & misinformation running through communities like this is a direct result of a corporate, morally bankrupt media ecosystem that cares about $ and doesn't give a shit about people.
ER doctor says he doesn't "blame my patients for their refusal" to get vaccinated.
"I do blame Fox News and other right-wing media outlets for poisoning the minds of millions of Americans with the deceptive propaganda they spray into living rooms 24/7."

I can't stomach Republicans running to Twitter and Facebook to "condemn" these acts of sedition. You get no credit for calling anything out now. You are not brave. You are not a hero for yelling "the house is burning down" when you're the one who set it on fire. You are cowards.

Over the next two years, GOP-controlled legislatures are going to pass the most sweeping voter restrictions in a generation for two reasons:
1) They can't win the game, so they have to change the rules.
2) They need to appease a base that has been radicalized by THEIR OWN lies.

Electing Democratic majorities at the state level means protecting, strengthening, and expanding our democracy.
Access to the ballot box is a cornerstone of a functioning, reflective democracy, and only one party is interested in it.
Since 2019, Virginia has gone from one of the hardest states for voting to one of the easiest, according to a ranking by researchers at Northern Illinois University.

I might tattoo this on my forehead. We cannot decouple short-term electoral victories and long-term power building work. Elections are like step 7 in a long, year-round process to building progressive power and strengthening democracy at the local, state, national level.
We will win in 2022 because of the investments made in the next 6 months, not those made at the end of the cycle--investments in party infrastructure that won’t be washed away after one election. That’s how we made the progress we have today & how we’ll go even further.

Never forget the millions of dollars in racist ads that billionaire Kelly Loeffler ran against Rev. Warnock over the last few months. Not only is Warnock going to be an INCREDIBLE United States Senator, but he will replace someone who is bafflingly unfit to hold public office.
I've seen enough. Raphael Warnock (D) defeats Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R) in GA's special Senate runoff.
