Malinowski's work with the Tamils in Sri Lanka when he was at the State Department is commendable given how ignored their community has been. Good to see him running again.
We need a Congress that will protect the Constitution & build prosperity from the bottom up, not the billionaire down. So I'm running in #NJ11, in the first special House election of 2026, the next race we must win to turn America around. Please join us! secure.actblue.com/donate/la…

Ben, the 2000s called. They want their talking points back.
Ben Rhodes: "[The Democrats] should be the party for ending forever wars...we should be the party for dismantling the forever war infrastructure, which includes - what do you think the equipment ICE is wearing. That is stuff that was used in Iraq and Afghanistan." #crookedcon2025

The message I want to hear from Democrats: we're going to rebuild our country from the rubble. The message I'm getting: I saw the collar and it's a vibration collar you're actually crazy if you think he doesn't love that little puppers so very much.
Today I read my son The Very Hungry Caterpillar in my Werner Herzog voice. I am a great parent.

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history. She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

Not only was it a major night for Democrats nationally, but also in local elections across North Carolina. You won't read about about these in the headlines tomorrow, but NC Dems are continuing to lay impressive groundwork — building the bench and racking up wins.

WOW! Mary Sheffield became the first woman to be elected mayor of Detroit in the city’s 324-year history! 👀
Reasonable argument to be made that this was the best night Democrats have had since 2008, maybe even 2006.
Democrats go 18/18 on this list. Insane. I am without words
