Part of rebuilding the country after Trump will be politics & policies -- but just as big a job will be refinding our nation's emotional stability, or what the VP calls our "soul." We're all going through trauma. Our next president needs to be the one helping us heal. /20

I believe this makes Jon Ossoff the highest ranking millennial in America. I can dig it.

Well look at that, it’s @BarackObama explaining why offices like mayor, city council, district & county attorneys and state legislators matter.

Earlier this fall, I had a convo that’s kept me up nearly every night since: A supporter told me that while they loved @runforsomething , they simply couldn’t make us a priority going into 2020. “We have to beat Trump,” they said. “Everything else is on hold.” (/1)

I worked for @CharlieCrist in 2014 & spent a lotttt of time on the road with him - I dunno if he can beat DeSantis but I have no doubts as to how he’s going to spend the next 77 days: No one campaigns harder or spends more time genuinely trying to connect w/ what the voters want.

Thanks for bearing with this long thread. After my aunt died, my family set up the Michelle Benaim Memorial Fund at the @CCAlliance . A donation is always appreciated. /end

EMILY's List was Sinema's biggest donor in 2018 and their team spent big in independent expenditure efforts in Arizona that year. This is the right call & meaningful leverage.

As AOC plays Among Us on Twitch to 400k viewers, I'm thinking back to the tech hearing where a member of Congress didn't understand how spam filters worked. Hot take, I know, but we should elect more young people!

I desperately hope the Kansas result confirms for our elected leaders (👀) that standing up for abortion access and against extremism is a political benefit, not a risk. Make the stakes crystal clear. Voters are on your side.

What’s happening in Montana is as infuriating as what happened in Tennessee. This is a huge deal. Keep your eyes on this.

I have been informed that during tomorrow’s floor session there will be a motion to either censure or expel me. I've also been told I'll get a chance to speak. I will do as I have always done—rise on behalf of my constituents, in defense of my community, & for democracy itself.

Cassie Levesque, 18, is the youngest @runforsomething winner. She’s a Girl Scout leader & advocate for raising the marriage age — and fun fact, she doesn’t have her drivers license yet. She’ll join the NH state leg, where the average age is 66.

This is hard to do but it’s not rocket science: The next DNC chair needs to invest in year-round local organizing in all 50 states (& in both urban/rural areas) & set a tone for working w/ grassroots groups. Donors need to fund it in Jan 2021 (or now), not in Sept 2022.
