Republicans saw Kamala Harris coming a long time ago & tried to stop her. They failed. Now, some Democrats are convinced that the woman who got the third highest number of votes in American history can't win the presidency. The Orange clown came back from defeat but somehow she can't. It's not true.
Democratic Socialist and Justice Democrat Melat Kiros, 29, has defeated Denver Congresswoman Diana DeGette to become the first Ethiopian American member of the Congressional Black Caucus and the first Black woman elected from Colorado. #CO1
Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros is stunning Colorado Democrats by leading 30 year incumbent Diana DeGette 47.5% to 46.2% in Denver's 1st Congressional District. Democratic Socialists are having a banner year.
Maryland State Delegate Adrian Boafo, the child of Ghanaian immigrants, has won the Democratic nomination in Maryland's fifth district to succeed his boss, Rep. Steny Hoyer. He will be the next member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
All three Mamdani endorsed candidates won their races. Former NYC Comptroller Brad Lander has defeated Congressman Dan Goldman. Clare Valdez has defeated Brooklyn Borough President Arturo Reynoso to succeed Nadia Velasquez. And Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated Rep. Adriano Espaillat.
The racism on display in the Roberts Court's destruction of the most powerful and successful piece of civil rights legislation in our history is why "Polite White Supremacy" and Critical Race Theory were invented.
This is Justice Hugo Black (1886-1971), the child of an Alabama Confederate, who came of age at the height of Jim Crow. He was a U.S. Senator & former Klansman who understood the necessity of upholding civil rights & voting rights. If he could do it, the Roberts Court can do it. They chose violence.
Trump embedded Musk and his minions inside the federal government and allowed them to destroy USAID, which will kill 4.2 million of the world's most vulnerable people as a "cost-saving" measure over the next four years. If u think u understand the mendacity of Trumpism, I would submit that u don't.
Make no mistake, DeSantis' last redistricting scheme was racist and so is his latest. This time he goes after African American and Latino opportunity districts, which is against Florida's constitution and the Voting Rights Act. The entire Florida Supreme Court is Republican & will never oppose him.
Today, we recognize our Transgender brothers and sisters. Have a great day today.
Meet the newest members of the Congressional Black Caucus: Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, State Rep. LaShawn Ford, and Commissioner Donna Miller.
In Illinois 7th Congressional District, State Rep. LaShawn Ford leads AIPAC stooge Melissa Conyears-Earvin by nearly 4% with 68% of the votes in. #IL07
With 84% reporting, Progressive Daniel Biss is still leading by nearly 6% over Squad-Endorsed Leftist Kat Abughazaleh. The AIPAC stooge is in third. #IL09
In Illinois 2nd Congressional District, AIPAC stooge Donna Miller has all but won over Jesse Jackson, Jr. with 61% of the vote in. AIPAC flooded the district with more than $3.3 million. #IL02
Lt. Gov. Julianna Stratton stands on the precipice of victory in the Illinois Senate race. She leads in Cook County. If those numbers hold, she will become the state's fourth Black U.S. Senator. #ILsen
With 26% reporting, Lt. Gov. Julianna Stratton leads Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi and Rep. Robin Kelly in the race to succeed Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin. #ILsen
With 17% reporting, Daniel Biss leads AIPAC stalwart State Sen. Laura Fine and SQUAD-endorsed leftist Kat Abughazaleh #IL09
Jasmine Crockett's pastor, Rev. Frederick Haynes III will become the newest member of the Congressional Black Caucus and her successor. #TX30
I'm hella proud of the campaign my sister ran, and I look forward to her return to the arena in the future. #TXsen
Texas has now exhausted the early vote and is now releasing Election Day votes. The confusion in Dallas County was caused by Republican incompetence and mid-decade redistricting. #TXsen
Jasmine is closing the gap but most of this is early vote, and not Election Day vote. Cornyn and Paxton are going to runoff for the Republican nomination. #TXsen.
The Texas Supreme Court has put some shit in the game and interfered in Dallas County. Both campaigns are trying to respond. Talarico maintains his lead, but the lion's share of Jasmine's base remains unreported. #TXsen
Talarico still leads without Dallas reporting. That will change when Jasmine's home base comes in. #TXsen
Talarico maintains his lead but Dallas County, Crockett's base, hasn't reported, with 36% results in.
With 31% reporting and large numbers coming in from Talarico's base in Austin and West Texas, he's taken the lead for now.
1,503,212 Texans early voted in the Democratic Primary, surpassing Republican turnout by about 225,000. If that continues on Election Day, it will shatter a record that has stood for at least thirty years. And in case you've missed it, Texans are mad as hell. #TXsen
