Amazing!

It is an amazing victory...I think this time next year...we will have won big in 26.

of Windsor Heights, Clive, and West Des Moines — Des Moines suburbs, so a Democratic win wasn’t really unexpected. That said, I’m hoping the pendulum is starting to swing back toward purple in this state.

When I read about this race yesterday I was worried since it was Iowa they wouldn’t vote for a black woman! A blow at 71% yeah!

in Iowa. It feels so good.

Not that the national offices aren't important building from the ground up is what we need. She went from city council and then on to state government growing her experience and profile with voters in Iowa. I feel like often we get a high profile candidate that generated a lot of our of state attention that doesn't match their in state attention and serves to make their opponent more popular by virtue of the "out of state interests trying to buy our election" claim.

We also have close races despite gerrymandering.

I wish him well and will add him to my list of candidates to donate to. (Unfortunately, my money and therefore my ability to help is limited these days, but I will help if I can.)

campaign like Tim Ryan did tried to tap into the Trump votes...spent very little time in Cuyahoga Country...but this time is different...Also, good old Bernie called Trump's kid an anchor baby... That will hurt him with the true believers which I think is becoming fewer by the day. Ohio was doing great and now we struggle thanks to Trump and his thieves...who help him steal our money.

state effort like Howard Dean did...never understood why Dean was replaced...he did the best job of anyone that I can remember. It was a mistake.

Important

I always read your posts...

K&R and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year...

with us for a long....no.....forever!!

We had the Army including Eisenhower attacking Americans who came to Washington for their bonus money from world war I. We had starvation...too this day, the number of death during this time has never been released publicly...breadlines, market collapse...no help sent to Americans. And the GOP lost the presidency for 20 years. This could be a once in a generation change in voting behavior...for a good long time. Time for us to rebuild the safety net...fix the insurance debacle...etc.

Medicaid... And while thy should vote for us...and all votes are important, we can win without them.

This is so Brilliant!

Happy New Year... 😍😍😍 .

It’s so sad to me that many of these states we are seeing Democrats win and it’s big to block a GOP supermajority. Or here in Indiana where they didn’t redistrict but still have the 40-10 supermajority. Many of these states fell so far into GOP control that I’m in my 40s and May never see them come back over to the blue in my lifetime.

in a generation election.

Fingers crossed...for 26 and beyond... Time to take back our country. I am a Democrat of course but also a member of the the Democratic Socialist part of the Democratic party. Anyone who knows me...understands how huge this is for me...Time to let the next generation move up. We need progressive policy desperately. We need the elected for fight for us...not business as usual.

I am think this and other victories show...great weakness in the GOP.

Great News. They lost their veto-proof majority! This is important as we head into 2026 midterms.

I am sure they planned to make voting difficult...
