If you support eliminating the Department of Education, you do not support our students. Period. @USEDgov provides funding for: ✅Students w/ disabilities ✅Rural students ✅Programs that make college affordable This would be bad for students, and bad for America.

Life hack: stop reading post-election analysis articles. It’s time to get to work.

It’s going to take time to sort through what happened Tuesday. But I've read a lot of takes the past few days (some good, many bad), and I've had a lot of people ask how I won one of the toughest districts in the country by over 13%. Here are some thoughts: 🧵

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important. We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵

@ItsNeeksYeah @TranyeWest At this moment our family is one of my few bright spots and one of my most tangible sources of inspiration to fight.

@ItsNeeksYeah @TranyeWest And I hear that that’s a cop out of sorts. ‘Well of I was this or that, then I’d do it” but I have been happily married to my partner for 15 years with 3 kids. We both are highly active in community organizing. He flew to Pittsburgh to knock on doors. He is not my oppressor 🤷‍♀️

Not to be that guy, but the 4B movement won’t work in America because white women would have to LEGITIMATELY swear off their oppressors. At no point in history have they stood by their sisters of color long enough for change to happen. I’m not saying that to be cruel.

@Freeyourmindkid And a white dude

@BlackKnight10k Same way the North Carolina governor race (and AG and SOS) went Democrat, while Trump won the Presidential election. Same way a Republican governor won in Vermont while the state went for Harris. This happens all the time.

Does anyone have the answer to how Democrats won the AZ Senate race but lost the presidential election

@BasedMikeLee All of the states take this long to count votes. It just isn’t “called” yet because it’s too close.

Is there any credible, non-suspicious explanation for Arizona and Nevada taking this long to count votes?

Rain didn’t stop us! Get out and VOTE! #WeMakeMN #KidsCountOnUs #WeMakeOurFuture

Remember Minnesota voters, you are legally entitled to take paid time off to vote today sos.state.mn.us/elections-voti…

My generalized anxiety teaming up with my current very specific anxiety:

@NateSilver538 You are killing us sir.

OMG.

We'll press go on the ~final Silver Bulletin model run~ at midnight after we enter any straggling polls. (There's still stuff expected out tonight.) Publication ETA ~1230a. We don't want to chase down every little tick in the meantime given how close we are to 50/50.

My two big wishes for the 2024 election: High turnout & low drama. Let’s make them both happen! 🗳️

@joncoopertweets @keyacgomes Okay I get the sentiment, but also it’s the first time I have felt authentically hopeful in weeks, so I shan’t be ignoring it though

Ignore the Iowa poll — ignore ALL the polls. Pedal to the metal. All gas, no brakes.
