New pub @polcommjournal! We analyze ~50,000 CBC member tweets to show key differences in CBC men and women’s racial representation. Our findings raise questions a/b how growing gender diversity within the CBC since 1971 has transformed the caucus. Stay tuned for the book!

It’s time to pull ourselves together, and do what needs to get done. Over 50% of Americans decided what they wanted loud and clear last Tuesday, but that doesn’t mean progress still can’t be made. While this may have been a “defeat” in the short term, we will prevail.

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰 Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer 🧵

Dear Madam VP, There are no words for the admiration and inspiration so many of us feel. You have paved the way for women and girls and anyone with a dream and a humble beginning. You made many personal sacrifices and dedicated years to public service and you become one of the most qualified people to lead our country. You extended your arms, made an extra plate, pulled up a chair — for us, the people. And you gave us permission to dream and to lean into our aspirations together.  Thank you for your steadfast leadership and for rising to the occasion in an unprecedented election. This moment is not a reflection of what you’ve done but of the work we need to do. As you gracefully offered at the podium today, the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we keep fighting for it. With joy, with enthusiasm, and with conviction. And we will.

Kamala Harris was the perfect candidate and she ran a beautiful campaign of joy, empathy, and unity. She just happened to run in a nation that is addicted to nihilism, cruelty, and division.

America put a convicted felon in the White House before a woman. The message we just sent to the world. Yikes.

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

We’re going to see some widespread effects here in every sector of U.S. society. It’s about to be a crazy ride. But do tell us when the “price of eggs” go down.

This country is so whack

This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe. The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.

Trump will be inaugurated in on MLK Day. Let that sink in.

Despite today’s horrific outcome, VP Harris ran a phenomenal campaign in a little over 3 months (in my view). Despite their best efforts, there wasn’t much that would have significantly altered this election. Yikes.

Six years ago, the #MA7 sent me to Washington with a mandate for transformative change. Today, you decisively re-elected me as your Congresswoman for a fourth term. From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful for your partnership and your support.

Notice, by the way, that Trump’s claims of “cheating” in Pennsylvania have magically dissipated. He’s a liar to the core—but our country doesn’t mind.
