Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Virginia voters have spoken, and tonight they pushed back against a President who claims he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats in Congress. As we watched other states go along with those demands without voter input, Virginians refused to let that stand. We responded the right way: at the ballot box.





.@GovTimWalz .@MinnesotaDFL Its the taxes stupid. alphanews.org/minnesotas-eco… You have destroyed Minnesota's economy by making it cost prohibitive to do business in Minnesota. You can't continue to raise taxes and expect business to stay or to relocate in Minnesota. @MinnesotaMiners






NEW: “Tehran will not bargain away its sources of leverage,” CATO Institute’s @Hoffman8Jon tells me. “Tehran believes it is creating a new status quo between it and Washington. Tehran likely feels it has not inflicted a sufficient level of pain to keep this [war] from happening again and will therefore want real concessions and guarantees from the United States during negotiations. Absent that, they'll return to war, since this is a war of attrition they are better suited to win. All they have to do to win is survive.” Latest in @playbookdc: politico.com/newsletters/pl…

No taxpayer $$ to Israel. No Israeli PM in Situation Room. End occupation. I am Team America. Trump is obsessed with war in the Middle East. It's time for a new generation for a new moral direction for Democrats.
