Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

🚨 MARYLAND: Your local leaders must hear from you ASAP. The only way Trump’s redistricting coup works is if blue states sit back and do nothing. Demand that your elected officials move forward to unrig the midterm maps and level the playing field before it’s too late: indivisible.org/resource/red...
Maryland’s Democratic Senate president blocks anti-Trump redistricting fight
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones, two of the state’s top Democrats, want a special session to redistrict. Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson said no.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

What I am working on while snuggled up on the couch with my kitty on this #caturday 🧶 The past couple of weekends have been busy, so I am grateful for a some (hopefully) quiet, restful days. I wanted something a bit more geometric to work on, so I designed this one a week or so ago. #knitsky

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

A passionate plea that completely resonates with me.

"...Don’t you dare call me unpatriotic for refusing to worship corruption. Don’t you dare tell me that loving this country enough to fight for it makes me the enemy. That isn’t patriotism. That’s rot. That’s decay..."
