To all those family & friends who are talking about airport chaos: this is the perfect time to make the direct connection to Trump & Republicans. The long wait times, delayed flights, cancelled flights, are on THIS Administration. That is why your travel experience is worse.
Name them. Blame them.
Name them. Blame them.

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

I know there’s lots of talk about 2026, but there’s a big election in Tennessee December of THIS year. Pay attention to Aftyn Behn, running for Congress in Tennessee’s 7th District. She’s 35 & a former social worker. A recent poll had her within the margin of error. Republicans are running scared.

Here’s something that isn’t getting a lot of attention:
Young women in VA, NJ, & NY all broke for Democrats at nearly 80% or HIGHER. Young men did slightly better than 2024, with the majority of them breaking for Democrats.
There is hope. Keep rallying your young folks

Turns out slashing SNAP benefits, slapping tariffs on countries indiscriminately, threatening to take away healthcare, & acting like a dictator does not bode well for Americans. Awful night for Trump & Republicans, but a great night for our democracy & the comeback of Democrats.

Say what you want about Zohran, but take his win as an important lesson for Democrats.
He turned out millions of people because he brought a fresh energy, he wasn’t afraid to have fun, he met voters where they were, and he gave people a real future to believe in.
A very good night for Democrats.

There we have it. NBC officially projects Abigail Spanberger as the next governor of Virginia.
This is what happens when disastrous Trump policies meet Democrats campaigning smartly, selling a concrete vision, & not being afraid of going everywhere. Horrible night for Trump.

Find your people. Gather with people of different political ideologies, generations, faiths, & backgrounds. We can all learn from each other, and, better yet, find ways to resist and take action together. Connect in-person, come up with a plan, and form your own group of joyful, unbeatable warriors.

I encourage everyone to find one young person in their life and explain why the complete demolition of the East Wing matters. It's not just a building -- it's history, it's tradition, it's the people's house.

Last night, I did something I’ve never done before: I got a group of people from different generations and backgrounds together (including the indomitable Jane Fonda) for a roundtable discussion with one of my heroes, Tim Snyder.

By the way, the stuff Trump was talking about — declaring a war on our inner cities — is exactly what Kamala Harris was talking about when she said Trump would turn the military against its own citizens.
