I’m enthusiastically endorsing Ben Wikler for DNC chair because I know him and he knows how to win. Ben and his team have been organizing and communicating all over, nonstop, in a tough state. Tammy Baldwin won. 14 state legislative flips. Let’s do this everywhere.

Touching tribute, from one Wisconsin hero to another. Thank you Tammy Baldwin for serving with dignity and distinction, and building on Herb Kohl’s legacy as a soft-spoken and hugely effective U.S. Senator. We are grateful for your leadership!

Take it from Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer: Ben Wikler is the right person to lead the DNC, and has the winning track record to prove it.
I have said since the day after the election that Democrats should view this moment as a challenge. We must listen to the American people, learn from the results, and move forward stronger. That’s why I am enthusiastically supporting Ben Wikler to be the next Chair of the DNC.
If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵

Joe Biden’s departing gift for Donald Trump is an Iran on the run.

From Syria’s Assad, who’s about to fall, to Hezbollah & Hamas, who’ve been devastated by Israel’s military, Iran’s regional presence is disappearing.

The question now is what’ll Trump do w/ this advantage for US national security.

Do I like Shaka Smart, Kam Jones & this Marquette team? Yep, quite a bit.

Is there any doubt who I’m rooting for today? Nope, none whatsoever.

Go Badgers!

This seems to be a common refrain from lots of people who voted for Trump believing that somehow this time would be different.
Black Republicans feel left out of Trump’s 2nd-term picks
As President-elect Donald Trump fills out his Cabinet and closest advisers, African American Republicans ask why more Black people haven’t been selected.

I can vouch for the 👇
If the DNC wants someone of a different generation who possesses the energy to shake up the party — and to improve the party’s standing in the critical Midwest — then Wisconsin chair Ben Wikler is the obvious choice. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

One of the things I’m holding onto: Strong support across the American Jewish community for Kamala Harris -

71-26% overall
80-17% among women
62-36% among men
83-14% Reform Jews
66-32% Conservative
