Illinois Republicans ran on a message of disinformation, racism, and fear mongering in 2022. Last night voters resoundingly rejected that ideology, and I’ve never been more proud to be an Illinoisan. Oh, and pretty proud of @RepChrisWelch too.

Four years ago in the East Room of the White House I was told to sit down during a press conference on midterm election results. I tried to ask about voter suppression. I was continuously told to “sit down.” Four years later,yesterday I was able to ask three questions.

A man named Mark Jontz has just died in a jail cell in Omaha, Nebraska. He was thrown in jail because he could not pay $1,068 in fines and court costs from a traffic ticket.

So much to unpack from this week’s still unfolding midterms. Really makes me wish I was headed to The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross with @tiffanydcross tomorrow morning to make sense of all we’ve seen so far.

88% of White Christians voted for Herschel Walker who threatened to blow his wife’s brains out, abandon his kids and paid for several abortions instead of… Reverend Raphael Warnock who served as pastor at Ebenezer Baptist… the same church Dr. Martin Luther King was pastor. 🤔

A teacher in Austin Texas calmly expressed his white supremacist ideology to Black students in his class. This is the reason why we need reparations and an anti-Black racism hate crime bill #Rally4Reparations

THREAD. A 70-year-old man has died in the downtown Houston jail because he couldn't pay $500 cash. No media outlet has deemed it important enough to tell the public about his death, but what happened is horrific and his story matters.

Just throwing out there. For everyone who is arguing the reason President Donald J. Trump shouldn’t run again is because of his age…you know Donald Trump is 76 right?

Other high income countries don’t have school shootings on a near daily basis. It’s not because they have clear backpacks, cops in every school, better doors or armed teachers. It’s because they protect kids. Not guns.

It’s the fucking guns.

HOLY SH*T: Georgia banned early voting on the Saturday just before the December 6th Senate runoff between Reverend Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker, claiming that it’s the day after a state holiday (Robert E. Lee’s birthday). Disgraceful.

Can you imagine if pro-lifers focused on ending gun violence?

I have been retained along with Harry M. Daniels to represent Jarrett Hobbs. This is sickening. We will get Justice.

Arizona will now have a Democratic governor and 2 Democratic senators for the first time in 72 years. In case you were wondering how the “red wave” is going.

People’s behavior is how they feel about themselves.

Vice President Harris is bouncing all around the world every day doing the work. She worked tirelessly over the last several months campaigning for Dems with a focus on abortion and young voters. With zero coverage from the media. I never saw anyone ask what Mike Pence was up to

rolandsmartin New York Post @tiffanydcross @MSNBC Consider the source. The NY Post is the precursor to Brietbart. This is a Rupert Murdoch owned tabloid that has been taking shots at Black & Brown people since Its creation. However, if MSNBC played a role in this story, please use your platform to call them out as well!

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the G.O.A.T. Thank you for all that you have done for America.

Speaker Pelosi just said on the House floor, “I have enjoyed working with 3 presidents.” She served as Speaker under 4 presidents. Perfect.

I remember the old saying, “Better to be thought a fool than to buy Twitter and remove all doubt.”
