I know it's a low bar, I really do, but: I am heartened by the number of defeated Republicans who are conceding and congratulating their opponents.

MAJOR WIN IN OREGON! Oregonians have made it clear that they support strong gun laws that will make their communities safer by voting YES to ban high capacity magazines and to require a permit to purchase firearms! We know these measures will save lives! #ORLeg

SHE DID IT!!! Oregon Moms Demand Action volunteers worked SO HARD to elect Tina Kotek governor - from the first panel we held in September to discuss gun safety (her opponents refused to attend) to knocking doors on cold and rainy weekends. Hard work paid off. 💪💪💪 #midterm2022

Last night’s election results prove what @momsdemand volunteers already knew: Gun safety is a priority issue among a majority of American voters - especially women - and it persuades, mobilizes, and serves as a litmus test. 🧵

I would not be here without the amazing leadership of Shannon Watts and my Moms Demand Action pals. And Oregon passed #M114! A ballot measure that will establish a permit to purchase requirement for guns (ALSO thanks to Shannon Watts , Moms Demand Action , Lift Every Voice Oregon ) We did it!

Imagine if, rather than having a public school system, we told parents it was up to them to secure and finance K12 education on their own. And that if they couldn’t afford it then maybe they just shouldn’t have had a child. For many this is our current reality from birth-five.

An incredible candidate with a campaign filled with heart and soul. It was an honor to support Jamie McLeod-Skinner for Oregon. We can't wait to see what you do next. Oregon still needs you.

We have doubled the number of pediatricians in US Congress! Dr. Yadira Caraveo (CO-08) joins Dr. Kim Schrier (WA-8) in the US House of Representatives! (And we'll get Dr. Annie Andrews there in '24!) #RepresentationMatters #PermanentChildTaxCredits nbcnews.com/news/latino/co…

Say their names: from left, Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry. Young men just starting their life, cut short in gun violence at Univ of VA. Guns everywhere is just NOT how we should be living. #WeCanEndGunViolence

As the daughter of a Mexican immigrant, I know change is possible in a single generation -- but only if we work for it. I am ready to get to work on behalf of #OR06. Thank you for electing me to be your champion. My full statement:

BREAKING: Democrats just held control of the Oregon House and Senate, overcoming a massive GOP war chest! Oregon voters rejected the GOP’s MAGA lies and extremist policies, trusting Dems yet again to work for the people.

BREAKING: Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, has filed to run for president again in 2024. n.pr/3THqnJM

I love this so much. pamplinmedia.com/fgnt/36-news/5…

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows. Don’t you dare act surprised.

In case you didn’t know or forgot…

We all want to hold somebody accountable for the senseless gun violence in America, and we have an opportunity to do that in 10 days. We must elect Sen. Reverend Raphael Warnock and enable gun sense champions to get work done in the Senate. Text GEORGIA to 644-33 🧵

Your periodic reminder that charity will never solve what public policy was meant to address. The generosity of strangers is not a substitute for good public policy.
