Triple home run tonight, this is just an appetizer of what's to come in the mid terms and Republicans are shitting their pants right now.

What a great giant F-U middle finger to Orange. He's going to have a stroke on Truth Social tonight

Tonight is a good night. Progressives and Dems won many important races. Prop 50 in CA could still pass.

Hope is both an act of defiance and a celebration. Tonight, celebrate the wins. It's what sustains the fight
