When corruption starts coughing on its own exhaust, you know the tide’s turned. The scent of last night wasn’t just victory; it was cleansing.

Generally, elections in the year after the presidential election is a good indicator of how people are feeling about the state of things. Last night, voters have spoken and they don't like what Trump's abuses of power and corruption along with Republicans who enable him. They lost elections because their policies are HORRIBLE for the American people. Period.

I am happy about election results and the message that sends to Republicans. I am concerned about someone's fragile ego and who or what he will lash out at.

MAGA is panicking now! Be careful, they will not allow free and fair elections in 2026 after last night. We can be certain Trump will do anything to rig upcoming elections. Make sure you record your experience at the polls in 2026.

We the people have spoken! I'm wearing this "We the People means everyone" tee to celebrate our great victory 👇

The momentum is ours, now we need everyone to play a role in keeping it going. Let's also keep those sleeves rolled up and keep working to get our country back! Republicans know the only way they’re going to win the midterm elections is if they cheat and steal and block Democrats from being able to vote.

But we mustn't think, "We'll, that's it." Keep reminding those that turned woke up. Momentum continuing through 26 and beyond. Alot of Facists out there. They keep going. We keep going.

I keep reminding people that we had a record turnout in 2018 PRECISELY because voters were sick of Trump's bullshit. And next year is going to be an even BIGGER blue wave because things are so much worse now than they were in 2018.

What’s amazing as well is that by all accounts of how fast tyrannies historically take over is that it’s never fast, at least not as fast as is being attempted by tRump and his Project 2025 handlers. Sure, they’ve flooded the zone and done a lot of damage, but what they didn’t anticipate is we are faster and proved it last night. What a beautiful Defense for Democracy! Now, we’re on the Offense. See us run!!! Until we best the hell out of you again in 2026, and then in 2028. Go team! We the People have just begun to fight!

Job well done, America! I went to bed feeling hopeful last night, as I'm sure millions and millions of you did too. Watching Zohran Mamdani's speech had me cheering and fist bumping my phone screen! It also choked me up, and I'm not even American. Lady Liberty is smiling, smiling at ALL of you, for making this happen. Reminding you who built your country - YOU DID!! so very thrilled for you all. This is only the beginning, keep going. ❤️ 🇨🇦

I'm so very impressed that you stayed away from the drama, the "hair on fire," the doom and gloom! You sound so happy! And you should be. We all are and I'm excited that you joined the crowd.

Overconfidence can be embarrassing, so let's be cautious. There's a huge contingent of voters easily swayed by nonsense, conspiracy theories, and outright lies, and billions of dollars weren't being spent on feeding them utter bullshit. This was a warning signal for the ultrawealthy that buying the government is an installment payment plan. Their money will be everywhere next year, spreading fear and hate to the gullible. We particularly need to consider candidates to go up against establishment Republican Senators because we need to replace several to vaccinate against the Trump disease.

Yes, Roger. The amount of determination among our citizens is something to really celebrate. But we have to brace ourselves for more heavy lifting through the next election and beyond to get the say-nothing Republicans/magas out. I dare say we have some Democrats that have dropped the ball while the times demand nimble push back and fire in the belly.
