Good point! This is soul-satisfying. I hope things aren’t so bad with Covid that Joe and Kamala have to have a Zoom Inauguration, but they they will decide based on public health guidance, not ego.
You enabled all of us to be together for this incredible moment, Nerdy, and for that I will forever be grateful and love you.
A Black woman is now Vice President-Elect of the United States of America.
I never thought I’d live long enough to write that sentence and also be able to acknowledge all of the Black women who have suffered, died but never ever considered doing anything but bringing America to a moment when the words of the Founders BEGAN to ring true – for EVERY person.
Me too. Love you, Chips. Here we are…and we’re all together because of you…and then Nerdy. Keeping the family together through amazing times. Sending love and hugs
🚨 BREAKING: Secret Service has increased its presence outside the Biden home in Wilmington, Delaware and the area above his home has been designated a new restricted "national defense airspace".
So good to wake up to this today! It’s been a long nightmare. We worked long days at the resolution desk Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday was a big cattle auction, 12 hours, so I am very tired today but happy. I love Montana but I am so upset with out results. Too many ads about the Dems defunding the police. All the time, many times an hour. Just so maddening.
But Im going to celebrate the victories we have and send what money I can to Georgia for the next fight.
Thank you Nerdy Wonka for keeping us going. And thank all you Todders for all the information we get. Love you all!!
Remember how graciously that administration turned things over to this one? And how much "institutional knowledge" they left behind so their successors could serve America well? Things might be a tad different come January.
Well I can’t believe there is any “Institutional Knowledge” to even be left behind this time. They (covid 45 and his enablers) destroyed that a long time ago.
✨Georgia Voters✨ 👉🏾TODAY is the last day to 2x, 3x check that your ballot has been counted. This is going to be a close call & recounts might/prob happen. USE YOUR POWER!!
One key litigation fact: Trump's best argument has always been that Pennsylvania cant count ballots arriving after Election Day. It's a weak arg,but its an argument
Here's the thing: the count from Pennsylvania we are all watching does NOT include those ballots. Thats just gravy https://t.co/4auklmmTqh
That’s what Old White Anglo-Saxon Men have been afraid of. As people continue to say, that’s why they work so hard to keep us from voting and try to make it difficult for us to just live.
Doesn’t matter what they call him, it’s what he is. This is the slop they feed their masses
BREAKING NEWS: Per Leaked Memo, Fox News Is Inexplicably Instructing Employees to *Not* Refer to Joe Biden As "President-elect" When It Calls the Race https://t.co/z1UHWCssFW
-JOHN. LEWIS. -Stacey Abrams & Fair Fight. -Everyone who GOTV in GA & KLB, Lucy McBath, Warnock, Ossoff. -Black people. -Black women. -a BW #MVPHarris on the ticket. -and unsung heroes like Nse Ufot who put in 7 yrs of work!!! https://t.co/xw2a8EwpAb
I hope that these factors continue to motivate and inspire Georgians to turn out for the run-off election(s) in December (early voting) and January. We have to realize that voting out tRump is not enough. We also have to vote out the ones who supported and enabled him. The run-off gives us a second chance to do so. Our Lives Depend on It!
Dear 17-year-olds who live in Georgia: if you'll turn 18 by January 5, 2021, you're eligible to vote in the run-off election that will be held on that date. You have until December 7 to register to vote. #FlipTheSenate
#GEORGIA has flipped! Now let’s send #Ossoff & #Warnock to DC • Jan 5th (election day) • If you aren’t registered to vote & want to get off the sidelines you have until Dec 7th to register • Nov 18th—mail in ballots start • Dec 14th early in person #voting#johnlewis#ATLpic.twitter.com/SCoNR5bCIa
We need to register as many voters as possible before the DECEMBER 7TH DEADLINE to help @ReverendWarnock and @ossoff win their January Senate runoffs to give Dems CONTROL OF THE SENATE. #GEORGIAhttps://t.co/RZd2wK8yJ5
The Biden campaign responds to reports that Trump has no plans to concede: “As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.” From @AndrewBatesNChttps://t.co/lCB1CQgG5P
It’s reported that Stacey Abrams worked relentlessly to register over 800,000 new voters across Georgia who were affected by voter suppression in time for the U.S elections.
A massive shoutout to Black women across this country who showed up and showed out. A massive shoutout to Black voters across this country who showed up and showed out.
Black women are the backbone of this country. We are the backbone of the Democratic party. We are phenomenal. We are unmatched. We are the blueprint. We thanklessly put in the work over and over again to save this country from itself. We are magic, yes, but we are also human and we need protection, care, resources, and we need our demands met.
It is not enough to say thank you to Black women from saving America from the worst of itself. What are you going to do to ensure that Black women’s voices are not only heard but our policies are championed and implemented. How are YOU going to be an active ally in ensuring that Black women do not have to do the work alone. How are YOU going to be an active anti-racist. What are YOU going to do to begin dismantling these oppressive white supremacist systems. How are YOU and YOUR community going to show up every time.
Black women will keep on doing the work because we want better for ourselves and those coming after us and we do not have the luxury of waiting on others to have our backs. This is a moment for those who call themselves allies to really take a deep look at their community and its failings and do the work.
A Republican lawyer in Pennsylvania: "These challenges are not going to impact the outcome because none of them are going after the actual vote casts, they are all process challenges." https://t.co/qKgnM1aL6U
Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Pat Toomey to NBC: "I saw the president's speech last night. It was very hard to watch. The president's allegations of large-scale fraud and theft of the election are just not substantiated. I'm not aware of any significant wrongdoing here."
More than 150,000 ballots were caught in Postal Service processing facilities and not delivered by Election Day, agency data shows
The ballots that didn’t reach election officials in time included more than 12,000 in five of the states that have yet to be called for either President Trump or Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
Despite assurances from Postal Service leaders that the agency was conducting daily sweeps for misplaced ballots, the mail service acknowledged in a court filing Thursday that thousands of ballots had not been processed in time, and that more ballots were processed Wednesday than on Election Day. What’s more, the number of mailed ballots that missed election deadlines is expected to grow as more data is released.
It is time for the Decision desks to call this race. Networks and other news organizations should not be intimidated from declaring reality. The Trump team has lost. It’s over. @ProjectLincoln . The threshold for calling these races has been met and then some.
by his White House and campaign staff. He is also supported by several Law firms. All of these people are complicit in the assault against American democracy. None of them should ever be forgiven. All of them should pay a brutal price for betraying the American ideal. (4) The
Elected leaders of the country have an absolute moral and constitutional obligation to defend the country from Trump’s authoritarian delusions and illiberal ravings. (5) There is no middle ground in this moment. (6) The American people have spoken.
kornacki reporting half a point between Joe and Doom in GA.
If Joe gets most of the remaining vote and is declared winner, Dicktraitor has 2 days to ask for a recount.
If I read this correctly, if Biden goes above 0.5% in GA, a recount may not be mandatory. It’s if a recount is requested AND 0.5% or less. Do I understand this correctly?
Some general info on recounts:
GEORGIA — Mandatory if (1) candidate requests and (2) the margin is 0.5% or less of the total votes cast
PENNSYLVANIA — Automatic recount if the margin is 0.5% or less of total votes cast pic.twitter.com/vtZjySLNoy
Woke up to the great news 6:30 and have been scrolling and refreshing Twitter (and commenting ) since then. So happy and thankful to be here with all of you on this long wished and worked for day. Have not started crying yet, but I am starting to exhale. Thank you to NW for keeping the village going all of these years. We have been through the emotional gamut for 12 years. It is right and proper that we are here today to celebrate and to be grateful. There are still perils ahead, but we have a running start.
Next order of business is to help win the GA senate run-off races.
The Georgia voters moved in on him like a bitch. Then they Grabbed ’em by the Pennsylvania. You can do anything you want. When you're a Democracy they let you do that.
No evidence that poll watchers were denied access – in fact they were granted move closer to ballot counters from 10 feet to 6 feet. In a pandemic for crying out loud.
The slow down in counting yesterday was due to the Doom camp pathetic legal attempts.
More Maricopa county PA votes released.
—reports that Declaration of Victory imminent…writing on the blood soaked wall.
The loser doesn’t have to concede. The winner is the winner. Nothing changes. He can go to his grave never having g conceded and not a damn thing changes. He lost, he’s out, Joe Biden is president and Kamala Harris is Vp.

I imagine it as a chilling final turn of the plot. His world is coming to an end. He will never have another good day. Loser label will haunt him. The law will pursue him. Mental illness will hobble him. His properties will bankrupt him.
I am going to end on this – I can be here all day. But blk people again saved Democratic Party with wing lifts from other groups in the Southwest/Midwest.
In political operations, we still don't see them. We still have problems being hired in these staff offices.

Good to know.
–imo GOP still bowing and scraping, saying nothing after he trashes democracy from the WH, means they’re officially on the side of fascism.
When Biden gives his first speech to the Congress (technically not SOTU), his first words will be the most memorable: "Madame Vice-President; Madame Speaker…"
Just because a lot of money was raised doesn't ensure victory! The GOP was defending Senate seats in nearly all red states. But y'all thought winning the Senate was a foregone conclusion? GTFOH.
NV: Tens of thousands of votes still to report in key Clark County. Joe winning 2:1.

The Art of The Deal
Speaker Pelosi Statement on October Jobs Report:
“The October jobs report comes as America reaches a staggering 9.6 million COVID-19 infections, with new cases increasing at a shocking, record rate of more than 100,000 cases for two days straight. This crisis continues to escalate as the impact of the initial Congressional relief runs out and hard-working families suffer. With millions more Americans stuck in long-term unemployment, a million fewer teachers and education jobs compared to a year ago, nearly 8 million people having fallen into poverty and up to 17 million children food insecure, we must crush the virus and protect the lives and livelihoods of the American people.
“House Democrats will continue working toward an agreement that crushes the virus, supports our heroes in state and local government and puts money in the pockets of the American people. And as we look toward the 117th Congress, Democrats will be working to create jobs and deliver bigger paychecks to all hard-working Americans, with bold investments in infrastructure with our Moving Forward Act to Build Back Better.”

They all always step on their own dicks. Always.
…plus women…
That’s what Old White Anglo-Saxon Men have been afraid of. As people continue to say, that’s why they work so hard to keep us from voting and try to make it difficult for us to just live.
Nah. It’s not plus women. It’s Black women who have always been the backbone of the Democratic party.
white women voted in bigger numbers for racist Trump.
Them’s the facts.
I’ll concede to that. 👍🏾❣
So more than 53% of White women voted for Trump in 2020? Sigh.
55%
Dang!!
Wasn’t the same as last time?
More than a little grateful:)
Native voters helped in AZ as well.
Fitting.
