A black man who is the reverend at Martin Luther King Jr.'s church, and the young Jewish man who was John Lewis' intern. ..... The beginning of the end of the old South.

if not for his opposition to $2000 covid relief payments, we might be looking at a Republican-controlled Senate.

I began last Wednesday thrilled with Rev. Warnock's win and confident that Ossoff would be declared a winner later in the day. My daughter was celebrating by dressing her little girl in her Kamala and Stacey shirt. It was going to be a good day ...

Hooray for Rev. Warnock, Jon Ossoff, and Stacey Abrams GOTV.

That sage was never around to see Democrats in the 2018 and 2020 cycles, though.

The anxiety of last year. The anxiety of Trump. All of it has robbed us of the joy we should feel. So many of us worked and donated and battled on message boards for these results. But Trump is a miserable psychopath. His entire goal was to rob his enemies of this joy.

We won the White House! We held the House! We won the Senate! Celebrate this next week! It’s inauguration week and time fir a new chapter in which we will rebuild this country.

We were preparing to swear in trump, along with a GOP House and Senate.
What if I had told you that, in four years, we would hold all three? You might say, “Really? We won the Senate?
And you would know I was crazy when I said, “Sure, we elected a black preacher who reminded everyone of MLK, and a son of a Jewish immigrant.”
