.@Villegas_CA22 has won his election for Congress in California. As the son of working-class immigrants, Randy knows what it means to work hard and still worry about making ends meet. In Congress, he'll fight to lower the cost of living and win a future that works for all of us.
Randy Villegas, U.S. House of Representatives, CA-22. Working Families Party victory!

It is genuinely heartening that a national strategy based on ginning up racial animus just fell absolutely flat.

We have been getting extremely clear signals essentially every two years for, what, two decades now that Americans are extremely frustrated with the country’s economic and political systems

Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar (D-Texas) after Dems flipped the House: “This is a mandate to deliver big change. No complacency. “Tonight is the beginning of the end of the Trump era. Tomorrow we begin building the better world that comes next.”

It's not just Democrats winning: it's fresh, younger, more populist Dems. I really hope they become the face of the Party - now.

Mid-Michigan: THANK YOU. The final votes are still being cast, but regardless of the result, we built an unprecedented movement here in the 7th district, powered by thousands of volunteers. We're on the verge of beating an incumbent Republican propped up by corporate money and Trump-aligned SuperPACs. If you’re in line to vote, stay in line. We Will Win, together.

Trump's "day one" promise was to lower costs. Two years later, inflation is up, gas prices are hitting record highs, and everything is more expensive. Cost of living is the number one issue voters are taking to the polls, and the relief Trump promised is nowhere to be found.

Democratic 7th Congressional District candidate Will Lawrence's campaign said volunteers have knocked roughly 250,000 doors in the Michigan swing district during the general election campaign. That's separate from the 100K knocked ahead of Lawrence's primary win.

PowerNYC, the public renewable energy developer we proposed for the City of New York, would deliver affordability, stability, and climate leadership in a time of overlapping crises. More from @politico:
THE CASE FOR POWER NYC: If New York City had its own public renewables developer, it could save ratepayers at least hundreds of millions of dollars a year on energy costs, according to a new report from Public Renewables Project and the Climate and Community Institute. PowerNYC could help eliminate the city's continued dependence on local fossil fuel generation," the report said. "Public development creates two kinds of assets that otherwise would not exist: productive infrastructure and financial assets backed by the revenues that infrastructure generates." A public power developer could expand the number of clean energy projects in New York City by coordinating and funding projects that otherwise wouldn't get built - particularly distributed batteries and solar, and thermal energy networks. Ratepayers in New York City pay an estimated 35-40% of statewide costs associated with the Clean Energy Standard, but downstate development of renewable energy has been lacking. New York City does
