Seems like he had no interest but if Tester had run...

The work you put in is never wasted. Those who built infrastructure in DC in 2010-2011, or Texas in 2014, or in the myriad of other places. It's never a waste. It's a hope and it's a prayer and it's work that matters. And it never ends. It's a lifetime fight.

And if you're lucky, you get a night like last night. But even if you don't, you know what you do matters. And that the work will continue. The cause will endure. In a tiny part, because of you.

I must reluctantly recommend this read for some context.

Big props to my six year old for noticing that our neighbor's porch had caught on fire. I was able to grab a fire extinguisher and put it out before it extended too far, including to two propane tanks nearby.

It's a win for America tonight. Don't mistake that, however you interpret that.

The voters have spoken, and I want to extend my congratulations to James Talarico on his election to the U.S. Senate. I look forward to meeting him and offering my assistance with his transition as he prepares to serve Texans in the U.S. Senate.

I mean, I filled out the application form too. Except I didn't end my career in DC politics in disgrace. I never had one. I just lived my life the best I can making a difference where possible.
This probably isn't stunning news to anyone in D.C. politics, but: ex-Ward 2 CM Jack Evans tells me he plans to apply for the interim appointment and then run in the special election for the at-large seat.

Voters on the left and right fear the America they’ve known is slipping away. In dozens of AP interviews with people who voted early in the midterms, angst was palpable among both President Trump’s opponents and many of his supporters. apnews.com/article/election-…

I know it's hard to accept but this is 2014, this is maybe 2010, this is possibly 2006. None of the nonsense over the past few days is going to change the fundamentals. The GOP is in the toilet led by an incredibly unpopular president. Voters are going to reject that.

And it's not necessarily a vote of confidence for Democrats. It's a rejection of Trump and the MAGA movement and it's best Dems not misunderstand that.

America is about to stand up to Trump in a way that we all hoped the Democratic party and our institutions would. Time to follow that.

He's so good at this.
El-Sayed: I have a sense that you all are here today because of the decisions of somebody who's not here right now. I'm just going to tell you, this is a state of 10 million people who deserve a lot better from their government. I'm a lot more focused on the 9,999,998 that are not the ones you guys are talking about I'm not in the business of driving clicks for you. I'm in the business of trying to solve problems for the people of my state
